St Johnstone FC Season 2011/12 Head Shots. Pictured, Mark Durnan. Stranraer have opened talks with St Johnstone about extending the loan deal of young McDiarmid Park defender Mark Durnan. The 18-year-old has been a star performer in the Stair Park side after being farmed out earlier this season for a month by Perth boss Derek McInnes. His presence at the back has helped Keith Knox”s team win all the matches he has played in and Knox is keen to have Durnan around for longer. He said: “Mark has done very well since he came here and he seems to be really enjoying playing regularly. “I am sure it will be doing his development a lot of good as well and hopefully we can extend his time with us.”
