Airdrie midfielder joins Coleraine as club pull in another undisclosed fee
The Diamonds have said their farewells to Lewis McGregor
Airdrie have lost a second key player after announcing forward Lewis McGregor has completed a move to Northern Irish outfit Coleraine.
The move comes hot on the heels of Ben Wilson's switch to The New Saints earlier today, in what was a club record fee for the Welsh side.
Twenty-one-year-old McGregor joins for an undisclosed fee but the two sales completed today should give the Diamonds some cash to freshen up their squad for the 2025/26 Championship campaign.
A club statement read: "Lewis McGregor has today completed a move to NIFL Premiership side Coleraine for an undisclosed fee. "Pacey forward McGregor joined Airdrie from Greenock Morton in January 2023, going on to notch 11 goals across 93 appearances for the Diamonds – including a memorable hat-trick in last season's 8-0 victory against East Kilbride. "As he makes the move to the Bannsiders, Lewis leaves with our thanks for his efforts and our warmest wishes for the future."
