Manchester United head coach Eva Olid, Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert and Ballon d'Or nominee Caroline Weir are among those on the shortlist for the Scottish Women's Football Awards 2026.
Olid led Heart of Midlothian to their first Scottish Women's Premier League title last season before moving to England's Superleague.
The Spaniard is in the running to be coach of the year but is up against Leanne Crichton, whose Rangers side finished runners-up and currently lead the 2026-27 table, Hibernian's Joelle Murray, and Jack Beesley, who led Spartans back to the top flight.
Vying for the SWPL 1 player of the year award are four strikers - Glasgow City's Nicole Kozlova, Celtic's Saoirse Noonan, Rangers' Katie Wilkinson, and Georgia Timms, who left Hearts for Ipswich Town this summer.
Cuthbert, fellow midfielder Weir, who joined Lyon from Real Madrid during the close season, Brann winger Lauren Davidson and striker Kathleen McGovern, who switched from Hibernian to Newcastle United, are on the shortlist for Scotland international player of the year.
The winners will be announced at Hampden Park on 28 November.
