JOE Shaughnessy will feature for Southend United against Millwall tonight, Echosport understands.

The former St Johnstone captain has been training with the Shrimpers this week.

And the centre-back is in line to face the Lions at Roots Hall tonight.

The 27-year-old started his career with Aberdeen and also featured for Forfar before joining St Johnstone in 2015.

Shaughnessy made a total of 168 appearances for the Scottish Premiership outfit but is now keen to ply his trade in England.
