THE final formalities were completed on Friday for Derek McInnes to become a St Johnstone player.

While the midfieler's return to Scotland had been mooted for some time, and indeed it was announced elsewhere earlier this week he had joined the Perth outfit, the deal was only completed this morning (January 5).

Everyone at Millwall wishes Derek the very best as he returns home to be with his family and looks forward to embarking on the next stage of his career.

Lions boss Willie Donachie said: "It's a shame it hasn't really worked out for Derek at Millwall.

"He's the type of good honest pro' that you need in your team and his attitude has been first class."
