Aberdeen attacker Connor McLennan has joined St Johnstone on a season-long loan deal.
The 22 year-old becomes the second Don to move on deadline day following David Bates’ transfer to Belgian club Mechelen.
McLennan, a graduate of the Dons’ youth academy, has been capped at Scotland under-21 level.
He made his first team debut for the club in April 2016 and has scored eight goals in 108 appearances.
McLennan, who will join his new team-mates for training tomorrow, is looking forward to playing again after falling down the pecking order at Pittodrie this season.

He told the St Johnstone website: “It’s great to get this move over the line.
“My aim is to get into the manager’s first team plans as soon as possible and play a part in helping us win as many games as we can.
“I will need to show the manager and the coaching staff what I can do and I will work hard in training every day.
“I know there are some excellent players at St Johnstone and I will need to perform to a high standard to be involved in games.
“But I feel I can make a positive impact and that’s what I want to do.
“Andy Considine has spoken very highly of the set-up at St Johnstone and that the dressing-room has a high level of professionalism and lots of quality.
“They are also a good bunch of lads and I’m looking forward to meeting them and training with them.”
