Tommy Wright on Scottish Cup draw
30th November 2016
Saints boss Tommy Wright has given his reaction to Monday night's Scottish Cup 4th round draw at Rugby Park which handed St. Johnstone a home match with either Forres Mechanics or Stenhousemuir on the weekend of 21/22 January 2017.
The Northern Irishman said: “I’m delighted to get a home draw and it gives us a good chance of reaching the next round but we’ll give full respect to either Stenhousemuir or Forres Mechanics, whoever gets through.
“But that’s on the back burner for now - there’s a lot of games between now and then and the one factor we will have to deal with is that there is a three week winter break ahead of that tie and that will need to be managed properly.”
This Saturday St. Johnstone are at home to Inverness CT in the Ladbrokes Premiership with a 3pm kick off.
