Callum Davidson is “gutted” for Zander Clark that he is still without a club.
But the St Johnstone boss is confident his double-winning goalkeeper will get the big move he craves.
Clark made it clear months ago that he wouldn’t be accepting Saints’ offer of a contract extension and left McDiarmid Park after helping to keep them in the Premiership.
Despite the fact he has been one of the country’s best keepers for several seasons – and earned a place in Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad – a transfer hasn’t yet transpired.
It’s come as a shock to many in football, Davidson included.
“It’s a difficult one for Zander,” he said.
“I thought he was outstanding for us.

“He told us he wanted to find something else but his attitude remained exemplary.
“His performance levels – especially in big games – were consistently superb.
“You just need to watch how he played in the cup finals and against Galatasaray.
“I’m surprised that he hasn’t got a club yet and a bit gutted for him.
“Sometimes you have to take a little gamble to get the move you want.
“There’s still a couple of weeks left and hopefully it will still pay off for him.
“I’d recommend Zander to anyone who wants to speak to me – he’s a great size, has stature and all the other qualities you want in a top goalie.”
