Ross County were unable to bounce back from their Scottish League Cup exit after being held to a 2-2 draw away at Airdrie last Saturday. Don Cowie’s side looked to be on course to collect all three points on the opening weekend of the season before blowing a two-goal lead in the second half.
A combination of a relegation hangover and a heavy recruitment drive can perhaps be attributed to the Staggies’ slow start to the season. County will be hoping that a victory over St Johnstone will be the catalyst their season needs following their sluggish start to the campaign.
🔵 Saints on the March
As mentioned, St Johnstone hit the ground running in style last weekend with a 5-1 demolition of Partick Thistle. The Saints were dominant throughout that victory, enjoying 61% possession and racking up 20 shots, 11 of which hit the target.
Simo Valakari’s side also played with a real swagger during the group stage of the Scottish League Cup, most notably earning an 8-0 win over Elgin City. Forward Jamie Gullan has made an instant impact since joining the club in the summer, netting five goals in as many games.
📊 Ross County v St Johnstone H2H
The two teams came up against each other on four occasions in last season’s Scottish Premiership, with St Johnstone claiming top honours from three of those tussles while the other encounter ended 3-3. It’s also worth noting that Ross County failed to win three of their four meetings with the Saints two seasons ago, with their last success in this fixture stretching all the way back to August 2023.
