St Johnstone have announced the signing of defender Kieran Tierney from Championship side Queens Park Rangers. The move is seen as a significant boost to the Scottish club's attacking options, with Tierney having previously played for Celtic and Liverpool.
The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to St Johnstone for some time now, but it was confirmed by the club on Friday that he had signed a new contract. Tierney will be given the opportunity to develop his game at St Johnstone, where he has already impressed with his performances in pre-season training.
The move comes just days after the club announced the signing of another defender, Ryan Christie, who is also from Queens Park Rangers. Christie has made a strong impression during his time at the club, scoring two goals in seven appearances for the club.
In addition to Tierney and Christie, St Johnstone also added a midfielder in the form of Alex McLeish, who is known for his technical ability and goal-scoring potential. The signing of McLeish is seen as a further boost to the team's attacking options, as they look to strengthen their attack this season.
Overall, the signings of Tierney and Christie are seen as a positive development for St Johnstone, as they aim to improve their attacking style. The move should provide the team with more depth and versatility, which could help them to compete at a higher level next season.
