Preview

Hibernian were without a whole host of first-team players on their trip to Dundee in midweek and they have come out of the Dens Park clash with even more selection issues.

Key defender Rocky Bushiri is suspended after being shown a red card against the Dark Blues, while Chris Mueller and James Scott are set to miss out through illness.

First-choice keeper Matt Macey is injured and forward Kevin Nisbet has picked up a long-term knee problem.

Kyle Magennis, Paul Hanlon and Paul McGinn remain sidelined and Demi Mitchell, Joe Newell and Harry Clarke are unlikely to feature.

It hasn't been a great campaign for St Johnstone but they have picked up a little of late, with wins over Hearts and Livingston and a draw at Aberdeen.

The Saints have scored five goals in their last last four matches and that's not a terrible return for a side who are notorious for not converting their chances.

Hibs make little appeal at 4-5, given the players that they will be missing on Saturday and backing St Johnstone and the draw on the double chance market has to be the play.

Ross County were fairly fortunate to win at Motherwell in midweek and they may come unstuck against St Mirren.

Jim Goodwin's move to Aberdeen hasn't helped the Buddies and they have lost the two games they have played since his departure.

However, those matches were against Hearts and Celtic and it was no surprise that St Mirren came up short.

The Buddies look underrated at Dingwall and at 11-5 they are worth a punt.
