Andy Murray receives more recognition
|
Andy Murray has been named BBC Scotland Sports Personality of the Year 2005.
Dunblane teenager Murray won more than 50% of the votes and accepted his award from Hibernian manager Tony Mowbray.
Murray said: "It has been non-stop since Wimbledon: I've played well against Roger Federer, the world number one, and I have beaten Tim Henman.
"I've also reached the final of an ATP tournament. If someone had told me that at the start of the year I'd have been pretty chuffed."
Murray is a Hibernian supporter and Mowbray revealed that the Hibs players are all big admirers of the young tennis talent.
"He is an inspiration to everyone with the way he looks after himself. My young players look up to him in the dressing room," said Mowbray.
