A product of St Mirren's youth system, Stephen McGinn made his debut on New Year's Day 2007 when he came on as a substitute but on January 20th of the same year he made his starting debut against Celtic at Celtic Park, a game where he also scored his first goal for Saints.

Over the last couple of season's Stephen has made himself a regular in the squad thanks to his hard-working shifts in midfield.

He wrote himself into the St Mirren history books last season when he scored the only goal of the game in St Mirren's final ever match against Rangers at the old Love Street stadium.

The youngster also made his mark on the international scene last season by getting capped at Under 21 level for Scotland. He also scored on his debut for the young Scots in the UEFA Under 21 Championship Qualifier against Albania.
