Match Preview

The last two Scottish Championship champions meet at McDiarmid Park this weekend, as St Johnstone host Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon in Perth.

St Johnstone missed out on the chance to beat Celtic in successive league meetings (having clinched a sole goal success against the Bhoys in April 2025) for the first time since a run of three in April 1999. Saints have only won two of their last 13 midweek top tier matches (D5 L6), so will be thankful for a Saturday fixture and hope to return to winning ways this weekend against a potentially fatigued Falkirk who played in midweek.

Falkirk had lost four successive Scottish Premiership matches at home, last losing more in a row on home soil in the top flight back in January 2006 (6), before they clinched a first league win of the 2026/27 campaign against Hearts on Tuesday night. Having beaten the Jambos in the top flight for the first time in 18 years, the Bairns will hope to back up an impressive showing in their midweek match with another win.

Falkirk may be fatigued - having got off the mark in midweek - so St Johnstone will fancy their chances of beating the Bairns at McDiarmid Park this weekend.
