Learnt his trade at Celtic and has developed into a lively customer capable of playing out wide or through the centre of the park
Another Scot in the Swindon first-team line-up, McGovern began his career at Old Firm giants Celtic before joining Livingston after growing frustrated at a lack of first team opportunities at Celtic Park.
The cultured midfielder enjoyed a successful spell under Sturrock at Sheffield Wednesday and played a crucial role in the club’s promotion to the Championship from League One in 2004/05.
He joined Swindon on transfer deadline day in August 2007 and played as both a central and right midfielder during his first season with the club.
