St Johnstone prepares for Celtic following recent league form

Summary

St Johnstone enters a high-profile home match against Celtic this Wednesday at McDiarmid Park. The team secured four points from its previous two fixtures, including a 1-1 draw against Dundee and a 2-1 victory over Hibs on Sunday. Josh Fowler scored both goals in the win over Hibs, contributing to a season trend where nearly every match result has been decided by a single goal. St Johnstone currently sits in a tightly contested league table where limited separation exists between clubs. The squad is scheduled for a free weekend following the Celtic match, providing an opportunity for recovery. The upcoming fixture serves as a significant test for the team's current momentum.

What they're saying

"
It has been an excellent week to be a St Johnstone supporter, even if the heart rate hasn't quite settled yet. If you had offered any Saints fan four points from a four-day stretch taking in a trip to Dens Park and a home clash with Hibs, they'd have bitten your hand off, swallowed it whole and asked for seconds. Let's be honest - if football was performance based, Saints were robbed of all three points against Dundee.
