Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at McDiarmid Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 4' The deadlock is broken! Ashton Taylor gets on the scoresheet on 4 minutes.
  • 9' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Johnstone FC that had 256 games and scored 252 goals.
  • 14' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 19' St. Johnstone FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Fowler Josh scoring 1 goals.
  • 24' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 29' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His St. Johnstone FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 34' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Alex Mitchell suffering a number of foals already.
  • 39' Ryan McGowan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 44' A quiet spell here at McDiarmid Park. St. Johnstone FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 46' Liam Donnelly has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lewis Mayo on 46 minute.

  • 61' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Red card for James Brown.
  • 65' St. Johnstone FC ring the changes. Nicky Clark has done his job and it is now time for Connor McLennan to step up.
  • 65' James Brown has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 65.
  • 70' St. Johnstone FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Kilmarnock FC's shape.
  • 73' David Wotherspoon is replacing Graham Carey for the St. Johnstone FC side.
  • 74' Fraser Murray has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rory McKenzie on 74 minute.
  • 75' Time for substitution for Kilmarnock FC. Kerr McInroy is replaced by Ryan Alebiosu.
  • 80' Liam Donnelly has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 85' Danny Armstrong is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for St. Johnstone FC tonight.
  • 88' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Connor McLennan.
  • 90' Stevie May was booked on 90.
  • 90' The St. Johnstone FC manager makes a substitution. Stevie May departs to be replaced by Thelonius Bair.
