Turbulent week in Perth Ross County v St Johnstone (15:00)

Craig Levein's St Johnstone exit was followed by the news majority shareholder Adam Webb is being treated for cancer .

The owner still intends to lead the appointment of a new boss before taking medical leave, aiming to return in December.

In the meantime, caretaker boss Andy Kirk will lead the team at Ross County. A win in Dingwall could take the Perth side into the top six.

A victory for the home side, though, would move them level on points with fourth-placed Dundee United.

Levein 'surprised' by St Johnstone sacking Ross County v St Johnstone (15:00)

Craig Levein admits his sacking at St Johnstone came as a "surprise" and insists there were "no issues" with owner Adam Webb.

"Iâ€TMve been in this movie before and no doubt Iâ€TMll be in itagain, if I get back in," he says of his midweek exit.

"I do think performances have been good, results havenâ€TMt beenas a good as the performances

"Five sendings off didnâ€TMt help. And we had a few injuries. I thought the team was competing in every match.

"But itâ€TMs Adamâ€TMs club. Heâ€TMs calling the shots and heâ€TMs decidedthat itâ€TMs time for me to go.

"There's always a reason and not getting results is the most obvious reason there is."
