St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright is looking for more happiness against Hibernian when he takes his in-form side to Easter Road on Saturday.

Since losing 6-0 at home to champions Celtic, the Perth men have beaten Motherwell, St Mirren and Livingston to move into seventh place in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

Saints are unbeaten in their last four matches against Hibs, picking up three draws and a victory and in their last trip to Leith in November, 2017, a late Steven MacLean goal gave them a 2-1 win and Wright is looking for another positive result against Neil Lennon’s men.

The Northern Irishman told the club’s official website: “Since they’ve come back into the top flight we’ve had a decent record against them and hopefully that will continue on Saturday.

“It’s the first game in the next round of league fixtures so we’re looking to get off to a positive start.

“We know what Hibs are about and we know they have quality. Neil has a lot of options available to him and I know that he likes to change things up.

“They’ve played a diamond formation this season and they’ve played 4-3-3. There’s an element of unknown to how they’re going to set up but we’ll be prepared for all eventualities.

“Ultimately it comes down to how we play and if we perform well we can come away with a result.”

Wright believes he has the ability to mix his selection and formation up to keep Hibs guessing.

He said: “I think with the squad we have now I also have a lot of options to choose from.

“We’ve got full-backs who can play as wing-backs, wingers who can play off the striker and against Livingston on Wednesday night, we even had Jason (Kerr) step up to play as a holding midfielder in the last 10 minutes.

“We’ve got a lot more flexibility and it means that I can make changes to shape, formation and personnel more easily during games. We’re definitely a lot less rigid now.”
