Strachan scoops writers' award

Gordon Strachan has been voted Tennent’s manager of the year by the Scottish Football Writers’ Association.

The Celtic boss has led the club to the Bank of Scotland Premier League title in record time and the CIS Insurance Cup in his first season in charge at Parkhead.

Strachan just pipped Kilmarnock manager Jim Jefferies in the tightest vote ever for the prestigious prize.

SFWA president Jim Black said: “It was a desperately close race between Gordon Strachan and Jim Jefferies and it was highly appropriate that was the case.

“While Gordon has the silverware, Jim has done an incredible job under very trying circumstances.

“Given Celtic’s trophy success it can’t be disputed that Gordon is the worthy winner.”

Strachan will be presented with the award at the Glasgow Thistle Hotel on April 23.
