Team News
St. Johnstone
Motherwell
- St Johnstone boss Craig Levein named five changes to the Saints team that was knocked out of the Scottish Cup against their Championship opponents Airdrieonians 1-0, before they bounced back with a 1-1 draw against Aberdeen.
- Luke Robinson and new signing David Keltjens, who netted Saints' equaliser at McDiarmid Park in midweek, started either side of the unchanged back three. Dan Phillips and Sven Sprangler returned to midfield, joining Matt Smith in the middle of the park.
- The incoming Diallang Jaiyesimi was supported by Graham Carey in attack. Out dropped Tony Gallacher, Fran Franczak, Max Kucheriavyi and Benjamin Kimpioka who dropped onto the bench while Nicky Clark missed out completely.
- Stuart Kettlewell named two enforced changes to the Motherwell team that succumbed to a late leveller at Easter Road in their last league game in a 2-2 draw with Hibernian, before their 3-1 win over Alloa Athletic on Saturday.
- Callum Slattery's season appears to be over after picking up a training injury and Arsenal loanee Mika Biereth returned to the Gunners before signing for Sturm Graz. They made way for Calum Butcher and new signing Adam Montgomery.
- Andy Halliday made his Motherwell debut off the bench. The Steelmen also signed Sam Nicholson after booking their place in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup, and the former Hearts winger could potentially make his debut this weekend.
