Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson has been named SPFL Championship Manager of the Month for October.
Neilson, who also won the award in August, guided the Tynecastle club to wins over Queen of the South (3-0), Alloa (1-0) and Dumbarton (5-1) before a 1-1 draw in the Edinburgh derby at Easter Road maintained their unbeaten start to the league season.
Hearts go into Saturday's home game with Raith Rovers four points clear of Rangers at the top of the table, with the Ibrox side due to visit for a huge game on November 22.
Neilson said of the award: "It’s good for the players and good for the club. We’ve been working hard and to get a wee bit of praise for it is nice. We’ve got a very tough month and it’s important that we work hard and continue doing what we’re trying to do.”
