Campbells & Hampshire Honoured
- By

Ian Campbell and Steve Hampshire have been named Bell's Manager and Player of the month for January. Former Manager Dick Campbell was named first division manager of the month.
Brechin enjoyed crucial away wins over Stranraer and Morton in the league, also defeating Berwick in the league and cup. Ian takes the honour in his first month in management.
"Hamps" scored seven goals in the month, including a hat-trick against Berwick on new year's day. He followed that up with a double against the same opponents in the cup, and both goals in the 2-0 victory at Cappielow.
Dick moved his Partick team out of the relegation zone in his first month in charge at Firhill. They also ran Hearts close in the Scottish Cup, the Edinburgh club needing a last minute goal in the replay to go through.
City wiil be hoping that the traditional curse of these awards does not strike at Glebe Park, when Arbroath are the visitors.
Ian was pleased with the effort of his players on Saturday at Hibs, but has said that there will be changes for tonight's game. Stuart Callaghan and Steven Ferguson, who were cup-tied at the weekend, are both pressing for inclusion in the team.
