Having won the Championship by 11 points, St Johnstone are Premiership-bound. So which members of Simo Valakari's squad are ready for the step up and which are not? Is the rebuilding job required this summer as big as the one needed last year? Is it bigger? On this week's Spoony Chop - the final episode before our summer break - Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss Saints' final win of the season against Ayr United and what comes next for the Perth side.

St Johnstone have sealed their return to the Premiership at the first time of asking by securing the Championship title.

St Johnstone are heading to Firhill to face Partick Thistle with an eight-point lead over their title rivals.

St Johnstone moved eight points clear at the top of the Championship after the weekend's 2-0 win away to Greenock Morton. It's the strongest position Simo Valakari's side have been in all season - and with a clash against title rivals Partick Thistle on the calendar after Saturday's meeting with Ross County, things are getting 'real'. Would Saints settle for four points from these two games? Might that be enough to all-but secure the title? Or is everything still hanging in the balance? On this week's Spoony Chop, Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss a potentially huge two games to come.

St Johnstone opened-up a five-point gap over Partick Thistle on Saturday but can they now make the most decisive move of the Championship campaign by beating Morton? Stuart Cosgrove and Eric Nicolson contemplate the potential of a season-defining weekend.

Adama Sidibeh's departure to Stockport County has been confirmed, with a six-figure fee banked in return.
