St. Mirren hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 25 points and a 10th position in the Premiership table. Visiting St. Johnstone holds 8th place with 32 pts.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
