Team News
St. Johnstone
Hearts
- Pressure in Perth is mounting already, as Steven MacLean's Saints were humiliated at home last weekend as they crashed out of the League Cup courtesy of a 4-0 defeat against last season's League 2 champions Stirling Albion.
- Only goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov and striker Luke Jephcott have signed for St Johnstone this summer, from Cambridge United and Plymouth Argyle. Saints legend Murray Davidson retired this summer after a 14-year stay at McDiarmid Park.
- A plethora of players left the club on free transfers, with Melker Hallberg and David Wotherspoon without clubs. Charlie Gilmour, Jamie Murphy, Michael O'Halloran and Theo Bair have joined Inverness, Ayr, Dunfermline and Motherwell.
- Many Scottish football fans were left puzzled by Hearts' new managerial structure, with Frankie McAvoy named as the club's official new head coach and Steven Naismith taking the role of technical director.
- Regardless of who's taking the reigns in Gorgie, it's been a quiet summer in Edinburgh's west end so far. Goalkeeper Michael McGovern has arrived as competition for Zander Clark, as Ross Stewart departs Hearts.
- Centre-back Frankie Kent has joined the Jambos from Peterborough United. Calem Nieuwenhof has left Western Sydney Wanderers to sign in Edinburgh. However, the need for attacking arrivals is evident and the club will hope to announce a few soon.
