Rotherham set to up offer for St Johnstone wing-back Shaun Rooney

Shaun Rooney continues to be attracting the interest of Rotherham United.

And the Millers are set to come back in with a fresh offer for St Johnstone’s cup double goal-scoring star.

The English League One club have already attempted to lure the 24-year-old south but had a £200,000 bid turned down.

Saints, who have a mouth-watering Europa League third qualifying round tie against either Galatasaray or PSV Eindhoven on the horizon, will not let prized assets go on the cheap.

Rooney enjoyed a dream second half of the season and earned legendary status for his cup final contributions.

The flying full-back netted the winners in both the League Cup and Scottish Cup showdowns at national stadium Hampden.

He played in front of Saints supporters for the first time in last week’s friendly with Preston and, as expected, was the centre of many chants and rounds of applause.

Rooney has one year remaining on his Perth contract.
