Manager's thoughts
"I think we’re all really excited. To get through the group stages of the Premier Sports Cup in the manner we did was very pleasing but the league is the most important thing to us.
"We really want to get off to a good start and get some momentum behind us.
"I think it is probably going to be the toughest Premier League in a decade. All the big boys are back.
"The two big Dundee clubs, two Edinburgh clubs, two Glasgow clubs, and Aberdeen are there. If you look at the history of all those clubs, they are big clubs with big fanbases and decent budgets.
"That will only add to the quality of the league and we’re all very excited for it."
The officials
Craig Napier will take charge of the match on Saturday. His assistants are Frank Connor and Jonathan Bell, while Mike Roncone is the fourth official.
