St Johnstone vs Hibernian match preview
Will Hibernian keep their European hopes on track, or will they slip out of the top six all together?
Last weekend, Kevin Nisbet’s volley saw Hibs down fierce rivals Hearts 1-0 in the Edinburgh Derby at Easter Road.
Lee Johnson’s side continue to be incredibly streaky, losing four on the spin before this win, despite being unbeaten in seven before that, having previously lost nine out of 11 immediately prior to that upturn.
All of this inconsistency leaves the Hibees slap-bang in the middle of the table, currently sixth, with this their final fixture before the split.
Hibernian could still slip out of the top six, and would do so if they fail to win in Perth and Livingston win at Tannadice simultaneously.
On the flip side, Hibs are one point below St Mirren who occupy the final European spot, just seven adrift Aberdeen in third, a position that secures guaranteed UEFA competition group stage football.
Hosts St Johnstone meantime will be led by someone other than Tommy Wright or Callum Davidson for the first time since May 2013, almost a decade ago!
Last weekend, the Saints suffered a third successive defeat, this time beaten by Livingston, with Davidson sacked the following morning.
He led St Johnstone to an unprecedented cup double in 2021, but then the Saints only survived in the top-flight by beating Inverness Caley Thistle in the relegation play-off 12 months later.
Right now, the Saints have won just two of their last 15 Premiership matches, with the hierarchy clearly feeling the team are in danger of another bottom two finish.
Steven MacLean takes caretaker charge of the team in ninth, a mere four points clear of the relegation zone.
Both meetings between these two this season have produced away wins, so will that trend continue, or will the Saints enjoy a new manager bounce?
