Motherwell’s Michael Higdon named as SPL Player of the Month for September

Motherwell striker Michael Higdon has been named as the Clydesdale Bank Player of the month for September.

Higdon was in blistering goal-scoring form last month, scoring six goals in the SPL.

Having found the net in the final game of August against St Mirren, Higdon embarked upon a goal-scoring run.

A hat-trick in Motherwell’s 4-1 win against Inverness was followed by a double at Dundee and a further goal in his side’s 3-3 draw at Pittodrie.

Higdon said: "I've been playing well and hopefully that will continue.

"I'm leading the scoring charts with seven goals, I'm very happy with that.

"The team have been playing well, minus the last two games, so all in all it's been a good start.

"I feel like I can score in every game at the moment. I haven't scored in the last two games, which is disappointing, so I'm aiming to put that right tomorrow.

"I've been on the other end of it where I've not been scoring or hitting the stand, so I like it at the moment."

The former Falkirk and St Mirren man, 29, has scored 23 goals in 51 games for the Steelmen and he wants to beat last season's total of 16 goals.

He said: "If I score goals, everyone will be happy," the former Falkirk striker said.

"It's down to me to score goals as the spearhead of the attack. If the fans are happy and I'm happy, we are all happy.

"Things can change quickly in football. Things are going well now, so there is no point dwelling on the negative."

Higdon added: "I just want to beat last year's tally of 16. With the way things are going at the moment, you would think that's more than likely.

"You just want to improve every time you play. The more goals you score, the more confident you feel and the better you are going to play.

"You always strive to beat the last target. If I come up short and we win, then so be it, but I'll just keep trying to do my best."
