Callum Davidson has appealed to swithering St Johnstone fans to reconsider boycotting Saturday’s Scottish Cup tie with Rangers.
The Saints manager says he would ‘half beg’ angry supporters to turn out and back his struggling side for a fourth round encounter at McDiarmid Park this weekend. Scores of punters are set to stay away following the club’s decision to hand three stands to visiting fans whilst also charging £30 for adult tickets.
Chairman Steve Brown issued a statement yesterday accepting ‘certain criticisms have merit’, but it is expected the club could post their lowest ever home attendance. Davidson, whose team have lost their last five Premiership matches, says he understands the frustration, but maintained his players need the support.
