Stockport County have jumped to the head of the queue of Adama Sidibeh suitors. St Johnstone have already knocked back one bid from the EFL League One promotion chasers. Can - and should - they knock back further approaches too? On this week's Spoony Chop, Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss the pros and cons, along with the loan signing of Alfredo Agyeman from Falkirk, Bozo Mikulic's long-awaited return, Louis Lloyd's first Saints goal, KDM Evolution Trophy victory over Ross County, whether Simo Valakari was right to give his players a break in the aftermath and Saturday's Championship clash with Dunfermline.

St Johnstone's last two games have been postponed but this has still been a big week for the Perth club. Stuart Cosgrove and Eric Nicolson discuss the head coach's new contract and the implications of a defeat for title rivals, Partick Thistle.

St Johnstone's lead at the top of the Championship was preserved with a "job done well" New Year win over Arbroath. On this episode of the Spoony Chop, Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss the performance against the Lichties', whether Saints are now in a two-horse race for title with Partick Thistle and mounting interest in striker Adama Sidibeh from England. Will he stay or will he go in January?

St Johnstone maintained their five-point lead at the top of the Championship with a less than festive goalless draw in Dingwall. So how did Saints' final game of 2025 go down? And with the division's form team in Arbroath next up, how beneficial for the Perth side might the Lichties' personnel issues turn out to be?

It's the busy festive period, but while many of us are frantically rushing around trying to organise things at the last minute again, Dave has stepped up with two cracking interviews for you this week.First up is Kevin Lynch from the North East Tartan Army to talk about what a year it's been from his perspective, as well as the upcoming 10th anniversary of NETA. Let's face it, no one is getting tired of talking about Scotland qualifying for the World Cup! Kevin also chats about just some of the charity events being run and the hopes for council fan zones come World Cup time.Then we have Oliver Kennedy, St Johnstone and Scotland fan as well as journalist for the Gaudie student newspaper in Aberdeen, clearly another happy man as far as the football goes at the moment!

St Johnstone bossed possession and territory against Raith Rovers but could not find a way to goal. There was a disgruntled fan reaction to Saints' third goalless draw of the season at home, but was it justified? On this week's Spoony Chop, Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss the performance, its impact on the Championship title race, and whether it told us anything new about Saints' transfer window needs.

We discuss the latest from the Championship, where Partick Thistle and St Johnstone remain tied at the top and Leagues One and Two, with Andy Burke, Craig Telfer and Ryan Flynn.

An ignominious Scottish Cup exit has turned a critical spotlight on St Johnstone, even though they are still top of the Championship. In this week's Spoony Chop, Eric Nicolson and Stuart Cosgrove get to the heart of the problems that need corrected and stress the need for unity when Raith Rovers come to town this weekend.  Interested in local sport news, you can save now with The Courier Sport Pack.

St Johnstone successfully negotiated a tricky contest with Queen's Park to ensure they will face title rivals Partick Thistle with a six-point lead at the top of the Championship. What went well against the Spiders and what was not so good? Was the penalty decision in favour of Queen's the worst ever made at McDiarmid Park? And what lies in store at Firhill on Saturday?

A sickening late Dunfermline equaliser robbed St Johnstone of the chance to stretch their lead at the top of the Championship to five points. With Queen's Park next up at McDiarmid Park, what should Simo Valakari be doing with his team, which will be without Adama Sidibeh and Uche Ikpeazu? And how much pressure comes with the game before "the game" against Partick Thistle on November 22?

We go beyond the Premiership looking at the Championship title race as St Johnstone and Partick Thistle drop points, and ask if the teams at the bottom of the table can recover, we look at Inverness's rise in League One and Clyde's good form in League Two.

In this episode, Stuart and Jack welcome back Paul Gerald from Groundhopper Soccer Guides — a football travel expert helping fans experience the game's greatest atmospheres across Europe.

St Johnstone picked up a comfortable three points against Airdrie thanks to Adama Sidibeh's best performance for the club. The Gambian striker notched a "perfect" hat trick to cap off a team performance that become more impressive as the game went on. Can he keep it up? Can Jonathan Svedberg further cement his place in the team? And can Saints find a "big brother" performance to see of Dunfermline at the weekend?

Scott Fraser, Craig Telfer join Andy Burke to discuss if we have a title race in the Championship? Do Partick Thistle having the staying power to mix it with St Johnstone? Are Dunfermline Athletic finally starting to click under Neil Lennon? As Stenhousemuir stumble in League One could Inverness be about to stroll away with the title? And can Edinburgh City still pull off “The Great Escape” of Scottish football in League Two? This podcast contains some language which audiences may find mildly offensive.

Fraser Clarke joins Craig G Telfer to cast an eye across the big games across the Scottish lower leagues. The pair discuss Ross County's victory over a haphazard Dunfermline Athletic, St Johnstone's demolition of Greenock Morton, Queen of the South's unexpected triumph over Hamilton Academical, and the best of the Scottish Cup second round. 0:00 Start Learn more about your ad choices.

After last week's loss at Arbroath - and having taken just two points from the last available nine - St Johnstone needed to get back on track. Partick Thistle's midweek win had seen them go level on points with Saints at the top of the table, but Simo Valakari's side strolled to a well-deserved 4-0 win over Greenock Morton. In doing so, they re-established a three-point cushion at the top of the table and, with Airdrie the next visitors to McDiarmid Park, they have a chance to stretch it.

St Johnstone's first defeat of the league season has been dished out by Arbroath. And the Red Lichties were well worth their victory. So what went wrong for Saints at Gayfield? And how might Simo Valakri react ahead of Saturday's trip to Greenock? By which time Partick Thistle could have wiped out the Perth side's lead at the top of the table.

Shaughan McGuigan and Craig G Telfer team up to take on all four games in the Scottish Championship. The pair take deep dives into Ayr United's win at Raith Rovers and Arbroath's demolition of Queen's Park, before examining the entertaining encounter between Greenock Morton and Partick Thistle and the dull "big dog derby". 0:00 Start 08:15 Ayr United 0-2 Raith Rovers 31:40 Arbroath 4-1 Queen's Park 01:01:20 Greenock Morton 1-1 Partick Thistle 01:09:20 St Johnstone 0-0 Ross County Learn more about your ad choices.

Despite another 0-0 draw, this time with Ross County, St Johnstone's six-point lead at the top of the table remains intact. Ahead of the weekend trip to face Arbroath, Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss a dominant display against the Staggies, albeit one that produced no goals, whether Saints have a problem with 'over-playing', Liam Smith's impact at right back and the Jamie Guallan/Adama Sidibeh conundrum.

After 123 days in charge and a fan revolt, Russell Martin has been sacked from his role as Rangers Manager.

St Johnstone capped off an unbeaten first quarter of the Championship season with a goalless draw at home to Ayr United. It's a start to the season fans would have bitten their own hand off for ahead of the big kick-off. But did the performance against the Honest Men contain worrying portents? How should Simo Valakari look to freshen things up ahead of Ross County's visit? And who should step in at 'No. 9' off the back of Adama Sidibeh and Uche Ikpeazu's departures on international duty?

After another late Josh McPake goal sealed St Johnstone's third win in seven days, this time over Queen's Park, Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton are back to discuss the latest goings on at McDiarmid Park. Saints remain unbeaten in the league and secure at the top of the table, but should a succession of increasingly close matches worry fans? Should Saints be looking to sign a 'No. 9' like Queen's Josh Fowler in January? And can the Perth side close out the first round of Championship fixtures without defeat, with Ayr United their final opponents?

St Johnstone are flying at the top of the Championship but some former top-flight managers are struggling in the second tier.Craig Telfer and John Walker join Phil Goodlad to take a look at everything happening in the lower leagues.

Phil Goodlad is joined by Moira Gordon and Ryan McGowan to look ahead to the weekend's top-flight action and preview Raith Rovers v St Johnstone.

It proved to be a frustrating deadline day for St Johnstone but has the transfer window been a success as a whole and will there be further squad additions now that it's closed? Stuart Cosgrove makes his Spoony Chop return to discuss the road ahead with Eric Nicolson.

On this week's Spoony Chop, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton chew over St Johnstone's extra-time cup defeat to Motherwell, what the personnel, tactics and performance told us about where the club stands ahead of its return to Championship action against Arbroath, and, with the transfer window starting to creak, when mounting interest in Makenzie Kirk will result in a bid Saints can't say no to.

After that opening day demolition of Partick Thistle, St Johnstone travelled to face pre-season title favourites Ross County and returned with a second "statement" win in as many games. Against Thistle, Saints were swashbuckling. Against County, they were a force to be reckoned with, both physically and with the football. What have these two wins said about Saints to their Championship rivals? Who are the unsung heroes worthy of praise? And with a League Cup clash against Motherwell on the horizon, what might Simo Valakari do to his starting XI?

Shaughan McGuigan and Craig G Telfer get together to analyse the big games from the Scottish lower leagues from the first weekend back. The pair analyse St Johnstone's outstanding win over Partick Thistle, Peterhead's victory against East Fife, and East Kilbride's disappointing flag day.
