Who's the last player we signed directly from St Mirren :ponder:
Dennis Connaghan is the last one that springs to mind. Early 70s though. :rubeyes:
Could be right enough :thumbsup:

^Re Mcgarvey, he came via Liverpool.

We signed Sammy Wilson - first scorer in the 7-1 game :worthy: - on a free from St Mirren. :rubeyes:

I can just imagine this place if we signed a free from St Mirren these days! :lol:

Another example of how transfer fees have rocketed almost everywhere but Scotland. If the £300,000 fee is correct then we've paid St Mirren £160,000 less than the sum they received from Aberdeen for Ricky Gillies 20 years ago.

I'll repeat that my St Mirren supporting niece and nephew both rave about this boy .. :thumbsup:

.I have nicked that upgrade picture for use on Facebook though
I live in Paisley, and three (that I know) of my neighbours are season ticket holders at the Buddies. Unanimously say he is the best they have had for years. Incidentally, also all delighted he is signing for us rather than the tribute act.

The boy looks a talent and seems confident and level headed. Looking forward to him joining up with the squad in the summer.

Lewis Morgan is now the next project for Rodgers.

The winger, 21, will stay at St Mirren on loan until the end of the season, before joining up with Celts in the summer.

For the Parkhead boss there’s enormous potential in Morgan he wants to see shine. Just like it did with Coutinho.

Rodgers added: “Lewis was a boy who really took my eye when we played St Mirren.

“Even though we won the game 4-1, I liked how direct he was and his quality, he was a handful on the day.

“We kept an eye on him from then. We watched him for Scotland Under-21s against Holland.

“Lewis was up against a really physical player that night.

“It was interesting to see if he could cope with that, and he did.

“He’s a boy who’s hungry. He has gone there with Jack Ross and done very well.

“I spoke to Jack at length about Lewis, and then I was given permission to speak to the player at length. He is a very humble boy, he knows where he’s at in his career.

“It is hard to tell, when they come to a big club. You come to Celtic, and it’s hard for lots of players. So if he can cope with that level of scrutiny and pressure and expectations then he could be a wonderful player.

“He has the talent, he’s direct, he’s quick, he can score goals and has two great feet.

“So we will look forward to the chance to work with him when he comes in the summer.

“As a coach you look at the player and do your homework on him, try to find out all the different aspects of his life.

“I like players who are hungry and want to learn. I tend to bring the right types of character into the squad, and everything I had heard about Morgan was very good as a boy.

“I had a real nice chat with Lewis. You can’t always go on what they are like, but the first impression is important.

“I’ve spoken to players who looked me in the eye for three hours and never blinked.

“You think ‘Not what you’d want them to be’. Others tell you what you want to hear.

“But I’ve been really impressed with Lewis, and hopefully there’s a great platform for him to go on finish the season with St Mirren.”

Signing young Scots is something Rodgers believes is a must at Celtic.

He said: “That’s vital, everybody has to get an opportunity.

“If I was working in Spain my core would be Spanish. In Scotland my core will always be Scottish.”
