However, before their tilt at the Championship can begin, they will warm up with four Premier Sports Cup group stage games.
And the dates and times for each of Saints’ ‘Group F’ clashes have now been confirmed.

Another away match follows, with Inverness Caley Thistle hosting Simo Valakari’s side, before a home double-header against Championship rivals Raith Rovers – from whom Saints have snapped up striker Jamie Gullan – and Elgin City.
