Keogh Signs For Caley

Liam Keogh came to Saints on loan from Celtic just before the transfer deadline last season. He was meant to play most games so as Saints could decide whether to sign him or not, however he got injured after coming on for his debut against Raith Rovers. It was reported that he didn't show up for pre season training, but did feature in the second half of Saints friendly with Norwich City, playing up front with Junior Mendes. He didn't do too badly, but then disappeared again and it seems he was on trial at Caley and has now signed for them. He links up with Paul Ritchie, who Saints rejected as not the sort of striker they were after. Ritchie went on to score about 20 goals last season, whilst Saints top scorers were Brian McGinty and Jose Quitongo on 6. Oh dear. Odds on Keogh doing the same?

Now for a full run down on all the former Saints who are on the move. It's in alphabetical order of surname.

Martin Baker: Released by Kilmarnock

Gary Bowman: On trial with East Stirlingshire, expected to play with them this weekend, and could play against Saints in the league challenge cup. Oh dear.

John Dempster: Released by Stranraer. No club yet.

Stephen Donnachie: No club yet.

Iain Ferguson (someone would moan if I didn't include him): Signed for some mob in Australia after leaving Dunfermline Athletic.

Surprisingly, no former Saints have signed for Airdrie United. I am aware the likes of Stephen McPhee and Graham Fenton aren't there, but they don't have new clubs. If you know of any ex Saints I missed, or any details on these ones I have missed, please e-mail stu@stmirrenfc.net with the info.
