St Johnstone have announced a new contract for Scottish Cup semi-final hero Chris Kane with a hilarious WWE signing clip.
The striker penned a new two-year deal at McDiarmid Park earlier today.
And in a brilliant announcement clip, the Perth club used professional wrestler Kane in a 'Money in the Bank' ladder match as a way of teasing fans ahead of the official unveiling.

Following up with the footage - where a '2 year contract' dangled over the ladder instead of a briefcase - the club confirmed: "We are absolutely delighted to announce that Chris Kane has signed a new 2-year contract with the club. Congratulations @ChrisKane1994".

Congratulations, @Chriskane1994 👏#SJFC
The striker bagged the opener for the Saints against St Mirren at Hampden earlier this month before Glenn Middleton sealed the passage into the final minutes later.
He has scored eight goals from 38 appearances in all competitions this season and has picked up a Betfred Cup winners medal.
