St Johnstone are winless in the league this season and sit bottom of the table with four points from their opening eight matches. Steven Maclean's side have drawn with Celtic (0-0), Dundee (2-2), St Johnstone (1-1) and Aberdeen (0-0).

Saints drew twice and lost once to St Johnstone in our three meetings last season. 

Alex Gogic's late header saw St Mirren take a point when the sides last met in March. Zak Rudden had given the McDiarmid Park side the lead with just 15 minutes remaining, but Cypriot international Gogic rescued a point for the Buddies with just four minutes to go as we drew 1-1. 

An injury-time Nicky Clark goal saw the Perth Saints steal a point in a 2-2 draw on their only visit to The SMiSA Stadium last season after goals from Greg Kiltie and Mark O'Hara had the Buddies in front. 

Our last win against St Johnstone came at McDiarmid Park in April 2022 when Kiltie scored in a 1-0 victory.
