He also saved a penalty and took his place as first choice despite signing on loan as back-up.

McGlynn said of the move: “We are delighted to get PJ signed, he has gained a lot of experience at first team level, granted being out on loan, but these loan deals are the making of players and in particular goalkeepers who are in the spotlight every game they play.

“He has been at Falkirk before and knows the expectations, by all accounts he did very well in that spell, and we look forward to working with him.”

Morrison added: “I really enjoyed my spell here a couple of seasons ago and I’m delighted to be back and making my move permanent. I’m looking forward to getting back to it in a few weeks and meeting everybody. I’m raring to go and I think this year will be a successful one.”

He has also turned for Clyde, Albion Rovers, Cowdenbeath, Ayr United throughout his many loan spells in the lower leagues.
