Clark hopes new year brings change in fortunes for Saints

Nicky Clark hopes the new year will deliver an upturn in St Johnstone's form after a difficult 2024.

The Perth side are winless in their last seven games and sit bottom of the Scottish Premiership with 15 points from 21 games.

They delivered a 1-1 draw against Hibs last time out despite playing the majority of the game with 10 players, and Clark thinks there are positives to take from that performance and result as they prepare to play Dundee on Sunday.

"Obviously, at home, we want to get as many points as possible," Clark told Saints TV.

"We were looking to get three points on Thursday, unfortunately we never got the three, but with the circumstances of going down to 10 men, them scoring and it being backs against the wall for the last 15 minutes, whatever it was, a point was big for us.

"The results recently haven't been good enough. It's been tough, but it's a fresh start to a new year. We got a point on Thursday and we'll take the benefits from that into Sunday. It's a massive game, another one at home and one we need to go and win."
