Celtic left back Adam Montgomery's joined St Johnstone on loan.

The 19 year old defender, who's made 12 appearances for the Scottish champions, had a spell with Aberdeen last season.

After jetting out to Saints' pre-season training camp in Spain, Montgomery told their website : "This is a big opportunity for me and I will be giving it my all every day.

"I've arrived at lunchtime today and I've been made to feel very welcome by the manager, his staff and the players.

"Callum Davidson has displayed faith in me by bringing me to St Johnstone on loan and it's up to me to show him what I can do.

"My aim is to play as many first team games as I can and help the team win games of football.

"I'm going to be tested here every day and I can see the quality on the squad is good. The hard work has started and I want to show what I'm capable of.

"Every manager wants competition for places and every player wants to be pushed to their limits.

"That's the way I want it to be and I will respond to every challenge put in front of me by giving 100 percent for this Football Club."
