St Johnstone's season all comes down to Saturday's clash with Ross County. Defeat will see them relegated to the Championship, while a draw will provide a stay of execution.

St Johnstone booked their place in the Scottish Cup quarter finals with a 1-0 win over Hamilton Accies. Their reward is a trip to face Livingston.

Saints' possession-based game seems to be leaving the pundits cold - so what is its value? Join Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton as they discuss this, debutant performances, plus a potentially significant weekend trip to Kilmarnock.   Subscribe to Trusted Local Journalism that Matters | The Courier

Dundee and United suffered the same fate as our two clubs crashed out of the Premier Sports Cup.  United's last-gasp exit against Motherwell created more questions than answers – namely, is it time for Louis Moult to start?
