This week's Spoony Chop sees Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton welcome a special guest in ex-Saints star Ryan McGowan. Off the back of another defeat, this time to Motherwell, the guys discuss Simo Valakari's defence and whether the team will come good. Aussie internationalist McGowan also opens up on his shock departure from McDiarmid Park in the summer, gives quick-fire views on former team-mates and reveals why his two years as a Saintee were so precious to him.

On this week's edition of the Spoony Chop - the Courier's new, weekly St Johnstone podcast - things get 'philosophical'.

'The Spoony Chop' is the Courier's new, weekly St Johnstone podcast - and what better way to kick-off than by getting stuck into the superb, come-from-behind win over Dundee. 

In episode one, regular panellists Eric Nicolson, Stuart Cosgrove and Sean Hamilton discuss the new manager's rapid, transformative impact at McDiarmid Park, whether it can be maintained and who looks like playing a key role.

It’s an international break so it’s time for Dundee and Dundee United to take a breather.

Dundee United are heading into the international break in fine fettle after a rousing 1 - 0 win away at Hearts.

Three wins on the spin, three clean sheets in there and sitting pretty in third.

Meanwhile, Dundee were disappointed not to get the better of St Mirren after some poor defending - can they sort that out?

And is Scott Fraser coming in?
