St Johnstone are set to sign Crystal Palace goalkeeper Remi Matthews on a season-long loan, Courier Sport understands.
Saints have explored numerous options to replace Zander Clark this summer, with Kilmarnock’s Sam Walker among them.
Back-up Elliott Parish played all of the League Cup group games, with Scotland under-21 international Ross Sinclair expected to be farmed out for regular lower league action.
Matthews, 28, has previously played for Hamilton Accies (2016/17).
That spell in the Premiership included two games against Tommy Wright’s side, one of them the infamous contest when Danny Swanson and Richard Foster were sent off.
Matthews lists Norwich City, Bolton Wanderers, Sunderland and Plymouth Argyle as former clubs.
