We gave supporters the opportunity to vote for their Player of the Year on our website, with fans being asked to select the player they felt had the biggest impact on first team performances this season, and who deserved to be the latest recipient of this coveted award.

They were asked to choose from a list of the ten players who have made the most appearances throughout the campaign.

The three players who received the most votes, in alphabetical order, were Lewis Ferguson, Ross McCrorie and Calvin Ramsay.
