Player of the Month awards this season.
Every footballer affiliated to the
Professional Footballers’ Association Scotland is eligible to vote,

Kevin turned 19 just a few months ago
but this is already the third season that he has been a

Tall, strong and
skilful, Kevin is one of the most promising youngsters in Scottish
football and has become a regular member of Scotland’s under 21

dotted line just minutes after scoring a last minute winner against
Partick Thistle.
