We are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Kerr McInroy, who joins on loan from Celtic until January.

The 21-year-old midfielder has been with the Parkhead club since the age of 12, captaining the reserve side and appearing for Scotland at U17, U19 and U21 levels.

Having gained first-team experience on loan at Dunfermline Athletic last season, we are delighted to welcome Kerr to the Penny Cars Stadium.

He told airdriefc.com: “I’m delighted to be here. I heard yesterday morning that Airdrie were keen to get me in so I’m in training tonight and looking forward to the game on Saturday.”

“I like to get on the ball and try to make things happen, and hopefully I can get a couple of goals.”

Manager Ian Murray added: “I’m really grateful first and foremost to our own board of directors for getting it over the line, and also to Celtic, to get a really good player in.

“Kerr’s at Celtic training with the first team every day, he’s in good physical condition and he’s match-ready.

“We hope to improve him like every loan player we bring in, the main aim is to improve the team and improve the individual. The deal is until January but hopefully we can extend that if all parties are good with that.”
