Raith Rovers boss Ian Murray reacts to keeper Kevin Dabrowski not making Team of the Year

Despite the Kirkcaldy side’s stunning season in Scotland’s second tier, only their midfielder Sam Stanton has made it into the league’s top 11 players, with Queen’s Park keeper Calum Ferrie preferred to Polish stopper Dabrowski, 25.

“Kevin has done brilliantly well this season,” Murray told Raith TV. “Some of his saves in games have been top, top quality.

"I’m happy to say that in my opinion Kevin should be in the Team of the Year. I can’t for the life of me think why he’s not. He’s just been that good for us. So we have a chance here with Kevin.

"For a young goalkeeper to come in and effectively have his first season as a real number one, to be at the top end of the Championship and have a little bit of pressure on him, playing in front of big crowds and producing fantastic moments for us, like any young player he’s going to make mistakes.

"And when you’re a goalie at any age or any calibre and you make a mistake, it tends to be a goal and people can have a go at you.

"But he’s a very honest player, a very honest guy, great character and he’s infectious as we’ve seen already this season.

"We’ve got a young goalie who’s hungry to do well, he’s got the right attitude and the right people behind him and we’re trying to help him as much as we can.”

In a list dominated by players from champions Dundee United, the 2023-24 PFA Scotland Championship Team of the Year is: Calum Ferrie (Queen’s Park); Jack McMillan (Partick Thistle), Kevin Holt (Dundee United), Scott McMann (Dundee United), Josh Edwards (Dunfermline); Adam Frizzell (Airdrieonians), Craig Sibbald (Dundee United), Sam Stanton (Raith Rovers); Brian Graham (Partick Thistle), Louis Moult (Dundee United), Ruari Paton (Queen’s Park).
