St Johnstone are targeting Celtic youth academy product Ross Doohan as they look set to lose goalkeeper and club legend Zander Clark, according to reports.
The stopper helped Saints win an unprecedented League Cup and Scottish Cup double in 2021 and was a key performer for boss Callum Davidson last season when they avoided relegation from Premiership football.
But he is set to move on with his contract expiring and Stoke City are said to be strong favourites for his signature. Aberdeen and Dundee United have also been previously been linked.

It means a replacement will be needed and it's been reported by The Sun that Doohan is one of these keeper targets. The former Scotland youth stopper signed a four-year deal at Parkhead in 2018, with no news on a fresh deal coming forth ahead of his official return from a loan at Tranmere Rovers on June 30th.
This development though states that English League Two club Doncaster Rovers are also interested - but in a loan deal for Doohan.
What deal Saints are chasing is unknown but it would seem to suggest Celtic will be the 24-year-old's parent club in season 2022/23, although no official announcements have been made.
Parkhead boss Ange Postecoglou can call upon Joe Hart, Benjamin Siegrist and Scott Bain as his senior goalkeepers while the likes of Conor Hazard and Vasilis Barkas are out on loan.
