St Johnstone’s Premiership triumph has been rejected*

“We don’t score enough goals and we don’t keep enough clean sheets. That’s a pretty bad recipe to have.”

If ever there was a quote that sums up the 2023/24 St Johnstone, it’s this one.

Ryan McGowan didn’t know whether to be shocked or not after another upturn in the Perth club’s season proved to be a false dawn.

Two goals conceded to Kilmarnock from crosses into their box and some huffing and puffing at the other end made for a hugely frustrating afternoon at McDiarmid Park on Saturday.

Asked if he was surprised at this latest dip, McGowan said: “Yes and no.

“It’s the reason why we are where we are in the league. We’re not consistent enough.

“It’s not acceptable.

“Harsh words were said at half-time and at full-time but I’ve been around the block for long enough to know that those words aren’t really relevant.

“You need to perform on the pitch and keep to a certain standard.
