Hamilton Ac. face a trip to St. Johnstone at McDiarmid Park at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Accies will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 30 and win only 11 of the 57 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.
