Strolling back to the year eighteen hundred and eighty-four, we will come across the birth of St. Johnstone. This team calls McDairmid Park, located in bonny Scotland, their home turf. This isn't merely a plot of land. Nay, it's more akin to a sacred ground, celebrated by many a boot and spectated by countless local loyalists.
Today's St Johnstone squad isn't merely a group of sprightly young men kicking a ball; they represent considerable assets. Indeed, their cumulative market value hovers around the handsome figure of £4 million, a tally not to be sniffed at, as valued by Transfermarkt.
St Johnstone's band of players isn't a revolving door of transferees. Nay, it's rather stable with a roster boasting of 18 lads, each gifted and ready for a skirmish on the pitch. Youth is on their side, for the average age reads a spry 24.
Many a club would be well content to participate in a singular competition. But St Johnstone, true to their ever-ambitious heart, have thus far participated in two separate events. They've shown promising start in the Championship, positioning themselves firmly at the top. Furthermore, they've asserted their presence in the League Cup, thus far progressing to the Second Round.
