Dons boss Jimmy Calderwood has won the SPL manager of the month award for February.

The award is Calderwood's first of the season and is reward for guiding the Reds to full points in the month with victories against Rangers, Hearts and Falkirk.

Jimmy told BBC Sport: "We received a lot of criticism just before Christmas, but the players have taken that on the chin and are now playing really well.

"We have had some big wins away to Hibernian and Hearts and against Rangers at home.

"And, apart from our last game with Falkirk, I have been very happy with the level of performance. So, hopefully, that will continue in what will be a very tough game against Celtic this weekend."

The Dons are unbeaten in the SPL since Boxing Day and sit just one point behind sixth-placed Inverness Caley Thistle, with six games to play before the league split.
