Stenhousemuir FC: Naysmith named manager of the month; Yates named player of the month
The Warriors played five times, winning twice against Albion Rovers and Bonnyrigg Rose, drawing twice and losing once against league leaders Dumbarton as they climbed up to third place in the table.
Boss Naysmith said: “At any club, It’s always difficult for the players and backroom staff that are already in place when a manager is changed halfway through the season.

"I must also give a special mention to Brown Ferguson for the help and support he provides on a daily basis.
“The players however are the ones that I should be thanking the most. Their effort and commitment since we came to the club have been different class and without the buy in from the players, I wouldn’t be receiving this award.
Eleven goal hitman Yates added: "I've been happy with my own form and I just need to keep performing and score more goals. I set myself targets at the start of the season to give me something to aim for.

"We know it will be a tough game against East Fife on Saturday but we've done well against them this season.”
