Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has been named as one of four nominees for the coveted PFA Manager of the Year award - after winning all but three of his games on domestic soil this season.
The Aussie took the award in his debut campaign last time out after upsetting the apple cart and gaining the Scottish Premiership title back from Rangers, who had won the famous trophy for the first time in 10 seasons under Steven Gerrard in 2020/21. With fans of the Parkhead club rightly singing his praises, Postecoglou got to work again this season - and has blown away any competition, with a potential treble looking extremely likely.
Should Celtic win their remaining four games in the Scottish Premiership season, they would break the 106-point record achieved under Brendan Rodgers in 2016/17, and a Scottish Cup final against second-tier Inverness Caledonian Thistle awaits them at the start of June. And so it is no surprise to see Postecoglou up for the award - though he is joined by another Scottish Premiership boss.

St Mirren's Stephen Robinson has also been nominated to win the award after dragging the Buddies to their first top-half finish in the top-flight since 1985 via a series of impressive performances. Being the only team to beat Celtic - alongside being the only side to stop the Hoops from scoring - they sit sixth in the table, and could qualify for European football should they beat Hearts and Aberdeen in the coming weeks.
Elsewhere, Dunfermline gaffer James McPake has earned a nomination after seeing his Pars side romp to the Scottish League One title, whilst Stirling Albion boss Darren Young has also made the final quartet.
Only once in the previous decade has a manager outside of Scotland's top-flight taken the PFA Manager of the Year award - that was Jack Ross in 2017/18, where he took the bragging rights for leading St Mirren to the Scottish Championship title.
