Ross County
St Johnstone play host to Ross County at their McDiarmid Park in what is expected to be a close encounter. The Saints have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to St. Mirren, beating Kilmarnock, while sharing the spoils with Motherwell. Talented forward Dara Costelloe is back from suspension, while all Sam McClelland, Drey Wright, and Alistair Crawford are out of contention with injuries.
The Stagies, on the other hand, failed to shock reigning champions Celtic (0-3) in their last league match, with the team remaining in the danger zone. Ross County aim to put an end to their four-game winless run on the road and seeing that St Johnstone suit them, away win should be considered. Keep in mind that, though, that James Brown misses out through suspension, with William Nightingale likely to step up.
