One of the other trialists expected to join the squad at some point during the summer is Hibs striker Sam Morrow. Chances are there will be more, which is surprising considering MacPherson hasn't signed a single player he's had on trial since taking over at the tail end of 2003 - although Richard Brittain and Alex Burke both signed last summer after a spell training with the squad.
meanwhile, it seems that Saints multi-signing exciterment isn't over. There are reports that there will be at least two more arrivals - possibly Stephen Glass and Rab Douglas - before the squad jets off to Italy next weekend.
