Tommy Wright says if St Johnstone are able to finish between Rangers and Hearts in the Scottish Premiership table it will be their best season yet in Scotland's top flight.

The Perth club currently sit in fourth place, six points ahead of Hearts and nine behind Rangers with three games remaining.

Wright says coming between two clubs with a much greater budget than St Johnstone would be an incredible achievement.

"You could argue because it's a 12-team league getting fourth isn't the same kudos as getting fourth in a 20-team league," he said.

"But the league has been stronger this year. We've got really close to Rangers, we're only nine points behind.

"And with the amount of money they've spent, and Hearts have spent, for us to split them, if we can do that, then it's probably been our best season ever in the league.

"We've still got work to do before we can guarantee fourth place so we'll not relax."
