St Johnstone's Tommy Wright has been named the Scottish Premiership manager of the season for the 2015/16 campaign.

The Northern Irishman was recognised for his success with the McDiarmid Park club in a vote conducted by the league's sponsors Ladbrokes.

Wright led the Perth club to a fourth place finished in the Scottish Premiership for the second successive season, once again performing well above expectations.

The 2015/16 finish means Wright has led St Johnstone into the top half of the Scottish Premiership in each of his three seasons in charge of the club.

Falkirk manager Peter Houston was named Scottish Championship manager of the season last week.
