Callum Davidson in Perth return

FORMER Scotland international Callum Davidson yesterday turned back the clock to seal a return to his first club.

With Danny Grainger having joined Hearts, St Johnstone manager Derek McInnes wasted no time in unveiling the club's all-time record sale as the man to fill the void.

Davidson, 34, is back at the Perth club where his career kicked-off as a teenager 15 years ago before he sealed a 2 million move to Blackburn Rovers in 1997.

After clinching a 12-month contract at McDiarmid Park the defender, who was released by Preston in March, said: "I have always looked for St Johnstone's results and it will be nice to give something back to Saints. My ambition and drive is as strong as ever."
