Ross County vs St Johnstone Preview: Latest Form, News, and Potential Lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Ross County vs St Johnstone lineups.
Ross County
Ross County gave a good account of themselves in round 1 when they lost only 2-4 vs Celtic. The Staggies showed bravery and despite a poor start found some form late in the game. Ross enjoyed a solid League Cup run too – won 3 out of 4 games.
The squad is still getting rebuilt with 9 new faces settling in. Coach Mackay hinted that in the first few rounds, he will be rotating often until he finds his best lineup.
Recently signed defender Ryan Leak could be in for his full debut in this match. This seems even likelier considering that 2 of the main defenders from last season Callachan and Paton continue to recover after needing knee surgeries.
Ross County Predicted Lineup:
Laidlaw (GK), Baldwin, Nightingale, Leak, Brown, Randall, Loturi, Sims, Dhanda, White, & Murray
St Johnstone
St Johnstone were pretty poor in round 1 when losing 0-2 at home vs Hearts. Never looked like scoring all match and this has been a worrying trend for them all summer. The Saints failed to score in 4 of their 5 official matches so far this campaign. They lost all 4, 3 of those in the League Cup.
It seems the third-choice goalie Mitov will have to start between the posts. The main goalkeeper Ross Sinclair broke his arm this week and he is out for a long period. Already, his main backup Jack Willis has been sidelined with a broken leg.
St Johnstone Predicted Lineup:
Mitov (GK), Brown, Considine, Gordon, Gallacher, Kucheryavyi, Phillips, Ballantyne, Ferguson, Jephcott & May
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Jordan White
Jordan White already scored his first goal of the new campaign against Celtic. White also got on the scoresheet in the last match vs St Johnstone. He will certainly fancy his chances to do that again, especially considering how poor the Saints had been defensively lately.
