St Johnstone make three changes to the side that were on the losing end of a 3-1 scoreline against Celtic last time out.

Vetrans Andy Considine and Graham Carey drop to the bench, while midfielder Sven Sprangler misses out completely with an injury. Left-back Tony Gallacher, forward Nicky Clark and midfielder Max Kucheriavyi all start.

Connor Smith, who was a doubt with illness, is fit enough to make the bench.

Just the one change for Tony Docherty's side from the last time they played a competitive match over two weeks ago.

Striker Curtis Main drops out of the squad with a hamstring injury and he's replaced with Amadou Bakayoko who starts his first game since 28 February.

Jordan McGhee, Zach Robinson and Ryan Howley are all fit enough to make the bench. Still no sign of goalkeeper Trevor Carson with Harry Sharp making the bench.
