St Johnstone, a team cemented in the annals of Scottish football since their establishment back in the year 1884, proudly conduct their home games within the confines of McDiarmid Park. A spectre in Scotland's footballing scene, they've held a tenacious grip on the game for well over a century.
Indeed, the prowess of St Johnstone's squad, comprising 17 players, is underscored by their cumulative market value. A not inconsiderable sum, amounting to around £4m as per Transfermarkt, gives their opposition something to think about.
Despite their relative youth, with an average age of 23, the squad have shown themselves capable competitors in the current season. Three different competitions have seen the St Johnstone colours worn with pride, displaying an admirable level of skill and determination.
In the Championship, they've carved out a commendable stake, sitting in 1st place. Their progress in the League Cup saw them reach the Second Round, whilst their stint in the Challenge Cup saw them battling it out till the Quarter-finals. It seems, then, that St Johnstone is a team worth keeping an eye on.
