CELTIC have completed an awards double as Brendan Rodgers and Stuart Armstrong have been named Manager and Player of the Month respectively for December.

It is the third time the Hoops boss has been handed the prize this season after previously winning the gong in August and October.

The Northern Irishman led his side to eight league wins in a row last month, as well as recording a creditable 1-1 draw in their final Champions League group game away to Manchester City.

Former Dundee United midfielder Armstrong has been instrumental in the Bhoys' run, scoring five goals and contributing three assists during the eight-match winning streak. 

A 2-1 comeback win against Rangers at Ibrox on December 31 meant Rodgers' team went into the winter break with a commanding 19-point lead at the top of the Ladbrokes Premiership table.
