Morton travel to take on St. Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The 'Ton will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The last time the two teams met at St. Johnstone was more than a decade ago, in February 1997, the Saints carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Scottish Division One match.
