PETER HOUSTON has been named Championship manager of the year ... despite failing to get Falkirk promoted.

The Falkirk boss missed out on promotion through the play-offs after guiding the club to second-place in the Championship ahead of Scottish Cup winners Hibs.

Rangers boss Mark Warburton was named PFA Manager of the Year earlier this month but is pipped by Houston for this award.

Falkirk were defeated 4-1 on aggregate by Kilmarnock in the Premiership play-off final, despite taking a 1-0 lead to Rugby Park from the first leg.

Falkirk finished as runners-up to Rangers in the Championship after losing just three games in the league all season.
