St Johnstone will take time in appointing Tommy’s successor

-

The Northern Irishman left supporters shocked and saddened when he called time on his joyous seven-year Perth reign - which included a famous Scottish Cup victory - last Saturday morning.

The hunt is now on for a new boss and, while interest in the position has already been high, fans should not expect a speedy process.

Scottish football is currently on hold amid the coronaviru­s outbreak and Saints will be taking their time to make sure they get the appointmen­t right.

head of football operations Kirsten Robertson said:“There is no need for this to be a speedy process as we require clarity on the situation surroundin­g COVID-19 and its impact on football. It’s essential we take time to assess and consider all applicatio­ns with due care and diligence.”
