There is Friday night football at McDiarmid Park as St Johnstone take on Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership.

The match is live on BT Sport, kick-off 7.45pm, and Stuart McCall's men are seeking revenge for a 1-0 defeat at Fir Park in August when Brian Graham scored the only goal.

That was the last time Tommy Wright's team recorded a win in the Premiership and they have struggled in Perth this season, losing four of their five games - the exception being a 1-0 victory over Aberdeen back in August.

Motherwell's last win was 2-1 at Ross County in September and they are three points behind their hosts in the table following a 1-0 reverse at Pittodrie last Friday.

All four meetings between St Johnstone and Motherwell last season were won by the home team. The most recent McDiarmid Park encounter saw Saints claim a 3-0 victory in February, helped by a double from Steven MacLean but he is currently out injured.
