Graeme Smith, Steven Anderson, Stuart McCaffrey, Martin Hardie, Paul Sheerin, Collin Samuel and trialist Filipe Morais will start for St Johnstone against Distillery in Lisburn tonight (writes James Masson).
Andy Jackson, who has been left behind in Perth with Kevin Moon and Peter MacDonald, will have a clearer idea of how his injured knee is once the swelling has settled down.
Moon is working his way back to fitness after a bout of mumps and MacDonald, who has a hamstring problem, is working with a fitness coach.
