Nizzy becomes the first player – outside the Old Firm – to win the award this season following his prolific form in front of goal since the turn of the year.
Nisbet scored six times for the Hibees in January, netting a hat-trick against Motherwell, bagging a brace against Dundee United before adding another in a 6-0 victory against Aberdeen.
After recovering from an ACL injury which saw him miss the majority of 2022, Nisbet has returned in fine form for Hibs and has scored eight goals in eight games in the cinch Premiership!
Speaking to Hibs TV, Nisbet told us how happy he was to win the award.
“I am delighted, especially considering I have been out for a long time with a bad injury. To bounce back and get the award in my first full month coming back is great.
“I have kept myself very professional, throughout my time out with injury. I have worked hard to get back fit and I think that has shown with the way I have come back and scored goals and help the team.
“It has been a long time coming since I scored a hat-trick, so to get one so quickly after an injury was great. They were big goals as well, and got us an important three points – so we were all delighted.
“We are in a really good position now to go and finish in the top four, so we just need to keep picking up results and for me, I am focussed on scoring more goals.”
