INVERNESS CALEDONIAN THISTLE manager Richie Foran has been rewarded for his side’s fine form with the Scottish Premiership’s manager-of-the-month award.
Foran, who played for a number of clubs including Shelbourne, Carlisle and Motherwell over the course of his career, has helped the team recover from a poor start that saw them lose their opening three games.
The Highlanders have now gone five games unbeaten and earned draws with top-two sides Celtic and Aberdeen in September.
Inverness are currently eighth in the Scottish Premiership ahead of Friday’s game with Rangers.
In an interview with The42 back in July, the former PFAI Young Player of the Year who was only announced as the club’s new manager following his retirement as a player back in May, said he was looking forward to life in the hotseat.
“I’ll be a no-nonsense manager, I will tell players when they step out of line. I will never lie, I’ll be straight and honest.
“I’ve probably lost out on losing some players this summer for being too honest, by not guaranteeing some players that they will start in the team. Nobody can be guaranteed to start.
“Sometimes you just need a break. Some managers don’t want baggage. When I was at Shels or Carlisle, nobody would have imagined me as a manager.”

Player had heart surgery already. Hopefully will be ok but could be the end of his professional career
Man United have been collapsing and pretty much non responsive so far this year – may be hoping for the match to be abandoned tomorrow. All jokes aside – I hope that player recovers and it may be time to hang up the boots.
@Michael Foley: yeah wasn’t the time for the joke buddy.
@Kevin Dillon: is he a friend of yours? Sorry for your trouble
@Michael Foley: time and a place Micheal. I’ll take the mick out of United all day long everyday but a man was at work and collapsed. Just have a think about that
@mainmsam: I think ye all missed my last sentence.
@Michael Foley: when you’re explaining you’re losing. Not funny..
Well done Mike. You’re way ahead of the crowd with your classiness. You know it so you can be a c@*t.
@Darren Lambe: should’ve waited until they had a few pints :-)
@Michael Foley: what a despicable comment from a horrible man.
@Louise Murphy: which comment exactly? And in this and age how dare you assume I am a man
@Jaffa: I was pointing out the clear and obvious, not explaining.
@mainmsam: respect statsman.
