Perched in the heart of Scotland, St Johnstone Football Club remains a venerable institution, tracing its roots back to 1884 and creating a legacy as enduring as their home place at McDiarmid Park.

The present worth of The Saints, as they are affectionately known, struts at around £3m in total market value, according to the reliable metrics from Transfermarkt.

The team itself currently consists of 17 hardy players, their average age barely dusting the charts at 24 years. No doubt these lads bring to the game the vigour of youth, complemented by raw talent.

This season, St Johnstone's resolve has been put to the test in no less than three separate competitions. A peculiarity worth noting is their enviable first place standing in the Championship, testament indeed to their formidable prowess. Oniating were it not for their unfortunate elimination at the second round level of the League Cup and the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup.
