Richard Brittain wants to stay at Ross County rather than join St Johnstone

Ross County midfielder Richard Brittain has stunned St Johnstone by asking for a pre-contract agreement to be ripped up.

Paperwork

With County making their stance over a possible fee clear, Saints manager Steve Lomas believes Brittain will be left with no choice but to honour the contract he signed in the New Year. He said: "As far as I'm concerned, Richard has signed a pre-contract with us and will come to St Johnstone. "We've lodged the papers and done everything by the book."
