The only lower league candidate for the award is McGlynn. Tha Falkirk manager has overseen a so-far unbeaten league campaign with the Bairns to be promoted to the Championship as League One champions this season.
Falkirk have won 27 matches and drawn eight in their 35 league outings to date this term.
Billy Brown, the chairman of the Managers and Coaches Association, said: āAll three SPFL managers deserve great credit for the jobs theyāve done with the resources at their disposal. Derek won the award a decade ago and seems to be reinvigorated at Kilmarnock, heās had a terrific season.
āIāve known John for a long time, firstly as a coach at Musselburgh Windsor before Jim Jefferies and I took him to Hearts all those years ago. Iām really chuffed at what heās done with Falkirk, itās amazing to go through nearly an entire season unbeaten.
āFor Tony in his first job as a manager to get Dundee into the top six, he should be really proud. I watched them several times in person this season and theyāve been great to watch. I couldnāt argue with whoever wins the award.ā
