Scott Brown has been named as the Scottish Premier League's Player of the Month for January.

The Celtic midfielder featured in all three of his side's league fixtures in January, as the leaders finished the month unbeaten.

Brown was also on target in the 2-0 win over St Mirren on January 21, the first of three goals the 26-year-old has scored this season.

The Scotland international is the second Celtic player to win the award in the 2011/12 season.

Striker Gary Hooper was the league's top player in November, as Neil Lennon's side completed a clean sweep of accolades.

Brown has only been named as the SPL's Player of the Month once previously, winning the award in October 2008.
