Former Rangers and St Mirren midfielder joins Airdrie

Airdrieonians have announed the signing of former Rangers youth Elliot Dunlop.

The 17-year-old attacking midfielder has joined the Championship side after leaving Premiership outfit St Mirren last season.

Dunlop trained with the first team during Saturday's opening pre-season training session and has now put pen to paper on a deal at New Broomfield.

A statement from Airdrie read: "We are pleased to announce the signing of highly-rated youngster Elliot Dunlop, who joins after leaving St Mirren last season.

"The former Rangers youth, widely praised for his technical ability, is an attacking midfielder who can play centrally or on either flank.

"Manager Rhys McCabe was delighted to capture the player’s signature after he had consistently impressed in training at the tail end of last season, and we look forward to seeing the 17-year-old pushing for first-team football."

Dunlop is the club's second summer signing, following teh arrival of Bulgarian striker Nikolay Todorov last week.
