Queen’s Park v St Johnstone – Match Preview
LEAGUE leaders St Johnstone are scheduled to make their second trip to The city Stadium this Saturday.
The match is subject to a Saturday morning pitch inspection though after a week of sub-zero temperatures.
The southside has avoided the snow seen elsewhere in the country however the freezing conditions forced Tuesday night’s KDM Evolution Trophy match with Forfar Athletic to be postponed, and Sean Crighton’s training schedule to move indoors.
Looking ahead
Sean Crighton’s head coach previews are sponsored by Glasgow Clyde College.
The head coach, and assistant Jim Duffy, are sponsored by PTS Clean this season.
The Season so far...
Dropping down from the William Hill Premiership, St Johnstone were expected to be among the candidates for an immediate return to the top flight at the start of the season.
That is how their form has developed throughout the first half of the season with Simo Valakari’s side top of the table, though Partick Thistle are hot on their heels.
Helping them there has been ex-Spiders winger Josh McPake with 13 league goals and Jamie Gullan with the same tally in all competitions.
Of course Queen’s Park have our own striker chasing the top of the goalscoring charts too in Josh Fowler, and he netted in each of the previous two meetings between the sides.
Each has been a tight affair belying the difference in league positions with a single late goal deciding both in Saints’ favour.
McPake netted in injury time on the last trip to Glasgow, and a second half rally from the Spiders threatened a comeback cracker in Perth, but Jack Baird’s header six minutes from time proved decisive, despite Rocco Friel’s late goal.
