Former Coventry City midfielder Adam Barton has been named the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership Player of the Month for October.
Barton has been playing at centre half for Partick Thistle and told his club's website: "Obviously I’m absolutely delighted and it is a fantastic honour to be named Player of the Month after my first full month playing in the league.
“I think it just goes to show that you don’t need to be at Rangers or Celtic to win these kinds of things and that if you work hard on and off the pitch then you will be rewarded. I must thank the supporters too as they have been wonderful with me since I first arrived.
“I didn’t expect it to be fair but, as I say, it’s fantastic to receive it. It’s all about the team though and now my focus will turn to the next game and making sure my performances remain at a high level to hopefully help us take three points when we travel to Motherwell next week.”
