Mark Warburton has been named Ladbrokes Championship manager of the month for September.

The Rangers boss takes the prize for the second month in a row after guiding the club to four more league wins as the Glasgow giants maintained their 100% start to the season in the second tier of Scottish football.

During the month they beat Raith Rovers (5-0), Livingston (3-0), Dumbarton (2-1) and Morton (4-0), in what is Warburton's rookie campaign in the Ibrox hot seat.

And there was double joy for Rangers with striker Martyn Waghorn collecting the player of the month award.

Rangers' fine run led to Warburton initially being listed as a potential successor to Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool, but he said: "It's always flattering to anyone to be linked to a job, especially a club of Liverpool's size, but we're at a big club here as well and we have a job of work to do and we are very committed to Rangers.

"We are focused here, we know what we have to do. The targets for the year are very clear. We are a quarter of the way through and so far, so good."
