TEAM NEWS
Cody Cooke is back in training for the Buddies, but tomorrow's match comes too soon for the English striker.
Kyle McAllister remains out with a back injury that forced him to miss the match against Motherwell before the international break.
"It's going to be a really difficult game against St Johnstone who are a good side and it's a really important game for us.
"Tommy Wright's teams are renowned for their organisation and their hard work and I expect nothing different at the weekend.
"I watched a few of their games back last week. Although they lost 1-0 at home to Motherwell recently I thought they deserved to win the game. They created more opportunities, had more shots on target and created the more clear cut chances on the day.
"I certainly believe there are things we can exploit in the St Johnstone defence but I think we need to be very wary of them in an attacking perspective as well. They have some really good attacking players, some very dangerous players and they've got good pace in the team as well.
"We will have to be as organised and as switched on as we have been defensively at home, but hopefully we can exploit the weaknesses that we think are there and use that to our advantage at the weekend."
