Match preview
Will St Johnstone give themselves half a chance of getting through to the knockout stages?
Callum Davidson’s side won both cup competitions in 2021, including this trophy for the very first time 17 months ago.
However, this time round, the Saints are on the brink of falling at the first hurdle.
On Tuesday night, they beat Elgin City at Borough Briggs; Adam Montgomery, Melker Hallberg, Stevie May and Cameron Ballantyne scoring.
In order to have any chance of getting through, they must win this one, pip Queen of the South to second, and then hope eight points is enough.
Thus, the Saints not only need all three points, they require a healthy margin of victory.
Ayr United meanwhile are almost certainly out following a penalty shootout defeat to Annan on Tuesday.
This leaves the Honest Men on just four points, but they’ll be targeting a Premiership scalp.
Will the 2021 winners crash out in the group stages at McDiarmid Park?
