The Scotsman has been nominated for his stunning 20-yard strike in the 5-3 defeat at Milton Keynes Dons, with the winner being decided by a public vote.

Former Rangers player Wylde is up against Milton Keynes Dons Chuks Aneke’s piledriver against Peterborough United, and also Scunthorpe United Josh Morris’s 25-yard curler against the Cobblers at Sixfields.

The official descriptions of the three nominated goals are as follows:

Chuks Aneke – Peterborough United v MK DONS – 28th January: Collecting the ball outside the box, Aneke played a one-two with Paul Downing, strode on to the return pass and walloped a rasping drive into the top corner.

Josh Morris – SCUNTHORPE UNITED v Northampton Town – 14th January: On a Scunthorpe counter-attack, Morris knew exactly what to do. He picked up the ball in space, slipped it on to his left foot and curled home an unstoppable shot.

Gregg Wylde – MK Dons v NORTHAMPTON TOWN – 21st January: A case of adjusting your body to a dropping ball. A Northampton free-kick was cleared to Wylde, who chested it down beautifully before timing a sweet half-volley.
