Tracing their roots back to the year 1884, St Johnstone have been gracing football pitches for well over a century. They've steadfastly made Scotland's McDiarmid Park their fortress, a terrain deeply interwoven into the fabric of their heritage.
Sift through the current St Johnstone squad and you’ll find a band of 38 players earnestly vying for glory. Their youthful vigour is undeniably encapsulated in the average age of the team, which sits at the tender age of 24.
Every player, every reputation, every ounce of potential all culminate in a total market value, a measure of a team's financial muscle on the transfer market. For St Johnstone, this value stands at around £7m, labels endowed upon them by Transfermarkt.
Throughout the course of the ongoing season, the scent of competition has led them into three different arenas. Their Premiership campaign sees them perched on a precarious 12th place rung, whereas their League Cup dream saw its curtain fall come the second round. As for the Scottish Cup, they're yet to prove their mettle, with their journey currently paused at the fifth round.
