Team news ahead of Saturday's Scottish Premier League clash between St Johnstone and Kilmarnock at McDiarmid Park.

St Johnstone welcome striker Rowan Vine back from a three-match suspension.

A late decision will be taken on the Aberdeen loanee Peter Pawlett, who is just back in training after recovering from a hamstring problem, but striker Craig Beattie is out with a thigh injury.

Callum Davidson and Jamie Adam remain on the sidelines with back problems, while striker Steven MacLean is still out after dislocating his elbow.

Kilmarnock goalkeeper Cammy Bell, left-back Jeroen Tesselaar and striker Paul Heffernan all returned to action for the under-20s this week following lengthy lay-offs, although they might not be ready to start at McDiarmid Park.

Garry Hay and Danny Racchi remain on the sidelines following knee surgery.
