LEWIS Morgan has revealed he’s so determined to hit the ground running when he moves to Celtic that he will immediately start training with the Parkhead club once St Mirren’s season is over.

Saints midfielder Morgan grabbed an injury-time equaliser in Andorra to rescue a point for Scot Gemmill’s sde and save them from a humiliating defeat in the Pyrenees Principuality.

Morgan was loaned back to St Mirren after signing for Celtic in January and has helped Jack Ross’ men get to within touching distance of winning the Championship and returning to the top flight.

If Saints do win the title they will end their season several weeks ahead of Celtic, but instead of treating himself to an immediate holiday and an extended break, the 21-year-old will report to Parkhead as soon as St Mirren play their last league game on April 28.

Morgan said: “I speak regularly to the people there and some of the sports scientists were away with the Scotland national team so I saw them.

“All going well the season finishes earlier for us at St Mirren so I can get in training before the end of the season and be assessed before I go away.

“Of course it’s a step up so I know I’m going to have to work hard over the summer to make sure I’m at the levels I want to be when I go in.

“I think it’s important to give myself a wee bit of downtime too. I’ll maybe not give myself as much of that as I would have before.

“I know I’ve got to go in there and impress. I’m sure the boys will be a lot superior physically compared to what most teams in Scotland are,

“I’m going in to embrace it all, hopefully I can work hard over the summer and I go in and hit the ground running.”

Scotland produced a dismal display in Andorra and so nearly came a cropper after Ricard Fernandez had converted a late penalty to give the hosts a shock lead, before Morgan struck a deflected injury-time equaliser.

Gemmill’s side have still to play Holland and Ukraine away, as well as England at home and a rematch against the Andorrans.

Clinching second place which would give them a play-off spot for the Euro U-21 finals looks almost impossible now, but Morgan is convinced Scotland will raise their game again for the remainder of the campaign.

He admitted: “Definitely we should be beating Andorra. I totally understand with the talent we have it was somewhere we wanted to come and get the result.

“For one reason or another we just weren’t at it and didn’t reach the levels we’d set before.

“We only have ourselves to look at but we did get something from the game in the end.

“There were no surprises in the game, we knew what we were coming into it. It was a tough pitch and England struggled when they came here.

“But all credit to Andorra, they did well. 

“They played their game, they were really well organised and we just couldn’t break them down.

“By the same token we could have snatched it at the end. Of course we wanted to get the three points but going down 1-0 it was important we kept digging in and got something from the game.”

Morgan added: “All the games are tough. It’s in our own hands. We have really tough games to come but we showed with the result against Holland at home we can dig out results like that.

“Maybe the good thing is we have to play the teams we’re challenging with. 

“It just means we’re going to have to get results. 

“Ukraine and Holland away isn’t going to be easy then it’s England at home.

“We play Andorra at home too. Teams will drop points in this group, you’ve seen it already. 

“The group is still wide open.”
