TOMMY Wright insists St Johnstone have welcomed back an improved Michael O’Halloran to the club.
Rangers signed O’Halloran for £500,000 18 months ago with Mark Warburton at the helm but the fleet-footed attacker fell out of favour under Portuguese successor Pedro Caixinha and returned to St Johnstone on loan.
And now, three goals in two games have caught the eye.
Wright believed O’Halloran would slip back into his old routine because he knows the club inside out.
“That is one of the reasons I signed Michael,” said Wright.
“There were maybe other options in England but there is always a question mark.
“The relationship I have with him and he has with the players and fans here meant it was a no-brainer.
“Michael has come back and I think he is even better.
“To score three goals already is an incredible start for him.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
