Motherwell manager Jim Gannon and striker Lukas Jutkiewicz have been named SPL Manager and Young Player of the Month for October, respectively.

2009-10 SPL Motherwell Jim Gannon - 0

The fourth-placed Steelmen were unbeaten in the SPL last month, taking eight points in total and holding leaders Celtic to a goalless draw at Parkhead.

On-loan Everton forward Jutkiewicz, 20, scored three times in four games, including a brace in the 3-3 draw at St Mirren.

"It's a pleasant surprise," Gannon said. "I don't know how these awards are concluded but to win it is great.

"I'm always a little bit bashful with individual awards because it's really about what everyone has done over the course of the month. I'm really thankful for everyone's efforts."

Jutkiewicz, 20, said: "It's a nice bonus. The goals are the things that get you noticed as a striker but it's been a really good month for me personally and also for the team."
