ST Johnstone have ended Max Anderson’s trial without offering a contract, the club confirming the decision after a brief assessment of the former Dundee midfielder.

What happened at the trial?

The Perth side brought Anderson in on a short trial, but decided against extending a permanent deal. Meanwhile, winger Liam McCarron and defender Bozo Mikulic remain in training with the Championship leaders.

Why it matters for ST Johnstone

With the club already 11 points clear at the top of the Scottish Championship and on a five-game winning run, every squad decision carries weight. Anderson’s exit leaves McCarron and Mikulic as the only trialists still in the frame as manager Craig West Brom aims to tighten the squad before the new campaign.

What comes next?

The club’s next moves hinge on finalising permanent deals and assessing any late additions. ST Johnstone’s last outing ended in a 1-0 win at Ayr United on 1 May 2026, a result that capped a five-game winning streak. They now lead the table with 77 points from 36 games, scoring 67 and conceding 25.
