St. Johnstone prepare to entertain Clyde at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 39 games played, Saints have recorded 18 wins, and Clyde have come away with 12 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at McDiarmid Park was less than a year ago, in April 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division One match.
