Hibernian striker Leigh Griffiths has been included on the shortlist for the PFA Scotland's player of the year.

The on-loan Wolverhampton Wanderers forward has also been joined by Motherwell's Michael Higdon, Aberdeen's Niall McGinn and Inverness Caledonian Thistle's Andrew Shinnie.

Griffiths has also been included in the young player of the year section alongside Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama and Dundee United duo Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven.

"This is the top award for players. There is no greater honour in football than to be voted the best player in your country by your fellow professionals," said SPFA chief executive Fraser Wishart.

The winners will be announced on May 5.
