Visiting teams have often spoken of the need to show battling qualities when they step out at Celtic Park so presumably St Johnstone will be able to rest easy tonight knowing that they have a player who knows how to handle himself.

Alan Mannus, the St Johnstone goalkeeper, dabbled in mixed-martial arts as a teenager growing up in Belfast; training at the same club that produced future Irish champions.
His own aspirations never rose above sparring but that has not prevented Liam Craig from trying to arrange a bout between the goalkeeper and burly defender Frazer Wright. Debating who would win is only a wind up among team-mates, and a way of keeping spirits up ahead of a testing trip to face Celtic tomorrow.
