JACK ROSS is ready to raid St Mirren and take midfielder Kyle Magennis with him to Sunderland. Ross was named Black Cats boss yesterday on a two-year contract.

After swapping the Premiership new boys for a fresh challenge in English League One, one of his first aims is to sign Magennis.

The 19-year-old is valued at close to £1million and the mooted deal could smash the £850,000 club record fee that St Mirren received when they sold Ian Ferguson to Rangers in 1988.

Magennis helped the Buddies cruise to the Championship title this season and has been monitored by a number of English clubs in recent months.

Ross rated the teenager as the most exciting of his Paisley starlets, ahead even of Lewis Morgan, who won a move to Celtic and is in the current Scotland squad.

Ross, who has taken his assistant James Fowler with him to Sunderland, said: “It has not been an easy decision to leave a club and a job which I loved, but I have been offered an exciting career opportunity.

Aye, no press conference yet because the lad is finishing his holiday but he's happy to stop and chat to a shite newspaper about his transfer plans. Somehow I think they're guessing

Well, we'll know in the next 24 hours if there's a slapdown tweet from the Don :)
