Biography

A talented wee winger, Jimmy came from Junior outfit Bellshill Athletic, when Tommy Gemmill signed him in 1978.

Previously, he had been with Celtic as a youth player and Queen of the South.

Jimmy made his debut against Airdrie in the 1978-79 campaign and would also score his first goal for us in the same game.

All told, he made a total of one hundred and twenty-eight appearances for the club, scoring thirteen goals.

His last appearance came against Kilmarnock at Dens Park just after the turn of the year in season 1982-83.

He was then loaned to Hamilton and sold to Ayr United for £5000 at the end of the season.

After three seasons at Somerset Park, he moved on to Clyde in 1986 where he spent two more seasons in the senior ranks.
