Barr has been in superb form for Falkirk

Falkirk defender Darren Barr has been named the Clydesdale Bank Premier League Player of the Month for March.

The 23-year-old has been a rock at the heart of a stingy Bairns rearguard, with John Hughes' side not conceding a goal in four SPL matches last month.

"I'm very surprised to get this award," Barr told BBC Sport.

"I think it's mostly down to the team as well, so I need to give the boys a wee bit of praise as well. It's good to be mentioned."

Falkirk skipper Barr has enjoyed a good season and has won four BBC Radio Scotland man-of-the-match awards.

Three 0-0 draws and a 1-0 win at Inverness have pushed Falkirk into sixth place in the table.

A win at Aberdeen on Monday would ensure they play their remaining fixtures in the SPL's top half.
