Albion Rovers ace scoops League Two player of the month award

Albion Rovers winger Charlie Reilly has scooped the cinch League 2 Player of the Month Award for January following an outstanding month for the Cliftonhill club.

Reilly, 21, scored twice in a 4-0 win over Bonnyrigg Rose on January 7, then repeated the feat seven days later in a 4-0 win over Stranraer, taking his tally to 14 so far this season.

It's the second Player of the Month award this season for the former Hamilton Accies and Partick Thistle star, having scooped the gong in November.

The Coatbridge club sit ninth in League Two but are only seven points off the top four, ahead of Saturday's home clash against East Fife.

Reilly said: "I am delighted to pick up the award and it was a good month for me, scoring four times. But it was a real team effort, and we showed just how much of a force we can be in this league.

"To win 4-0 in successive weekends made a bit of history for the club and it was important to start the year well. We believe we are good enough to reach the promotion play-off spots."

Reilly's form this season has attracted interest, but he said: "My focus is on Albion Rovers and helping the team climb the league table."
