St. Johnstone face a trip to St. Mirren at St Mirren Park on Saturday afternoon, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 17 of the 43 previous games, with the hosts winning just 12.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division One match.
