‘Super’ John McGinn has been named as the PFA Scotland Championship Player of the Year.
The 22-year-old Scotland international landed the accolade ahead of team-mate Jason Cummings, Queen of the South forward Stephen Dobbie and Morton’s Ross Forbes.
McGinn has been a revelation since signing from St Mirren two years ago and even has how own song which is regularly belted out from the East Stand.
Prior to joining Hibs, he won a League Cup winners medal after helping the Buddies to a memorable victory over Hearts.
Last season he achieved legendry status by winning the Scottish Cup with Hibs and this year he helped the club to the Championship and automatic promotion back to the top flight.
His form over the last two years has resulted in international recognition, making his Scotland debut against Denmark where he earned the man of the match award. So far he has won three caps but remains in Gordon Strachan’s plans.
He also previously captained Scotland Under 21s.
Team mate Jason Cummings also lost out to Celtic’s Kieran Tierney for the Young Player of the Year award.
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
