Who's your pick for top Scot

SCOTLAND’S Euro 2020 hopes have been put on hold but the SFWA will continue to hand out our International Player of the Year award, sponsored by William Hill.

The Scottish Sun’s GARETH LAW takes a look at the four nominations.

There were six more caps for CALLUM McGREGOR in another action-packed season for the Celtic midfielder.

After having to bide his time to prove he couldn’t be dropped from the Parkhead side he’s now a mainstay in Steve Clarke’s midfield too.

He also looked to be forming a growing partnership with Old Firm rival Ryan Jack.

Twelve months ago JOHN McGINN was scoring Aston Villa’s winner in the Championship play-off final to fire them to the Premiership.

Since then his form for club and country has continued to earn admirers.

Seven goals in six games including a hat-trick against San Marino turned him into Steve Clarke’s talisman.

Injury halted his season and he was fighting a race against time to make March’s Euro play-offs when football was halted.

RYAN CHRISTIE is another player who has shown he can be counted on by club and country.

There were six more appearances for the Celtic man, including the first goal of Steve Clarke’s reign in the 2-1 win over Cyprus.

His energy and determination allied with goal scoring and goal creating have made him stand out.

Hearts fans know how much they missed STEVEN NAISMITH when he was injured this season.

Steve Clarke must wish he could have called on him sooner too.

Naismith finally broke through the 50-cap mark to take his place in Scotland’s Hall of Fame.

He was also handed the armband for the final two Euro qualifiers when Andy Robertson was injured.

You can make your selection now on the SFWA voting form.
