St Johnstone, a team steeped in history, were established in the year 1884. Their stomping ground is the venerated McDiarmid Park, nestled in the heartlands of Scotland. The green turf has been the venue for countless riveting encounters in the Scottish football landscape since its inception.
Valued at approximately £4m, as reported by Transfermarkt, St Johnstone's squad boasts a menagerie of talent. The market values assigned to players tend to be the subject of much banter in football circles, often tightly bound to the talent they display on the pitch, or, cynics might say, the lack thereof.
With a player roster of 17 diligent athletes, the average age of St Johnstone's squad stands at 24. While the vintage for a player to hit their prime varies wildly and is in many ways arbitrary, this number suggests a dexterous blend of youthful vigour and seasoned guidance in the ranks.
This season, St Johnstone have been battling on two fronts with a deftness not to be overlooked. They've claimed pole position in the Championship, while in the League Cup their campaign reached as far as the Second Round. Often, teams that fight on multiple fronts find their resources stretched and their legs weary. Stamina, both mental and physical, is key. This season, St Johnstone's resolve has been tested, their grit on display for all to see.
