Hamilton Academical midfielder James McCarthy has won Scottish PFA Young Player of the Year award.

The 18-year-old has enjoyed an outstanding first season in the SPL and won the nod ahead of team-mate James McArthur, Hearts' Andrew Driver and Hibs striker Steven Fletcher.

McCarthy said: "I'd just like to thank everybody who voted for me. I'm delighted, especially with the three other players who were involved.

"But it's not just down to me, it's down to my team-mates. They've helped me through this season and many thanks to them.

"I think we've all adapted to it really well, the whole squad and I'm just delighted to be part of that."
