St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright is pleased his side managed to fashion a goal out of nothing: "We produced the only real bit of quality in the game. To not play as well as we can and win, at this stage of the season is important. It's a vital win."

On moving above Hearts into fifth Wright said: "After last season I don't think many people would have thought that was possible. We want to get to 40 points as soon as possible. That's a good platform to kick on."

Massive 3 points especially with run of games coming up.

Pretty shit display but Joe & Jason were immense but Muzz is just about a one man team. Thought he started off slowly & thought he might not be ready but Tommy changed it & Muzz came into his own. The formation in the first half just didn't work.

Another clean sheet. I think we are way ahead on that score.

That was a superb three points, didnt play too well at times, Livingston a tough nut to crack.  They had the better ofthe  first 20 mins but we gradually played our way into the game. 

Liam and Jason were excellent.  Spoony better when he came over to the right first half.

Dundee doing us a wee favour, all aboard the choo choo for three more points in the capital.

Great squad at the moment.

Great win tonight...once again Saints find a way to get the job done! If.. and it's a big if...we win our game in hand we will only be 2 points behind The Rangers who have spent £14 million to get where they are!!:D

yep, it's against Celtic, so as big ifs go, this one is certainly contingent upon....

If I remember correctly Tommy uses 38 points as the lowest you need to get to avoid relegation usually. I think it will be a far lower total this season. 

it's pretty standard thinking that 40 points is safe. same in England.  but there's really not much between the 10 teams below the satan's stillborns. every team can get a result. it's actually an interesting one...

Most of the results definitely went our way last night. Move above Hearts and now 7 points clear of Livi and 8 clear of Hibs. IF we can get a result on Saturday then we will be in a very good position to seal top 6. COYS!!!!!!

Livingston playing Rangers, so a win for us  and either of them, would either have us 10 points clear of Livingston, or 2 points behind Rangers.

Think you’ll find there’s quite a bit between the teams in the league. The table gives an indication of how bad 3/4 teams actually are.
