FALKIRK'S Peter Houston has been named Championship Manager of the Month for February after leading his side into second place.

The Bairns are currently on an eight-match unbeaten run and recorded wins over Dunfermline and Dundee United last month as well as picking up draws against Morton and Dumbarton. 

Houston's side have propelled themselves into second place in the Championship table, six points adrift of leaders Hibernian. 

It is the second time this season the 58-year-old has picked up the monthly award, having also received the accolade last September. 

Falkirk's next game is away to Ayr United on Saturday as they look to continue their push for promotion.
