St Johnstone v Aberdeen
It's the 99th league meeting of the sides and Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee admits his side need to win at McDiarmid Park to have any hope of a top-six place.  Saints have lost only two of their last eight Clydesdale Bank Premier League games however they haven't won any of the last nine meetings of the clubs and went down 2-1 to Aberdeen in the last league meeting at Pittodrie in November. Dons only have long-term crocks Andy Considine and Peter Pawlett missing and Davide Grassi returns following suspension. St Johnstone's Martin Hardie faces cruciate surgery and they also have Steven Anderson, Peter MacDonald, Stuart McCaffrey and Kevin Rutkiewicz unavailable but Graham Gartland is back in the squad after missing the win at Falkirk with a virus.
