St. Johnstone pack their bags to visit Motherwell at Fir 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 33 and win only 12 of the 58 games.
The previous match played between the two at Fir Park was within the last three years, in February 2007, with St. Johnstone inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the The 'Well in a Scottish F.A. Cup match.
