Stevie May's move to St Johnstone is back ON.
Aberdeen striker May, 26, has been at the centre of interest from the Saints most of the summer.
Manager Tommy Wright has not hid his interest in the striker as the pair previously worked together at St Johnstone back in 2013/14.

The move - as late as last week - looked dead as Derek McInnes' side knocked back a loan offer.
It is understood the boss wants May off his wage bill completely and would rather sanction a permanent move.
Aberdeen have Sam Cosgrove, Curtis Main and James Wilson all above May in the pecking order.
But according to sources, the move looks back on and could be done before the end of the transfer window.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
