PARS duo Faissal El Bakhtaoui and Joe Cardle have been nominated for PFA Scotland's League One player of the year award.

Dunfermline's leading marksmen have been recognised for outstanding individual campaigns by being put forward by their fellow professionals for the accolade.

They are joined on the four-man shortlist by Peterhead striker Rory McAllister and Cowdenbeath hitman Greig Spence.

El Bakhtaoui has been Athletic's star man in their surge to the League One championship, hitting 30 goals in all competitions, including a hat-trick in the decisive game with Brechin City.

Cardle, who rejoined the Pars last summer from Ross County, has fired 13 league goals as Allan Johnston's team secured their return to the Championship after three seasons in the third tier.
