St. Johnstone face a trip to Hamilton Academical at New Douglas Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Saints will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 26 and win only 11 of the 48 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2004, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 3 winners in a Scottish Division One match.
