Founded in the tail end of the 19th century (1884 to be precise), the St Johnstone Football Club propels the ball over the pitch at their domicile of McDiarmid Park, nestled in the raw beauty of Scotland. These lads play the game with grit and verve, a true spectacle to observe.

As per the clever folk at Transfermarkt, our gallant bhoys are worth a batting £3m in market terms, a commendable estimation for our lads under the whistle.

Speaking of troops, St Johnstone sports a tidy team of 17 players, all chasing the ball with an average of 24 winters under their belts. Agile, spirited, and youthful might well be the terms associated with the set of skilled individuals.

This season, the Saints have been toiling in not one, not two, but three competitions, reports of which have been indicating a pleasing turn of events. They've managed to carve their path to the pinnacle in the Championship; have fought their way to the Second Round in the League Cup; and have dashed to the Quarter-finals in the Challenge Cup. Quite the season it's turning out to be for our Saints.
