Mark Innes was taken on trial at the start of pre-season, but got injured and couldn't be signed. The mystery Spaniard (who's first name is apparently Xavier) played over an hour last night, but did not do enough to merit being signed and the interest will go no further.
With no new signings expected before Saturday's season opener, it looks as if Saints will be sticking with a 3-5-2 or playing Alan Reid or Ryan McCay at left back.
