Tommy Wright believes St Johnstone’s trip to St Mirren on Wednesday night promises different but no less difficult problems than their encounters against the Old Firm. St Johnstone are in eighth place in the table, behind Kilmarnock on goal difference and still harbouring hopes of a top-six spot. We did cause Celtic problems, we had 11 shots to their 16 which against a team of that quality, is pretty good. I am hoping that when we go to St Mirren we don’t give up as much possession as we do against Rangers and Celtic and with that comes a different game plan from our point of view. “They are in a decent run of form, they have become a side really difficult to beat, difficult to break down and they have quality, particularly Ilkay Durmus in the wide areas and they have goals from midfield.
