That was the message from Callum Davidson yesterday as the St Johnstone manager casts a watchful eye over the former Scotland internatio­nal.

Conway (35), most recently of Salford City, has been training with Saints and played in a bounce game between squad members over the weekend.

“The game was a good exercise, played at a really good tempo and I was pleased
