Lewis Morgan has praised the newly appointed Hibernian manager Jack Ross for having a big impact on the winger’s career.
The pair worked together during their time at St Mirren, and according to the Daily Record, Morgan believes Ross had a huge influence on his career and claimed he will be a success at Easter Road.
I texted the manager to congratulate him. It’s a great appointment for Hibs. I obviously have worked with him before and know him really well. He’s a top manager and an excellent coach. He was brilliant with me. I think he’s the same with all of his players, he just managed to give them an extra yard.
He was massive for me. I was playing regularly for St Mirren when he arrived but he helped bring my game on. It was really that last season under him where I really kicked on and caught people’s eyes. I owe him a lot.
READ CELTIC VERDICT
Morgan certainly flourished under Ross, with his form for the Buddies earning him his move to Celtic and helping Saints gain promotion back to the top flight.
Despite a tough spell with Sunderland, Ross certainly appears to be a fine appointment for Hibs, and it will be intriguing to see how the former Black Cats boss does at Easter Road.
As for Morgan, he has struggled to make a real impact at Celtic but injuries to Mohamed Elyounoussi and Mikey Johnston could see the winger given another opportunity to impress against Livingston following the international break.
