  2. Rain is tumbling down in sheets at McDiarmid Park now. Perfect slide-tackling conditions...

  3. Apologies for the radio commentary dropping off like that. Listeners are being treated to a wee rugby bonus at the moment. Normal service will be resumed shortly, I hope.

    GOAL

    St Johnstone 1-1 Dundee (Wotherspoon)

    With their first attack of note, Saints are level. Michael O'Halloran speeds down the right and cuts into the penalty area to lay the ball off for David Wotherspoon, who sweeps a first-time shot in off the underside of the crossbar.

  5. It's been a sluggish start from St Johnstone, who have not spent much time in the opposition half. 

  6. Kane Hemmings has another dig after Saints captain Dave MacKay surrenders possession near the halfway line but the striker doesn't quite catch the shot and it trundles wide.

  7. That was such a good team goal; lovely link work and a great give-and-go."

    Alan Preston, BBC Sportsound pundit

    GOAL

    St Johnstone 0-1 Dundee (Hemmings)

    Kane Hemmings exchanges passes with Greg Stewart and drills a wonderful shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area.

  9. Dundee pounce of some sloppy work from the Saints defence and a shot on the turn from Kane Hemmings needs a save from Allan Mannus at his near post.

  10. KICK-OFF

    And we're off. Dundee in their white shirts and dark blue shorts...

  11. The teams are in the tunnel, with captains Dave MacKay and James McPake sharing a joke. Not long to go now...

  12. We've put ourselves in a really good position but we are just 15 games in. We're just taking each game as it comes. We are on a great run and, if we keep that form up, we'll be challenging."

    Tommy Wright, St Johnstone manager

  13. Both of these side have lost just once in their last seven matches but Saints have picked up 10 more points. Those pesky draws will hold you back...

  14. I was really pleased with the second half performance at Hearts last weekend. Both teams tonight are attack-minded and I expect a good game.

    Paul Hartley, Dundee manager

  15. D is for Dundee and draw, with the Dark Blues specialising in single point gains of late. Four of their last five games have ended even.

  18. St Johnstone have finished in the top half of the table every season since 2011-12. Much of that past success has been down to a stubborn defence but this term they are averaging more than two goals a game, with their league tally of 31 bettered only by leaders Celtic. 

  19. St Johnstone are flying right now, sitting fourth in the Premiership, seven points ahead of Dundee in seventh.

    The Perth side are going for their sixth consecutive victory tonight and have won eight of their last nine outings.

    Impressive...

  20. In-form Saints are unchanged. Dundee have Nicky Low in for the injured Kevin Thomson.
