Olid, Cuthbert and Weir on Scottish awards shortlist

Manchester United's Eva Olid, Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert, and Ballon d'Or nominee Caroline Weir are among the nominees for the 2026 Scottish Women's Football Awards. Olid guided Heart of Midlothian to their maiden Scottish Women's Premier League title last season before transferring to England's Women's Super League. The Spanish coach competes for coach of the year against Leanne Crichton, who leads Rangers, currently atop the 2026-27 table, Hibernian's Joelle Murray, and Spartans' Jack Beesley, who steered the team back to the top flight.

Olid secured the PFA Scotland manager of the season accolade in May, with Glasgow City's Nicole Kozlova claiming the player award. Olid faces competition for the SWPL 1 player of the year from Celtic's Saoirse Noonan, Rangers' Katie Wilkinson, and Georgia Timms, who recently moved from Hearts to Ipswich Town. Cuthbert and Weir, who moved to Lyon from Real Madrid recently, along with Brann's Lauren Davidson and Newcastle United's Kathleen McGovern, are also on the shortlist for Scotland international player of the year. The award ceremony will take place at Hampden Park on November 28th.
