Connolly has dual role

New St Johnstone boss John Connolly has pledged to use his business acumen to help the club off the field as well as calling on his coaching ability to gain promotion next season.

The 53-year-old was appointed as successor to Billy Stark, following a week of uncertainty after the ex-Celtic assistant was dismissed for failing to guide the club back into the Bank of Scotland Premier League at the second time of asking.
