St Johnstone, a club firmly rooted in the history of Scottish football, came into being in the year 1884. Their battleground, McDiarmid Park, has seen the ebbs and flows of many seasons since its establishment. A familiar sight in the landscape of Scotland, it seems to echo the profound tales of St Johnstone's many victories and losses.

The club's current squad of 17 lads, with an average tender age of 24, holds a cumulative market value of around £3m, an estimate provided by Transfermarkt. Such a valuation, though not colossal by any means, is a testament to the potential that these young lads possess.

This season, St Johnstone have been pitting their skills in three different competitions. The lads have shown exemplary fortitude in the Championship, being top of the pile. Their journey in the League Cup, unfortunately, ended in the second round. Much like a warrior undeterred by setbacks, they battled their way through to the quarter-finals in the Challenge Cup.
