PARS boss Jim Jefferies was named as February's SPFL League One manager of the month for February today (Monday).

He was awarded the accolade at the club's Pitreavie training base after steering his side to four league wins out of four last month, conceding just three goals.

3-1 and 4-2 victories away to East Fife and Forfar Athletic were followed by successive 3-0 wins at East End Park over Ayr United and Arbroath to maintain Athletic's push for a League One promotion play-off place.

Dunfermline are second in the table, 20 points clear of fifth placed Stenhousemuir with eight matches remaining, as they seek to secure their place in the top four.
