Ange Postecoglou, Stephen Robinson, Barry Robson and James McPake have all been nominated for the Scottish Football Writers' Association Manager of the Year award.

Postecoglou, who won Manager of the Year at the PFA Scotland awards, has led Celtic to a second successive Premiership title.

All that stands between Celtic and a fifth treble in seven seasons is Inverness Caledonian Thistle, who Postecoglou's side face in next month's Scottish Cup final

Aberdeen were seventh in the Scottish Premiership when Barry Robson took interim charge in January following Jim Goodwin's sacking.

The 44-year-old, who has since signed a two-year deal as permanent manager, has guided the Dons to third in the league and on the brink of securing European football for next season.

Stephen Robinson overhauled the St Mirren squad last summer and they still have a chance of European football after securing their first top-six finish since the split was introduced.

James McPake took charge at Dunfermline last May after their relegation to League One and has taken them back to the Championship at the first attempt.
