Hibs midfielder John McGinn has won the Player of the Month award for November in the Ladbrokes Championship.

The influential midfielder, who is also Scotland under-21 captain, helped his side to five victories in November in all competitions.

McGinn has become a fans’ favourite since his move to Easter Road in the summer after his contract with St Mirren ended.

He dedicated his award to his team mates and management staff.

There was more recognition for Hibs’ impressive winning streak as Alan Stubbs won the Manager of the Month award.

Speaking to Hibs TV McGinn said: “It’s always nice to be getting personal recognition, but I wouldn’t be getting it if it wasn’t for the help of my team-mates and the back room staff.

“For myself and the gaffer to get recognised personally, then we’ve got to dedicate it to the boys in the dressing room.”
