East Fife have scooped a Ladbrokes League 1 awards double for December after winning all four games last month.
New boss Barry Smith, who was in charge for three of those matches, was voted Manager of the Month and skipper Jonathan Page was named Player of the Month.
East Fife beat Brechin City (1-0), Peterhead (2-0), Stenhousemuir (1-0) and leaders Livingston (2-1), with ex-Motherwell man Page part of a defence that conceded only a single goal.
The Bayview club have climbed to sixth place in the table and are only three points outside the play-offs as they prepare to face Airdrieonians at the Excelsior Stadium on Saturday.
Smith told Ladbrokes News: “It is nice to get a little bit of recognition, but having just come into the job, a lot of the credit has to go to the players.
“I knew some of the players and I knew a few of them had played at a higher level, but the work rate and work ethic is something that wins half the battle right away. Their attitude towards training and playing has been excellent since I come in.”
The Ladbrokes monthly awards are voted for by members of the Scottish media, with a Manager and a Player of the Month selected for each of the four divisions.
