Saints travel to McMaster Park, Johnstone on Saturday to face Thorn Athletic in a noon kick off and may be reduced to picking up hitch hikers on the way to make up their numbers. Following last weekend's bruising encounter with Hillington AFC in the Jimmy Marshall Trophy Final Saints have no fewer than six players out injured. Added to that number are four unavailable due to work commitments.
Saints will make the journey with just 13 players including Graham Douglas and Allan MacKay both returning after long absences, and will hope to get through the match without any more injuries. Manager Iain Jackson and Coach Peter MacCallum will be taking their boots with them just in case.
Don't go via Lochgilphead!
Could Make The Bench 1
Having lost out in the title race to Postal United the match means little to Saints but is of paramount importance to Thorn Athletic. Defeat to Saints by two or more goals will see Thorn lose their relegation battle with Rolls Royce EK on goal difference and drop into Premier Division One.

Whatever happens Saints will glad to put this week behind them and re-group.
