Saints braced for a Barney

ST JOHNSTONE have roared back to life in the last couple of weeks but face a test of title mettle today away to Dunfermline.

- 

Simo Valakari's men saw their commanding lead slip away during a run that saw them take just two points in three games.

But they responded with a 4-0 win at Morton then followed it up by beating Airdrie 3-0 in Perth.

A tougher afternoon awaits today though as they battle the inform Pars.

Neil Lennon's men have won three of their last four in the Championship to move into a playoff place.

They are offering more of a threat now than earlier in the season so I'm going to combine BTTS and over 2.5 goals at 148/100 with McBookie.
