Is that Craig Levein signings now ticked over £900k in transfer revenue? https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/st-johnstone/5334125/st-johnstone-craig-levein-legacy/

I think they could push all they want on that one but the club would know it was madness to let McPake go.

A name that just came to me is Aaron Essel. He wasn't fit enough to train with the first team back at the start of December, has any more been said? I have seen snippets of rumours of the outside football stuff, is he just biding his time until his contract is up?

Nice interview with Adam Webb here on the FCU and that the rail seating will be getting put in, he hopes in February but might be after that. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/st-johnstone/5412671/st-johnstone-adam-webb-safe-standing-fair-city-unity

The testimonial year is underway! https://www.perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk/news/article/david-wotherspoon-testimonial-year/ Everyone at the club would like to wish David Wotherspoon every success as he now embarks on his testimonial year. This is a deserved honour for one of the most iconic players to ever pull on the blue and white of St Johnstone Football Club. Former Perth High School student David, who grew up locally in Aberargie and Bridge of Earn, fulfilled a boyhood dream by signing for us in 2013. He gave everything for the club and his name will forever be synonymous with some of the greatest moments in our history. David is one of just three St Johnstone players to lift THREE pieces of major silverware – the Scottish Cup in 2014 and 2021 and the League Cup in 2021. He was a central figure in an unforgettable period of success for the club and, alongside silverware and European adventures, was a role model on and off the field of play. His quality, consistency, professionalism and famous ‘Spoony Chop’ on the pitch were matched by his humility, loyalty and commitment off it. Everyone at the club – and across the Perthshire community – was delighted when he represented Canada at the 2022 World Cup. David’s testimonial year is an opportunity for the St Johnstone family to celebrate an outstanding career at McDiarmid Park and to show appreciation for years of service at the highest level. A dedicated testimonial committee has now been gathered to organise events throughout the year. For now, supporters can follow and engage with the David Wotherspoon testimonial committee on Facebook, where updates, events and announcements will be shared throughout the year. You can find the Facebook page by searching ‘David Wotherspoon Testimonial Year’. All the best, Spoony!

Winner is at home v the winner of Caley v Stenny.

Player of the month for December which is his third award this season.

Spoony scores the winning penalty for Caley to knock Partick out of the challenge cup.

The refs a bit atrocious.

It is happening!

St Johnstone loan goalkeeper Toby Steward will definitely see out the season in Perth. Courier Sport understands that the January deadline for Portsmouth to recall the 20-year-old has now passed. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/st-johnstone/5410844/toby-steward-portsmouth-st-johnstone-goalie-recall

“Maybe some players would have been starting last Tuesday who won’t now start tomorrow night. Because we now have this break in front of us, that has changed my thinking." https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/st-johnstone/5410321/st-johnstone-simo-valakari-ross-county-team-selection Confirmed that Jamie Gullan won't be playing to rest a groin injury.

I have missed you! 🤣
