Craig Levein for Manager of the Month

Just a short note. Even though it will probably be a week or so until the announcement is made by the SFA, I would like to put Craig Levein’s name forward as the most deserving candidate for Manager of the Month for October. I have no idea why it takes the SFA so long to name their Player, Young Player and Manager of the Month, but in this case, the jury shouldn’t be out for long. Levein’s Dundee United team is third in the SPL, even on points with Rangers. They were undefeated this month, with wins over Motherwell, Hearts and Rangers, and topping it all off today with a 3-1 win over Hamilton to make it into the semifinals of the league cup. Only Celtic shares the Tangerines’ distinction of an undefeated home record in the SPL, and after the Hoops’ home loss to Hearts in the cup, only Dundee United has an undefeated home record in all competitions.

As for Player of the Month, I’d have to give that to Scott McDonald, Celtic’s ridiculous scoring machine, who scored five goals this month including a hat trick against his old club Motherwell.
