Celtic boss Neil Lennon has been named Manager of the Month for February.

Lennon's side won all five of their league matches last month, scoring 18 goals across victories against Hamilton, Motherwell, Hearts, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock.

Celtic are 13 points clear of rivals Rangers as they go in search of their ninth successive Scottish Premiership title.

The league leaders were knocked out of the Europa League at the round of 32 stage by Copenhagen but are through to the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup where they face Aberdeen in April.

McKay scored five times for the Staggies last month, including doubles in the wins over Livingston and Aberdeen.
