St Johnstone’s hopes of securing defender Adam Montgomery on a second loan from Celtic are under threat from England.
As reported in the Daily Record, former Hoops legend, Scott Brown, is keen to take Montgomery to Fleetwood Town, where ex-Saint Shaun Rooney is a regular on the opposite side of the pitch.
And Courier Sport understands there are also Championship clubs down south who have Montgomery on their radar.
The Scotland under-21 international was a first team regular at McDiarmid Park last season.
Perth boss, Steven MacLean, would like to bring him back but Celtic may decide that testing Montgomery in England is a better career step for the attacking full-back.
A decision isn’t imminent as there will be a new manager at Parkhead, likely to be Brendan Rodgers, and he will want to assess his squad before signing off loan exits.
