St Johnstone looking to take full advantage of run of home games

St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright will welcome the return of home comforts this weekend.

And he wants his team to take full advantage of a lopsided fixture list.

Saints have played five of their eight Premiership fixtures away so far, but it hasn’t stopped them making an impressive start to the season.

They’ll be back at McDiarmid Park for three of their next four games, beginning with Kilmarnock on Saturday.

And capitalising on that is now the aim.

“I don’t know what the computer did,” Wright said. “But we have had more away games recently and now the next three from four are at home.

“The important thing is to build on a good start and some good away results. We don’t want to be slipping up at home.”

The three home games are against the current bottom three sides – Killie, Dundee and Partick Thistle – but Wright has insisted there is no danger of Saturday’s visitors being taken lightly.

“Kilmarnock will be tough,” Wright said. “They have been scoring goals although I’m sure Lee (Clark) will want them to be tighter at the back.

“They have struggled to keep clean sheets so we have to ask questions of them. I am looking for us to kick on again after the break and build on the win at Ross County.

“But they have players who can hurt you. Kris Boyd is still a top striker and Coulibaye is a player who can get goals out of nothing, as he has shown against Hamilton, Dundee and Celtic.

“He is a threat because he can be game changer. He is unpredictable and some of his goals have been outstanding.

“He has had overhead kicks and also got them the lead at Celtic Park with what is probably goal of the season already. He is a danger but we have proved we can be dangerous ourselves.”

Wright added: “There has been a big change in personnel there. They will make it difficult and will press us hard. Lee will demand that from them.

“I know Lee well, since 1988. He was at Newcastle in my time there. We played in the league winning side that got the club promoted back to the top flight and we worked together at Norwich when he was assistant manager and I was the goalie coach.

“Lee won’t be panicking. It’s early days, only eight games in.”
