Melker Hallberg determined to avoid repeat of relegation pain as 'favourites' St Johnstone steel themselves for play-offs

Melker Hallberg says that St Johnstone are favourites to prevail against Inverness and retain their Premiership status.

THE sting of relegation is one that Melker Hallberg knows only too well, and the St Johnstone midfielder isn’t exactly keen to experience that feeling again.

Both he and his team are in danger of doing just that though, with their Premiership status now wholly contingent on coming through two games against Inverness Caledonian Thistle as the victors.
