Prediction: 2-1
St Johnstone
St. Mirren and St. Johnstone square off against each other at the SMISA Stadium on Matchday 26. St. Mirren were struggling in the first half of the season, but they have been in a fine form in 2022. Jim Goodwin’s troops recorded three wins in the previous four league fixtures, and they are surely capable of matching St. Johnstone in front of home fans.
Both Scott Tanser and Eamonn Brophy are sidelined with injuries, while Alex Gogic is back to contention as he was ineligible to face Hibernian at the weekend. The visitors, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Dundee United in their last league fixture. Melker Hallberg is banned for the visiting side, while Jahmal Hector-Ingram could make his Saints debut against St. Mirren. Anyhow, home win should be considered as St. Mirren have been in a thrilling form of late.
Highlighted Player (Marcus Fraser):
Marcus Fraser is a Scottish footballer who plays for Ross County as a defender. Fraser is a product of Celtic football school, but he made no more than one appearance for the Hoops in the Scottish Premier League. He played his only game for the Scottish giants in a 3-1 win at Inverness on February 9, 2013.
After ending his loan spell with Cowdenbeath, Marcus Fraser signed a deal with Ross County in 2015. Over the years, the defender has established himself as a first-team regular with the Staggies, making 26 appearances in the Scottish top flight last term.
Speaking of his international career, Fraser has five caps for the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team. His main position on the field is a right-back, but he is capable of producing good performances as a centre-back as well. Marcus Fraser was born in Bishopbriggs, Scotland, on June 23, 1994.
Highlighted Team (St Johnstone):
Founded back in 1884, St. Johnstone are Scottish football club that welcome their rivals at McDiarmid Park. The venue, which was opened in August 1989, can hold up to 10,696 spectators. Blue and white are the dominant colours of St Johnstone’s home kit, whereas they wear yellow shirts and white shorts when playing on the road.
The club’s biggest success came in the 2013/2014 season when they defeated Dundee United 2-0 in the Scottish Cup final. Steven Anderson and Steven MacLean scored for the Saints in the match played at Celtic Park, Glasgow. Dundee and Dundee United are the club’s traditional rivals, with the teams facing in the Tayside derbies.
The likes of John Brogan, Joe Carr, Willie Coburn, Roddy Grant, and Henry Hall are the first five members of St Johnston “Hall of Fame.” The Saints recorded their biggest win against Tulloch (13-0) in September 1887, with the team suffering their heaviest defeat to Montrose (11-1) in April 1893.
