When St Johnstone sign another goalkeeper, it will set-up the same sort of selection battle as with every other position in Steven MacLean’s team, according to the Perth boss.
MacLean was impressed by former Scotland under-21 international, Ross Sinclair, when he got his first team chance in the last couple of games of the 2022/23 season.
But there will no guarantees given for the campaign ahead.
“We’re in the market for a goalkeeper,” said MacLean, who appointed Craig Hinchliffe as a head of goalkeeping earlier this week.
“It will be a case of whoever we bring in competing with Ross.
“I’ve got every faith in Ross – he did well in the two games he played at the end of last season – but it will be a straight shoot-out.
“Whoever deserves to play, will play.
“It’s no different to anywhere else on the pitch.”
