Default Hanging a heavy mirror on a plaster board wall

SWMBO has purchased a 4'X3' oak-framed mirror and wants it to hang on
a plaster board wall. It weighs 20Kg.
The mirror has two mounting brackets on the back which I would
describe as a rectangular steel plate screwed to the back of the
mirror with a D-shaped 'buckle' hanging off it (apologies, can't find
it on Screwfix site to get its proper name). Can I put two large
screws with spring toggles, or similar, into the wall and just suspend
the mirror off those?


we have 2 x 32" LCD TV's hanging off 6 metal Plasterboard screws each (to
the TV mount)
and they've been there for over a year now
no problem :-)
