He has stacked up more than 100 appearances for St Johnstone in the last two years, including matches in the Europa League.

McCart was outstanding in the Perth club's double-winning year the season before last when they lifted the Scottish Cup and a first ever Scottish League Cup.

The defender attracted attention from clubs in England as a result and then rediscovered better form again in the second half of last season, paving the way for his move south to Rotherham.

McCart was chooled at Celtic, where his dad, Chris McCart, is youth chief, and had loan spells St Mirren, Alloa and Inverness Caledonian Thistle before joining the latter on a permanent basis in 2018.
