Keith Lasley says his exit from Motherwell has been emotional - but the new challenge at St Mirren is one that fills him with excitement.
The 42-year-old has been assistant manager in ML1 since bringing his 18-year playing career - 16 of which were in claret and amber - to an end in 2017.
He now heads to Paisley for a new career adventure, taking over from Buddies icon Tony Fitzpatrick as chief operating officer.
