Tony Docherty

“It will be a highly competitive game on Saturday – that’s what the fans like to see. It’s two teams on good form. Before the Celtic game, St Johnstone had a draw at home to Livingston and a win away to Aberdeen. It will serve up to be a really competitive affair. If I know Craig like I think I do, he will have his team set up to make it as difficult as he can. But, hopefully, we can exercise our game plan and go there and get the points.”

Jon McCracken 

“We’ve rested up well over the international break but also worked hard in training this week. We’re all looking forward to it.”
