Alex Rae..Manager of the Month for November...


Dundee's Alex Rae is the First Division's Irn-Bru Phenomenal manager of the month for November. Rae picked up the award after closing in to just three points behind league leaders Hamilton Accies. The Dens Park club pipped Tayside rivals St Johnstone with a last-minute winner, lost to Clyde and beat the Accies last month. And Rae's side carried on their good form with a 1-0 success at Dunfermline last weekend. Meanwhile, Rae will serve a two-match touchline suspension as a result of misconduct during the match against Hamilton. And he is facing the prospect of a further four-match ban after being reported for using "offensive, insulting an abusive language" to an assistant referee at Dunfermline. Rae has until 12 December to launch an appeal with the Scottish Football Association against the charge.
