Ross County want to put the brakes on St Johnstone's run to the First Division title.
St Johnstone are the hosts today as Ross County come to call. Manager Derek Innes will be without midfielder Jody Morris today but he is expected to be back in action within four weeks. Morris could be available for Saints' last six games of the season as McInnes explained: "Jody's going to be out for another four weeks, which is as good as it could have been. It's the best case scenario, which is great news. There was a nagging fear that he might need an operation because the first scan wasn't really conclusive." Midfielder Martin Hardie should be available today and McInnes is also hoping to have Collin Samuel in his squad after a hamstring injury.

Ross County duo Dyron Daal (thigh) and Richard Brittain (knee) return from injury and could be heading to Perth. Both players missed the game with Airdrie United last weekend, which ended in a 0-0 draw, but should be fit to return against Saints. Defender Alex Keddie, who also missed out last weekend, is available again after a one-game suspension. Boss Derek Adams said: "This is a huge game for us against the team leading the way." | Editor Ger Harley (ger@scottishfitba net)
