"He's working hard, his attitude has been really well so he's a positive factor for the team."

On being named manager of the month, he added: "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."
