St Johnstone cup hero joins bottom club in England

St Johnstone Scottish Cup hero James Dunne has dropped down to the bottom club in the English football league.

The Portsmouth midfielder has signed for Dagenham & Redbridge, who are at the foot of League Two, on a month’s loan.

A handful of clubs are thought to have expressed an interest in borrowing Dunne, who has featured only once under new Pompey manager Paul Cook, but he will spend the next month with the Daggers.

Dunne’s only appearance this season came as a substitute against Reading in the Capital One Cup in August.

While on loan with Saints he was a first team regular and started the Scottish Cup final win over Dundee United.
