GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST has been named as Premiership Glen's Manager of the Month for December.
The month marked the Dutchman's first in full charge of Rangers after joining mid-way through November.
He led the Ibrox side to an impressive run of six wins.
These came against Hibs, Dundee, Hearts, St Johnstone, Dundee United and St Mirren.
The champions sit six points clear of city rivals Celtic at the summit of the Premiership.
van Bronckhorst commented: "I think the start of my career at Rangers has been very positive, and I am very proud to win this award, but I think what is behind the award is much more important.
"It means we have done a great job and my staff who have come with me and the staff who are already here have helped me a lot and have worked hard to achieve the wins we have had.

"Also, the players - I thank them as well for all the work they have done in the last weeks and month, and that is why I have got this award. It means you are doing a good job and gives me more motivation to kick-on."
Colin Matthews, CEO of Glen’s owner the Loch Lomond Group, said: “Congratulations to Giovanni van Bronckhorst on winning the Glen’s Manager of the Month award just six weeks into the role. Rangers’ performance throughout December proved that the new manager has made his mark, arguably getting back to their best while taking on his new ideas for play.
"The squad has shown renewed hunger, often continuing to search for more goals despite their comfortable advantage, reflecting the Dutchman’s passion for the game. I hope to see this continue when the Light Blues return from their well-earned winter break.”
