MacLean is keen to stay put
ST JOHNSTONE forward Steven MacLean is keen to stay on at the club.
The 35-year-old intends to keep on playing after his contract with the Perth men expires at the end of the season.
“I still feel good so want to keep on going. Hopefully, it will be at Saints,” said Steven whose former clubs include Rangers.
Steven has formed a fine partnership up front with Chris Kane and sees a bright future for Kane if he continues to improve.
Steven added: “Chris is a good kid who wants to learn and I feel we complement each other.
“If Chris keeps doing well he can make a good living out of football.
“He wants to learn, he wants to get better and that is great because he can go on to bigger things.
“A player has to realise what he is good at and Chris has shown potential. He is a good player and an instinctive finisher.”
For Saturday’s home game against Motherwell, Saints are minus t he injured Blair Alston, Stefan Scougall, Brian Easton, David McMillan and Callum Hendry.
