Aberdeen: February prizes for Derek McInnes and Adam Rooney

 

Fresh from their League Cup success, Aberdeen are celebrating a double in the SPFL's February awards.

 

Derek McInnes is the Premiership manager of the month, while striker Adam Rooney has collected the top player honours.

 

Rooney, signed from Oldham in January, scored in all three of the Dons' league matches last month.

 

Aberdeen won four of their five games in all competitions in February, including two victories over Celtic.

 

McInnes's side won 2-1 at Celtic Park to set up a Scottish Cup semi-final with St Johnstone and repeated the scoreline at Pittodrie to end the Premiership leader's unbeaten league run.

 

Rooney, who converted the decisive spot-kick in Sunday's penalty shoot-out against Inverness, has netted six goals in nine appearances for the Dons.

Thoroughly deserved, i'm glad it came after the cup final!
