Livingston beat Hamilton 1-0 as part of their unbeaten September

Livingston went on to draw their opening October fixture 1-1 at Motherwell, meaning the club have lost just once in their opening eight league games, which was a 3-1 defeat at Celtic on the first day of the season.

The accolade marks a superb start to Holt's tenure at Almondvale Stadium, with the former Scotland international having only replaced Kenny Miller in late August.
