The midfielder who helped to raise over £6,000 from his Carlisle to Glasgow bike ride is also impressed with new signing Fraser Fyvie.
The 19 year old is another player to have been tempted down from the SPL and McArthur added: “It’s great to have another Scot on board, and good for the club in particular to bring in players of his quality.
