Celtic right-back Anthony Ralston and Rangers midfielder Jason Holt have joined St Johnstone for the season.

Ralston, 20, is a replacement for Richard Foster, who left to rejoin Ross County after a training ground disagreement with manager Tommy Wright.

Holt, 26, was loaned to Fleetwood Town last term and previously played for Hearts.

Saints, who are bottom of the Scottish Premiership, are next in action against Aberdeen a week on Saturday.

Ralston made four appearances for Celtic this season but Hatem Abd Elhamed has been brought in from Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Moritz Bauer on loan from Stoke City to fill the right-back position.

Scotland Under-21 international Ralston was on loan to Dundee United last season and had a previous spell with Queen's Park.

Holt has made more than 100 appearances for Rangers and was loaned to Raith Rovers and Sheffield United during his time with Hearts.
