Hibs’ Paul Heckingbottom has won the Ladbrokes Premiership Manager of the Month award for March.
The former Leeds Utd boss has scooped the gong after an excellent start to life in charge of the Easter Road club, remaining unbeaten in the league with five wins and two draws.
His only loss to date came at home to Celtic in the William Hill Scottish Cup quarter-final.
March consisted of a home draw against Rangers, a 2-0 win over Motherwell and last Friday night’s 2-1 victory away at Livingston, which effectively secured the Hibees' position in the top six.
Paul Heckingbottom will really learn about his Hibs players now they've secured top six
Last night’s 0-0 draw with Kilmarnock, coupled with Aberdeen beating Motherwell, made sure, and left them just a point behind city rivals Hearts.
Qualification for Europe remains possible but is an outside bet at this stage.
The games won’t get any easier for Heckingbottom , with the first of the two remaining Edinburgh derbies to come on Saturday lunchtime at Tynecastle before Hibs embark on their post-split fixtures.
