As clubs continue their search for new recruits during the transfer window, STV has asked a fan from each SPL club to give their own wishlist for the January sales.
St Johnstone fan Steve McGillivray, who you can follow on Twitter, gives his opinion on what business Steve Lomas should do this month.
Which areas of the team does your side need to strengthen?
I'd like to see us strengthen at the back. We lost Michael Duberry and released Graham Gartland so we're a bit thin on the ground, especially with David McCracken and Frazer Wright's injury history. Another left back would be good too.
Do you see your team doing any business in the transfer window?
I'd expect some loan signings and maybe a couple of short term deals but no more than that.
Who would be a (semi-realistic!) fantasy signing for your team in January?
I'd have said someone like Michael Gardyne, but Peter Houston beat us to it.
Are there any players coming back from injury who "could be like new players" to the squad?
There's not any really long term injuries we have coming back but getting Frazer Wright back will be important.
Who does your team absolutely have to keep hold of during the January window?
Fran Sandaza and Murray Davidson.
Who should they be looking to move on?
We seem to be top heavy with strikers, so maybe put Carl Finnigan or Sean Higgins out on loan, as I do feel they can do a job for us long term.
Other than that I think we have a good sized squad and need to keep them. I was disappointed Gartland was moved on though, I'll say that.
