Craig Levein has been voted the Ladbrokes Premiership manager of the month for August.

The Gorgie gaffer picked up the gong this morning after leading the Jambos through last month’s league campaign unbeaten; a feat that has continued into September.

Hearts kicked off the league season in style with a commanding 4-1 win at Hamilton Accies, before putting champions Celtic to the sword at Tynecastle.

Another win was on the cards before the month was out as the men in maroon took all three points at Rugby Park.

Since then Hearts have continued their 100% start to the Premiership season with victories against St Mirren and Motherwell.

Emerging top of their Betfred Cup group, and booking a place in the quarter-finals with a win at Dunfermline, Craig’s team has gone ten games unbeaten in all competitions.
