Steven Gerrard has been named as Premiership manager of the month for December.

In a busy month, Rangers won five of their six league matches, beating Celtic, Kilmarnock, Hibs, Motherwell and Hearts as well as drawing with Aberdeen.

The 2-1 win over rivals Celtic in the last league match of the year took Rangers to just two points off top spot with a game in hand over Neil Lennon’s side.

Rangers are currently at their winter training camp in Dubai and return to action in the Scottish Cup against Stranraer on January 17.
