Stevie May will not let award snub affect his focus

St Johnstone striker Stevie May insists he will not be adversely affected by missing out on the young player of the year award.

May has been the standout performer for Saints this season, netting 27 goals in 45 outings, including the semi-final double against Aberdeen.

However, the 21-year-old was overlooked by his fellow professionals during Sunday’s PFA Scotland awards, with Dundee United’s Andy Robertson claiming the prize for best young player in the country.

And while May admits he would have liked to win the award, he is adamant he will not be knocked off his stride by losing out to his cup final rival Robertson.

“It’s not something that is going to affect me,” said the McDiarmid Park star.

“Obviously, it would have been nice to win that accolade, but I won’t let that worry me. We have a lot of important games left and that is what I am looking forward to now.”

May will be pivotal if St Johnstone are to claim the first piece of major silverware in the Perth club’s history.

He acknowledges that Saints are underdogs, but is holding on to “a feeling” the club have had all season that this could be their year.

“There is always a good vibe about the club, but especially now with the cup final coming up,” May said.

“Hopefully, on the day we get a bit of luck. It is hard to put it to the back of your mind. But you need to try to do that because there are still places to fight for in the league.

“We have said from the start that we have a wee feeling it could be our year, but you can’t take anything for granted and you can’t be over-confident, but we will be quietly confident going in as underdogs again.”
