Stephen Frail jokes that new lockers are needed at Fir Park to cope with the influx of summer signings – but he is delighted with the quality they’ve brought in.
Loan signings Andy Halliday and Sam Nicholson became permanent, and were added to by goalkeeper Krisztian Hegyi, left-back Steve Seddon, right-backs Johnny Koutroumbis and Marvin Kaleta (loan from Wolves), defenders Kofi Balmer and Liam Gordon, midfielders Tom Sparrow, Ross Callachan, wingers Tawanda Maswanhise and Jair Tavares (loan from Hibs) and strikers Zach Robinson, Filip Stuperavic, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos, Tony Watt (loan from Dundee Utd) and Jack Vale, on loan from Blackburn Rovers.
That’s an impressive collection of new faces, though injury has struck down many of them, and Frail hopes to see them all back in action soon.
He said: “We’re having to put new lockers in the dressing room! It’s good to see the new faces coming in and for the ones that are here that the manager could rely on week in, week out last season, it’s good for them as well, it’s more shoulders to the wheel. “It’s not just numbers, because you could bring in 30 players – it’s the quality.
