St. Johnstone prepare to entertain Hamilton Academical at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Saints are clearly on top, having won 27 and lost only 11 of the 52 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at McDiarmid Park was less than a year ago, in April 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division One match.
