Elliot is the latest Lion to be awarded monthly accolade

Oct 16 2008 by Alistair Watson, West Lothian Courier

YET another Livingston striker has been rewarded for his rich goalscoring form.

On-loan forward Calum Elliot picked up the Irn-Bru First Division young player of the month award for September after bagging five goals in three league games.

Elliot made an immediate impact following his arrival from Hearts when he scored on his debut in the 2-1 home defeat against Airdrie United.

His next goals contributed greatly to two fine wins for the Lions.

He bagged a double away to Dundee in a 3-0 win at Dens Park and then the 22-year-old followed that up with another two goals in the 3-1 home victory over Partick Thistle.

It is the second consecutive month in which a Livingston player has claimed the award after goal-machine Leigh Griffiths was handed the accolade for his form in August.

Griffiths, who has just returned from injury, was named young player of the month in August for his goalscoring feats, scoring five goals in five league games
