Craig Levein has confirmed he is in talks with St Johnstone to become their new boss but admits it's not a done deal yet. Speculation have been rife that the former Hearts boss - last seen in the dugout with the Jambos in 2019 - was poised to replace Steven MacLean at McDiarmid Park.

The former striker was sacked after a winless start to the Premiership season and Alex Cleland got three points in their most recent game with Kilmarnock, but now Levein looks poised to take over.

Brechin City boss Andy Kirk is also set to come in alongside him as number two if a deal is rubber-stamped, with Saints facing Motherwell on Tuesday.

Speaking on BBC Sportsound, Levein said: "It's not done. There have been conversations, and we're somewhere in between those two things.
