HIBS boss Neil Lennon has been named Championship manager of the month, and striker Jason Cummings has picked up the player of the month award.
The SPFL announced on Twitter today that the Hibees pair have been acknowledged for their perfect start to the league season.
Former Celtic boss Lennon has led the Scottish Cup holders to five wins from five in the so far, leaving them two points clear at the top of table.
Cummings notched his seventh goal of the season from the penalty spot on Saturday in the Easter Road club's 1-0 away win against Dumbarton.
The 21-year-old now has seven goals in five games for Hibs this season and has also been integral in helping his club secure league wins against Falkirk, Dunfermline, St Mirren and Morton.
The capital club, who were beaten in last season's play-off semi-final by Falkirk, face Ayr United at home this weekend as they continue their bid for a return to the top-flight.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
