    As St Johnstone commit more men forward, Ross County are looking to capitalise

  2. St Johnstone 1-2 Ross County

    St Johnstone make another change as Danny Swanson is replaced by Callum Hendry, while the visitors introduce Michael Gardyne for Blair Spittal.

  3. CLOSE!

    St Johnstone 1-2 Ross County

    A third goal for County? No. Billy Mckay cuts inside his man and lofts a cross to the back post area for Josh Mullin but the midfielder can only send his stooping header into the side-netting.

  4. St Johnstone 1-2 Ross County

    Matt Kennedy does well to dink over a cross but there are more howls of frustration from the home fans as Chris Kane can only get the slightest touch with his head - and in doing so takes it away from team-mate Murray Davidson.

  7. YELLOW CARD

    St Johnstone 1-2 Ross County

    The first booking of the day goes to County midfielder Iain Vigurs for a nasty hack at the ankles of Murray Davidson.

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on Sportsound

    I thought St Johnstone were coming back into it but County are looking pretty comfortable in this second half.

  9. St Johnstone 1-2 Ross County

    County midfielder Josh Mullin swings in a cross from the left and big Ross Stewart has plenty of time and space to think about what he's going to do but can only send a looping header over the top.

  14. CLOSE!

    St Johnstone 1-2 Ross County

    Zander Clark pushes away a low shot from Ross Stewart and the loose ball is gathered by full-back Sean Kelly. The angle is tight, he's almost on the byeline, but he somehow squeezes a shot in and Clark does well to recover and kick it away.

    Neil McCann

    Danny Swanson should've finished and then Michael O'Halloran could've finished as well, from a tight angle. It goes to prove: if you don't take your chances then you leave yourself open
