Saints will look to continue their fantastic current run of six game games unbeaten on Saturday, when we are once again on the road, as we head to Kilmarnock to face Allan Johnston’s side.
Killie are currently sitting in sixth place in the SPFL on 21 points. Meaning that, if results go Saints way, a win on Saturday would see us leapfrog the Ayrshire side as well as Dundee into sixth place. Allan Johnston’s side don’t come into Saturday’s encounter in the best of form-their last win was seven games ago against St. Johnstone.
These two have locked horns twice already this season. Saints came out on top in the League Cup clash at Rugby Park back in September whilst Killie returned the favour, as previously mentioned, when they visited McDiarmid Park in October with a 2-1 win.
St. Johnstone manager Tommy Wright, apart from long-term injuries to Steven MacLean and Tam Scobbie, has a full strength squad to choose from with Lee Croft returning from suspension.
Saturday’s game is a 3pm kick off at Rugby Park and the referee is Don Robertson.
Saints fans will be housed in the Chadwick Stand and prices are as follows:
£22 Adults £15 Concessions £5 Under 12s
