Match Report

Facts

Manager Programme Notes (Alex McLeish)

We welcome Premier League newcomers St. Johnstone to Fir Park this afternoon. The support you gave us for the first match at Dunfermline was outstanding and the team performance matched it. If we can combine again today then I’m sure we can give our visitors a hot reception wins out of two would be a great start to a league campaign which I feel will be as competitive as ever this season.
