St Johnstone hope to complete the signing of Jacob Butterfield in time for Wednesday night’s clash with Rangers.
Perth boss Callum Davidson confirmed after the 1-0 defeat to Aberdeen that Saints are closing in on a deal to recruit the 31-year-old free agent.
And if clearance comes through in time, the former Derby County and Luton Town man could be in line for an Ibrox debut.

“Hopefully we will get clearance by Monday or Tuesday and he will be involved on Wednesday,” said Davidson.
Butterfield is a vastly experienced central midfielder and has over 300 English Championship games under his belt.
His last team was Melbourne Victory.
