Dumbarton have tied up one of the club's most important signings of the summer after securing right back Paul McGinn on a permanent deal while also signing up promising youngsters Ally McKeracher and Joe Coleman. Last month McGinn turned down a one year contract offer at St Mirren in favour of searching for regular first team football.

His decision to leave St Mirren Park alerted Ian Murray and after a stunning loan spell at the Rock last season, the 22-year-old has now agreed a deal with the Sons until next summer.
