Malone played in the last game of last season against Inverness Caley Thistle, but picked up an injury over the summer that has ruled him out for some time. He has played in a few reserve games recently, but some competitive first team action should benefit both him and Saints. It wouldn't be a surprise to see fellow long term injury victim Craig Molloy - who has also just returned to the reserves - also loaned out.
A word of warning though - this time last year Dundee took Brian McGinty on loan for a few months. After playing a few games, he got injured and never played for Dundee or Saints again!
In other Saints related news, Lithuanian defender Julius Raliukonis - who was on trial at Love Street a few months ago - has signed for Livingston.
