Allan Johnston wins Scotland's Manager of the Year award

Queen of the South boss Allan Johnston has been named the PFA Scotland Manager of the Year.

Johnston, who guided his team to the Second Division title, pipped Celtic's Neil Lennon, Inverness's Terry Butcher and Motherwell's Stuart McCall to the award.

Queen of the South were the first team in Britain to win their league and also won the Ramsdens Cup.

"I was delighted to be nominated but to win it is a thrill," said Johnston.

"It is unbelievable. When you look at the other guys - Neil Lennon and his exploits in the Champions League - it is amazing. Terry Butcher and Stuart McCall have had fantastic seasons as well so even to be mentioned along with these guys, I was honoured."

Johnston took over at Queen of the South in May 2012 after their relegation to the third tier.

This surprises me. He's not even good enough to earn a place in Lenny's backroom staff. I'm boycotting this thread.

Here's a useless bit of information for you all, My maw went to school with Allan Johnston. Don't think she pumped him though, maybe just a gammy.

Walter Smith won the league and Gordon Strapon won manager of the year a few years ago.

I was positive that happened but when I looked it up to find the year it said another manager won altogether, I'm sure it was the season he stopped 4iar/began 3iar, 09/10. To be fair I'm sure they handed it out before the season was finished which I've always thought was stupid and that backed it up to some extent.
