Clarke's post on X, which included an angry face emoji, read: “Car stolen from driveway in Dundee last night. Reg number N16 CRK. Keep an eye out.”

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were made aware of the theft of a car from the Strathmartine Road area of Dundee on Thursday, 21 November, 2024. Enquiries are at an early stage".

Clark has scored 16 goals in 54 appearances with St Johnstone since joining the Perth club in the summer of 2022.

He also won promotion to the Premiership with Dundee United in season 2019-20.

Across a distinguished career, which has also included spells with Queen of the South, Dunfermline and Peterhead, the 33-year-old has scored 166 goals in 517 matches.
