Awards for Motherwell pair

Motherwell manager Jim Gannon and striker Lukas Jutkiewicz have been named Clydesdale Bank Premier League Manager and Young Player of the Month for October, respectively.

The fourth-placed Steelmen were unbeaten in the SPL last month, taking eight points in total and holding leaders Celtic to a goalless draw at Parkhead.

On-loan Everton forward Jutkiewicz, 20, scored three times in four games, including a brace in the 3-3 draw at St Mirren.

"It's a pleasant surprise," Gannon said. "I don't know how these awards are concluded but to win it is great.

"I'm always a little bit bashful with individual awards because it's really about what everyone has done over the course of the month. I'm really thankful for everyone's efforts."

Jutkiewicz, 20, said: "It's a nice bonus. The goals are the things that get you noticed as a striker but it's been a really good month for me personally and also for the team."
