Drey Wright makes instant impact at start of his second St Johnstone spell and David Wotherspoon steps up comeback

Drey Wright has big boots to fill in St Johnstone’s right wing-back role after being signed to replace double-winning hero Shaun Rooney.

But, after an injury delay in pre-season and the start of the League Cup group campaign, the former Hibs man has got his second spell at McDiarmid Park off to a very promising start.

The 27-year-old was a shining light in a dominant first half for Saints against Ayr United at the weekend.

Cross after cross being delivered into the box before being substituted at half-time bodes well for the league season about to start.

And manager Callum Davidson is excited by the service that will be provided from the right flank.

“Drey will be a good signing for us and I was delighted with him last weekend,” he said.

“He’s got good energy, he gets up and down the pitch and he has a very good football brain.

“With Drey on one side and Adam Montgomery on the other, we have a lot of attacking threat.”

One player who will further add to Saints’ creative threat, David Wotherspoon, has reached the next stage of the comeback journey.

“Spoony’s doing a lot of work getting fit and now he needs to step it up a bit,” Davidson reported.

“He needs to go into a different kind of movement now – more of the twisting and turning so that’s a different type of training to what he’s been doing.

“It’s still too early to put a timescale on it but hopefully he keeps progressing the way he has been.”
