ST JOHNSTONE have tabled a bid to bring Livingston winger Alan Forrest to McDiarmid Park this January.
The former Ayr United man is out of contract in the summer and Saints are keen to land him now.
Herald and Times Sport understand that an upfront fee has been put forward to David Martindale’s side as Callum Davidson aims to bolster his squad.
Forrest, the younger brother of Celtic star James, has been in and out of the Livi starting XI this season.
The 25-year-old has netted twice and assisted twice in 22 games so far this term and he was a second-half substitute as Livingston defeated Dundee last night.
St Johnstone could land Forrest on a free at the end of the season, but manager Davidson is keen to bring him to McDiarmid Park now to help with the Perth club’s survival bid.
A toothless performance at Tynecastle on Tuesday saw Saints slump to a ninth successive defeat in all competitions and they are now seven points behind tenth-placed Ross County.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
