Celtic's Emma Lawton, Hibs' Eilidh Adams, Rangers' Katie Wilkinson and Glasgow City's Samantha van Diemen have been nominated for the PFA Scotland women's player of the year award.

Celtic defender Lawton made the switch from part-time outfit Partick Thistle in the summer and has become a regular in Elena Sadiku's side. She has featured in the UWCL and also earned her first senior Scotland cap this term.

Rangers forward Wilkinson leads the SWPL goal-scoring charts with 32 goals so far this season. Having joined last summer, she has been a massive part of Rangers' success as their domestic treble hopes continue.

Van Diemen has been a rock in defence for Glasgow City this term as they look to reclaim their SWPL crown. Leanne Ross' side have conceded the fewest goals in the division (14) and are still within a shout of taking home the trophy next month.

Hibs striker Adams has played a huge part in the Edinburgh side's journey to the top of the SWPL table, netting 21 goals in the top flight so far this season.

Adams has also been nominated for young player of the year alongside Hearts' Erin Husband, Spartans' Hannah Jordan and Rangers striker Laura Berry.
