Docherty wins Glen’s Vodka Manager of the Month.

Tony Docherty has won the Glen’s Vodka Scottish Premiership Manager of the Month for March.

In the month of March Dundee played three league matches, winning two and drawing once.

March started with a 2-2 draw at home to Kilmarnock, before a mid-week win at home to Aberdeen, with The Dee winning 1-0. The month finished with a 1-2 away win against St Johnstone thanks to goals from Lyall Cameron and Amadou Bakayoko.

Speaking after receiving his award Tony Docherty said, “It feels very humbling and I am very grateful to receive this award. Although this has been awarded to me, I would attribute this award to the hard-working coaching staff that I’ve got here at the club, Stuart Taylor, Scott Paterson, Alan Combe, Matty Castle, Robert Kielty, Scott Robertson and the medical team. They work hard every day to allow me to manage the way I want to manage and I am thankful to all of them for their help. It’s also extremely important to highlight the players. March started just after we had lost heavily to Celtic away from home but I said we wouldn’t be defined by that result and that what we needed was a reaction and the players reacted brilliantly in March. It’s a great testament to the players for the resilience they have shown and the performances they have put in. I also want to say thank you to Gordan Strachan for his technical support and John Nelms for his support as well.”

Everyone at Dundee Football Club would like to congratulate Tony and his coaching staff for this award.
