Levein: I'm Close to becoming St Johnstone manager


Craig Levein has revealed he has held talks with St Johnstone about becoming the club's new boss.

St Johnstone are looking for a replacement for Steven MacLean, who departed the club last week.

Speaking on BBC Scotland Sportsound, the 59-year-old former Scotland, Hearts and Dundee United manager said: "I'm really looking forward to it, but until the ink has dried on the paper, nothing is done.

"I want to have another go at it, throw the dice and see if, in the latter stages of my career, I can make a difference to St Johnstone and get them up the league.

"There have been conversations. This opportunity is something that I looked seriously at - looked at the squad, the results, spoke to a few people - and had a good feeling about it."

MacLean left Saints last week following a 4-0 defeat at St Mirren which left the club bottom of the Scottish Premiership with four points from nine games.
