Braga voted Player of the Year

Heart of Midlothian forward Claudio Braga has been named William Hill Premiership Player of the Year for season 2025/26.

The 26-year-old joined the Tynecastle club from Norwegian outfit Aalesunds in the summer and has been a key player for Derek McInnes' side.

Braga has netted 14 goals in 36 Premiership appearances so far this season as Hearts bid to win a first top-flight title since 1959/60.

The leaders hold a one-point advantage over Celtic at the top of the table as they prepare to host Falkirk tomorrow, live on Sky Sports with an 8.00pm kick-off.

Braga said: “I’m honoured to win this award but must thank my coaches and team-mates that have made this possible. I’ve been able to perform consistently because of how good the club were with me when I joined, and I’m thankful to the fans for helping me settle so quickly.”
