Celtics Leigh Griffiths, Aberdeens Jonny Hayes and Dundee duo Kane Hemmings and Greg Stewart have been nominated for PFA Scotland Player of the Year 2015/16. Jason Cummings, John McGinn, Barrie McKay and Kieran Tierney are up for Scotlands Young Player of the Year gong. We take a closer look at all the nominees for this years top prizes. PFA Scotland Player of the Year nominationsLeigh Griffiths - Celtic (striker) Celtics Leigh Griffiths is targeting 40 goals for the season after being nominated for the PFA Scotland Player of the Year award The 25-year-old Edinburgh born striker continued the form he picked up in the second half of last season and has blown the competition out the water in this campaigns scoring charts. Griffiths has scored 38 goals in 50 appearances in all competitions, 29 of them in the Scottish Premiership. He is just six goals off equalling the record tally by a Celtic player in one league season with four games left to play. Brian McClair and Henrik Larsson hold the accolade with 35 goals in a top-flight season in Scotland. Griffiths would have to score 15 times in his final four ties of the season to match Larssons club record of 53 goals in all competitions in one season.Jonny Hayes - Aberdeen (winger) Jonny Hayes gave Aberdeen the lead in their top-of-the-table clash with Celtic Aberdeens Premiership title challenge may have ebbed away in recent weeks, but the consistent performances of Jonny Hayes has certainly been a key factor in their push up until now.The Republic of Ireland born winger has laid on 10 assists and scored 5 goals this campaign, including a stunning opener in Aberdeens win over Celtic in February.At 28 Hayes made his international debut as a substitute in Irelands friendly win over Switzerland in March. He then came off the bench again just days later in his countrys draw with Slovakia.Having been a constant in Derek McInnes team he has a real chance of being selected in Martin ONeills squad for the Euros.Kane Hemmings - Dundee (striker) Kane Hemmings netted twice as Dundee eased to a 2-0 victory over St Johnstone The former Rangers front-man is the first half of Dundees representation on this years awards list. For a club who failed in their primary goal (finishing in the top-6 of the Premiership) to get two nominations is an indication of how well these players have performed throughout 2015/16.The link-up shown between Hemmings and fellow nominee Greg Stewart has drawn particular praise.Scoring over twenty goals in any league is enough to spark interest from admiring clubs, but to notch 25 goals and seven assists for a side in the lower half of the Premiership is a great effort. Still only 24, Hemmings joined Dundee for a free from Barnsley after a spell with Cowdenbeath where he and Stewart began their striking relationship.Greg Stewart - Dundee (striker) Greg Stewart (left) holds off Gavin Gunning during Dundee v Dundee Utd Stewart is the only of this years candidates to have been up for the award at last years ceremony. A team-mate of Kane Hemmings at Cowdenbeath, the 26-year-old forward was signed for free by Paul Hartley at the start of last season. With the amount both Stewart and Hemmings have contributed to Dundee, getting both strikers in for free shows Hartley has an eye for a bargain. In his 38 appearances in all competitions this campaign Stewart has scored 11 goals and contributed 14 assists. His trademark cut in from the right on to his favoured left foot has caused defenders problems all season.PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year NominationsJason Cummings - Hibernian (Striker) Hibernians Jason Cummings celebrates after scoring the winning penalty Hibs have failed to win automatic promotion from the Scottish Championship in two attempts, but thats certainly not down to a lack of goals from their main striker. The 20-year-old scored 21 goals and laid on 10 more in all competitions in 2014/15, and has already netted 24 times this term. He went on a scoring spree in October and November, where he notched a goal in seven consecutive games. He has contributed at vital times in Hibs season, most notably against city rivals Hearts on their way to the Scottish Cup final. He may have missed when he attempted to replicate Antonín Panenkas famous penalty in the Scottish Cup semi-final against Dundee United, but thats simply a measure of the confidence he has in his own ability. John McGinn - Hibernian (Midfielder) John McGinn (left) against Christian Eriksen in McGinns debut for Scotland Around the time of last years PFA Scotland awards, the 21-year-old was involved in a training ground accident that saw Steven Thompson throw a spear into his thigh while at St Mirren.Instead of taking crutches to this seasons ceremony, McGinn could be picking up an award.He has thrived at Hibs under Alan Stubbs this season after leaving St Mirren. He has made 45 appearances in all competitions, scoring 4 times and laying on 9 assists. He has been a stalwart in the Scotland Under-21 squad in recent times which, along with his Hibs form, has earned him a senior debut for Gordon Strachan whilst playing in Scotland second division. That night he won the man of the match award for his display against Denmark.While his club have failed to win automatic promotion, McGinn has played his part in getting them to a League Cup final and has a Scottish Cup final against Rangers to look forward to.Barrie McKay - Rangers (Winger) Rangers Barrie McKay scored a great goal for Mark Warburtons side against Celtic As a 21-year-old Rangers fans have known about McKay for a few seasons. He first made his breakthrough in the first team when the club was playing in Scotlands lowest tier.He scored the first league goal for Rangers in the Old Third Division but fell out of favour in the following seasons.After spells on loan at Greenock Morton and Raith Rovers McKay has found a new lease of life under Mark Warburton, nine goals and 12 assists as part of a front three would attest to that.He has helped Rangers win the Championship title convincingly, lifted the Petrofac Training Cup and scored the goal of his life against Old Firm rivals Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final win. Kieran Tierney - Celtic (Defender) Kieran Tierney says his nomination for PFA Scotlands Young Player of the Year award tops off a great season Having only made his senior Celtic debut at the end of the 2014/15 season, the 18-year-old has had a crazy year by his own estimation. His career has progressed since coming on for the last 10 minutes against Dundee on 22 April, 2015 and replacing Emilio Izaguirre as Celtics first choice left-back.A Scotland debut at 18 and being an ever-present in Ronny Deilas ever-changing back-four are just a couple of instances of how he has developed in a short space of time. He may not have scored a senior goal yet but he has eight assists and 13 clean sheets in 30 appearances for club and country. The PFA Scotland Player of the Year is voted for by fellow Premiership professionals. The Young Player of the Year nominees are voted for by players from all four of Scotlands divisions.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins?will return to practice Wednesday after the team designated him as its one player to return from injured reserve this season.Watkins ran routes with receivers during individual drills before spending the final minute of practice open to reporters on an exercise bike, under supervision of the teams strength and conditioning staff.Right now, Im not feeling normal out there, Watkins said after practice. But I think two or three days, Ill start feeling back like myself and moving around. I probably ran 20 something plays today. Ran them pretty fast, moving at a high rate of speed.The Bills placed Watkins on injured reserve Sept. 30 with lingering soreness stemming from offseason surgery to repair a broken bone in his left foot.Trainers have advised Watkins to be safe about how hard he practices as he returns to action.Because Im a guy that I got to do everything full speed, Watkins said. Now I learned like, Hey, man, you aint go to do it full speed. Go out there, run it pretty fast, but you dont got to be like gameday every rep. The plays I thought I had to run full speed, I did. And the plays that I didnt think I need to run full speed, I didnt.Watkins is eligible to play in Sundays game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, although coach Rex Ryan did not commit to Watkins being activated for the contest.I really dont know. I think well know a little more today, Ryan said before Wednesdays practice. Obviously were encouraged by the fact that he has been cleared to participate. It think thats a good sign. He feels good, so well see how it goes. Were gonna run him until his tongue is hanging outt.dddddddddddd Well be smart with him in how many plays we do. Well limit him today, but then well see how he progresses.Is there a chance that he could play? I hope so.Watkins deferred to trainers on whether he will play Sunday.I dont know. They havent told me, Watkins said. I got to go and watch the film and they got to see if Im babying the injury or not. I got to let them deal with that and see what Im going to do.The Bills have until Dec. 14 to add Watkins to their active roster or he will revert to injured reserve for the remainder of the season.Watkins did not rule out an additional surgery on his foot if he does not feel healthy in his return.If I feel like its not healed the right way, just go get surgery and come back the next year and get healed up, he said. But right now, Im feeling pretty good.Watkins last played in a Sept. 15 loss to the New York Jets. He has six catches for 63 yards in two games this season.The Bills are expected to be without leading receiver Robert Woods in Sundays game against Jacksonville. Woods sprained his knee in last Sundays win over Cincinnati.Running back LeSean McCoy participated in Wednesdays practice on a limited basis after undergoing surgery on his left thumb Sunday night and is expected to play against the Jaguars.I think well lean on him, and also well just keep watching him as he goes, Ryan said of McCoy. I think the big thing is making sure his thumb doesnt get infected. Thats the number one thing. If that stays clean, and theres no issue there, I think hes gonna be OK.
