St Johnstone’s Michael O’Halloran has been named the Ladbrokes Premiership Player of the Month for November.
The attacking midfielder had a hand in three of the Perth side's five league goals during the period, scoring once and adding three assists as Saints went unbeaten in their three matches.
O'Halloran has continued his impressive form from last season, when he scored 10 times in 46 appearances, helping St Johnstone to finish fourth and gain entry into the Europa League qualifiers.
St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright has described O'Halloran as the best Scottish player in the SPFL and says he cannot be far away from earning a senior Scotland call-up after representing his country at U17, U19 and U21 level.
This season, O'Halloran has scored five times in 19 games and gained particular attention for his part in St Johnstone's dismantling of Mark Warburton's Rangers in the League Cup in September.
His speed has been used against Premiership teams all season, leading to his manager dubbing him the "fastest man in Scottish football."
