Accumulating a rather plentiful squad over the years, St Johnstone currently command a strong force of 18 players. Quite a dynamic mix, considering their average age is a spry 24, suggesting a balance of both youthful exuberance and seasoned experience.

According to the statistics provided by Transfermarkt, the total market value of the St Johnstone playing squad is roughly around £4m. A penny for every passionate supporter, one might say.

Showing their mettle in the current season, St Johnstone have so far demonstrated their competitiveness in three chock-a-block competitions. They're currently leading the pack in the Championship; a feat to be admired considering the fierce competition. Their endeavour in the League Cup brought them as far as the Second Round, whilst in the Challenge Cup, they fought valiantly till the Quarter-finals. A commendable performance, no doubt.
