History of the St. Johnstone v Ross County fixture

St. Johnstone prepare to entertain Ross County at McDiarmid Park on Saturday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Though only 25% of the games played between the two sides have resulted in a win for the Saints.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at McDiarmid Park was less than a year ago, in April 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division One match.
