Lewis Morgan’s St Mirren career is coming to an end ahead of his move to Celtic.
St Mirren boss Jack Ross has told The Herald that he felt Lewis Morgan received the ovation he deserved in his final home game for the club.
The Buddies have coasted to the Scottish Championship title, and were given a title celebration on Saturday afternoon as they took on Greenock Morton.
St Mirren kept up their high standards as Danny Mullen scored the opener, and whilst Michael Doyle equalised for the visitors, Morgan grabbed the winner in a fitting end.
Morgan, 21, has hit 18 goals in 41 games for St Mirren this season, and has now played his final home game for the club as he prepares to start his Celtic career.
The playmaker signed for Celtic in January before being loaned back to St Mirren for the rest of the season, and he has played a huge part in their promotion.
As he was substituted on Saturday, St Mirren fans gave Morgan a huge standing ovation, and must now face up to going up against Morgan next season.
After the game, Ross told The Herald that he wanted Morgan to get the adulation he deserved, and noted that he will be hard to replace as he prepares to start his Celtic career.
“I always wanted to allow Lewis to come off near the end to get the adulation of the crowd,” said Ross. “And his personal contribution made it even more appropriate and reminded me how difficult it’s going to be to replace him. That ovation he received was well deserved for what he has done for the club in my time,” he added.
