Aberdeen attacker Luis “Duk” Lopes has won the cinch SPFL Premiership Player of the Month for March.
The Cape Verde international scored three times in two league games last month – a superb run and backheeled finish in the 3-1 win at Dundee United and a double in the 3-0 victory over Hearts at Pittodrie.
Duk said: “I am so pleased to have won this award.
“Since I arrived at the club, I have had fantastic support from the fans and have been able to go out and play my game and score goals.
“When you get the backing that I do from the fans, it gives you a lot more confidence when you go on to the pitch and they help me do unbelievable things.
“I also have fantastic team-mates. It is like a family.
“There is great morale in the dressing room, because we all support each other and this is the most important thing in football.”
Duk is only the second non-Old Firm player to win the top-flight award this season after Hibernian striker Kevin Nisbet came out top in the voting in January.
The award completes a March double for the Dons, with manager Barry Robson having earlier been named Glen’s Manager of the Month.
