Rocco Quinn has hailed Alex Rae’s powers of persuasion after agreeing to join St Mirren’s fight for survival in the Championship.
The midfielder has joined Saints until the end of the season after his release from Ross County.
The former Celtic youngster has also had spells with Kilmarnock, St Johnstone, Livingston and Queen of the South before joining the Staggies in 2011.
Quinn – a former Scotland under-21 cap – made 123 appearances for the Dingwall side, scoring 12 goals in the process.
He will go straight into the Buddies squad for today’s Championship match with Raith Rovers.
Quinn said yesterday: “It all happened pretty quick. I got a phone call from my agent a couple of days ago saying St Mirren were interested and I’m here today signing.
“Speaking to the manager here and his plans for the club, the way he wants to take the club forward, I think that was a big factor in it. There were a few things he said that made me quite interested and excited about coming here.
“He seems to have a good plan in place and there are a lot of good players at this club, so I’m just happy to be here and looking forward to getting started.
“I’ll bring experience and I’ll be giving nothing less than 100% for this club and these supporters. I’ll be looking to bring a lot to the table.”
