About Paul McGowan (from Wikipedia)
McGowan made his Celtic debut in the 5–0 win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle in September 2007. He scored his first senior goal for Celtic on 7 August 2008 in a pre-season friendly against Manchester City at Celtic Park. Pauk made his Champions League debut against Villareal CF on 10 December 2008, as a 75th minute substitute for Aiden McGeady. Celtic won the match 2–0 but finished bottom of their group.
On 17 December 2009, just over a year to the day of his European debut, McGowan made his Europa League debut in a 3–3 draw away to Rapid Vienna. He made an impact in the 91st minute by scoring his first competitive goal to complete a comeback from 3–0 down to draw 3–3.
McGowan was loaned out to Greenock Morton for the 2006–07 season. He played as a striker for Morton and scored a total of 16 goals in 44 competitive matches. He was the club's top scorer and received a League winners medal as Morton won the Scottish Second Division. He was chosen in the 'Team of the year' in the Second Division and 3rd place in the 'Player of the Year' award. Morton failed to land the player in the summer transfer window when their bid – approaching a six-figure sum – was rejected.
McGowan was loaned out to SPL side Hamilton Academical at the beginning of the January 2009 transfer window, and started his first game with an assist for Chris Swailes in the 1–0 win over Ross County in the Scottish Cup.
Paul was again loaned, this time to Saints, in July 2010 in a season long deal. He scored his first competitive goal for St Mirren in a League Cup match against Ross County.
He joined Saints permanently on June 6th 2011, signing a 2 year contract from Celtic.
Paul won the B&W Army Player of the Year Award for season 2011-2012.
