McInnes is Manager of the Year

Derek McInnes has been voted the William Hill SFWA Manager of the Year for season 2025/26.

McInnes stands 90 minutes away from leading Hearts to the Premiership title after a remarkable effort in his first campaign at Tynecastle.

Celtic boss Martin O’Neill, Motherwell’s Jens Berthel Askou and John McGlynn of Falkirk also made the four-man shortlist this term.

But it is McInnes who has lifted the prize for the third time in his career. He was honoured in 2014 during his time at Aberdeen and recognised once again two years ago for his efforts at Kilmarnock.

McInnes will collect his award at the SFWA dinner on Sunday, May 17.
