St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas cleared for Millwall talks
St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas has been given permission to speak to Millwall regarding the clubs managerial vacancy.
The Perth side have confirmed the Northern Irishman is free to talk to the Championship club.
Saints chairman Steve Brown said: I have given Millwall consent to speak to Steve. As with our previous two managers, we will not stand in the way of Steve if he agrees to join Millwall.
The Lions have been searching for a new boss since Kenny Jackett left after five-and-a-half years in charge. He subsequently took over at Wolves.
Lomas took charge at McDiarmid Park in November 2011 after predecessor Derek McInnes moved to Bristol City.
The former Manchester City player led Saints to fourth in the SPL this season, claiming a Europa League place in the process.
Meanwhile, Saints midfielder David Robertson has signed a deal for the first half of next season.
The 26-year-old broke his leg in November, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
But he now expects to be fit for pre-season training and is desperate to extend his stay at the club.
He said: I was doing some light training before the end of the season and having a deal to January gives me a bit of stability. Its up to me to prove Im worth keeping beyond then.
