St Johnstone have signed former Scotland striker Chris Iwelumo until the end of the season.
Saints are now club number 17 for the veteran frontman, who is best remembered north of the border for missing an open goal in a 2008 World Cup qualifier against Norway.
Club number 16 was Scunthorpe United, with whom he parted company by mutual consent earlier this month.
The 6’3” 35-year-old started out with St Mirren, but made his name in England’s lower leagues.
He has four caps.

Perth boss Tommy Wright has made a new striker his January priority, and missed out on a loan deal for David Goodwillie.
Iwelumo will go straight into the squad for the Monday night clash with Dundee United and will also be available for the League Cup semi-final against Aberdeen the following Saturday.
Wright is also hoping to bring in a midfielder to cover for injured Murray Davidson.
