King of the SPFL: Dick Campbell Dominates Monthly Awards

Scott Brown and Hamza Igamane both claim their first ever SPFL award

A new feature on Scotland’s Coefficient will summarize the monthly SPFL awards, covering Manager and Player of the Month for all four divisions.

JANUARY AWARDS

PREMIERSHIP MANAGER OF THE MONTH:

NEIL CRITCHLEY wins his first SPFL award after an unbeaten January with Hearts. Since his appointment, he has collected 28 points from 17 games, having taken over when Hearts were bottom of the table with just two points from eight matches. Despite that historically poor start, Critchley has steered Hearts to seventh place, just seven points behind third-placed Dundee United. Only Celtic (45) and Rangers (35) have picked up more points than Hearts since his arrival - and that’s with one fewer game played than both Old Firm clubs. This marks the 13th time a Hearts manager has won an SPFL monthly award, with only three clubs securing more.
