Dundee's James McPake has won manager of the season for the Championship.
The boss sealed promotion for the Dens Park club via the play-offs with a two-legged victory over Kilmarnock.
Dundee finished second behind winners Hearts, managed by Robbie Neilson.
McPake was rewarded with the Glen's Vodka-sponsored gong and he celebrated by praising his backroom staff.
He said: "It’s a collective award for the coaching staff in particular and all the players who have been fantastic in getting us back to the Premiership."
"Dundee really started to get going in the latter half of the season and thoroughly deserved to make it to the Playoff Finals," said Colin Matthews, CEO of Glen’s owner the Loch Lomond Group.
"After bettering Kilmarnock over both legs, the club will unsurprisingly be absolutely thrilled to secure their place in the Scottish Premiership next season.
James McPake has done an outstanding job and is the worthy winner of the 2020/21 Scottish Championship Glen’s Manager of the Season award. Congratulations to him and his squad, who I’m sure are all enjoying a well-earned break."
