Ray McKinnon is the Glen’s Vodka Manager of the Month
[Monday, 11 March 2024 13:00]
The club are delighted to announce that our manager Ray McKinnon has deservedly been awarded the accolade of the Glen’s Vodka SPFL League Two Manager of the Month for February.
It is without deserved a well deserved recognition for the team’s performance under Ray and his staff’s guidance during a four week period when the ‘Loons’ remained unbeaten.
Wins over Spartans at home and Clyde away were recorded alongside drawn fixtures at Dumbarton and East Fife, as well as at home to Peterhead.
No doubt the judging panel also took into account the fact that four of these results were recorded against teams with currently a higher league standing than the Athies.
That undefeated league run which in fact began at home to Elgin in mid January has now to the delight of all connected with the club been extended into March, the excellent victory over Clyde on Saturday past extending that run to nine matches.
The manager though delighted with the recognition of course emphasised on hearing word of the award the part that the playing squad, much more settled over the period, following a horrendous injury and illness crisis at times in the first half of the season have played in the turn around since just before Christmas in the club’s fortunes on the field of play.
Ray also made special mention of the vital roles played by Steve, Mark, Wayne and Lara, his trusty backroom team who all put a power of work in behind the scenes week by week.
Let’s hope the sequence of positive results continues when league leaders Stenhousemuir arrive in town this coming weekend.
