Hearts boss Robbie Neilson has been named as the Premiership manager of the month.

He was handed the accolade from award sponsors Glen’s on Wednesday after going unbeaten in January.

The Tynecastle club recorded wins over Hibs, St Mirren and Aberdeen and drew with St Mirren and Livingston as they cemented their place at third in the table.

They have now picked up 42 points from 25 matches so far this season and are seven points clear of fourth placed Livingston.

He said: “January was a very good month for the club so it’s nice for everyone – the coaching staff, backroom team and the players – to be recognised for that.

“Everybody at Hearts pulls together and the amount of hard work that goes on across the entire football department is incredible so this award is for them.

“The focus now is on making sure that we continue our good form and try and make February an even better month than the last.”
