Livingston boss David Martindale and midfielder Scott Robinson have been named Premiership manager and player of the month.

Martindale’s side were undefeated throughout January, recording home and away draws with Celtic and league victories over Hibs, Ross County, Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, as well as reaching the League Cup final.

Robinson, meanwhile, has become the first Livingston player to get the monthly top-flight honour for 16 years.

Martindale also won the manager’s award in December, auctioning off his trophy to raise £3500 for Kick Mental Health.

He said: “I have to thank everyone who has voted for me to receive this award again, it goes without saying, there is no chance I would be picking this award up if it wasn’t for the players and staff at the club.

“We are all in this together and I think that has been shining through over the last 14/15 games. A big thanks to you all.”
