Saints are on the road for one last time in 2024 as Stephen Robinson's men head to Dingwall on Saturday to face Ross County in our final away match of the year.
The Buddies head into the match following a dramatic 3-2 win away to St Johnstone last weekend. Killian Phillips' early goal gave Saints a well-earned lead, but second-half strikes from Makenzie Kirk and Benji Kimpioka put the Perth side ahead. 17-year-old Evan Mooney scored his first senior goal with two minutes of normal time remaining to draw Saints level before Roland Idowu's penalty in the ninth minute of stoppage time saw the points return to Paisley.
Saturday's win means Saints have won two of their last three away matches, having beaten Hibernian 2-1 at Easter Road last month.

Kick-off: 3pm

The Opposition
Ross County sit in ninth place in the William Hill Premiership - six points behind Saints who moved back into sixth after Saturday's win at St Johnstone.
Despite taking the lead through Eli Campbell, Don Cowie's side were beaten 3-1 at Easter Road against Hibernian last time out. That result came off the back of defeats at home to Rangers (0-3) and away to Celtic (0-5). Prior to that, County picked up an important three points when they won 2-1 at home to Motherwell in November.
It was stalemate when the sides met at The SMiSA Stadium last month in what has been the only meeting between the two so far this season. Greg Kiltie's first-half penalty was saved by County 'keeper Ross Laidlaw and neither side could make a breakthrough as it ended 0-0.
Toyosi Olusanya's late leveller saw Saints pick up a point on our last trip to the Global Energy Stadium. Jordan White had given the Staggies an early lead, but Olusanya came off the bench to rescue a point in a 1-1 draw in February.
