Falkirk have allowed St Johnstone to keep youngster Liam Craig on loan for the rest of the season.
Craig, who has just turned 21, has been on loan at McDiarmid Park for the past month after finding himself on the fringes with the Bairns of late.
Midfielder Craig originally featured heavily when he signed a professional contract two years ago, but now with him not in manager John Hughes' first-team plans, he has been sent to the Saints for a spell.
Hughes told the club's official website: "The whole point of the exercise is to get Liam first-team football.
"We looked at the various options and the player seems happy enough to remain there. By all accounts he is playing well."
Craig will help the Saints' promotion push, with them riding high in third place in the first division.
