"To capture a player of Gregg Wylde's talent is a fantastic bit of business for the football club, especially given the interest that was shown in him by a number of other Premier League teams,” said Bolton manager Owen Coyle, after Wylde joined the Trotters.  

“He is young, quick and exciting, and has played at a very high level with Rangers, both domestically and in Europe. Gregg is a creator and scorer of goals. We are thrilled to have him on board and everyone is looking forward to working with him."

Former Rangers boss Ally McCoist, on giving 19-year-old Gregg as start against PSV Eindhoven: “I thought he was terrific against PSV and we all loved it. He's still got a long way to go but it was encouraging. He's done well when he's come on; like a lot of young ones he's erratic, but he didn't look like that at Ibrox. I thought his delivery was first class.”

St Mirren defender Marc McAusland, reacting to the signing of Wylde:

“It is a great signing for us and one that has really given the club a lift. 

"You look at the pedigree Gregg has and the clubs he has played for, this is quite a coup for St Mirren to have snapped him up. 

"We have lacked a bit of a cutting edge in recent weeks but Gregg can really change all of that. He can get past a man and has a great delivery. 

"At this stage in the season to be getting a player of Gregg's quality in is huge for us.”
