Meanwhile, two players definitely not facing Dundee at Dens on Saturday are the suspended Simon Mensing and Jason Scotland, who is on World Cup duty with Trinidad & Tobago.

Scotland, along with the rest of his country’s British-based players has flown out to Trinidad. In fact, they were on the same flight as the Bahrain squad, their opponents in the World Cup play-off.

The offer to Saints season ticket holders of hospitality at two fixtures during this month has proved as popular as ever.

Places for the match against Clyde a week on Saturday are now all taken, but spaces remain at the match against Stranraer on November 26.

The cost per person is £35 and to book call Paul Smith on 01738 459093 or email paul@stjohnstonefc.co.uk
