St Johnstone defender Matty Foulds credited high standards in training for his successful return to the team in a 1-0 win at Aberdeen. Making his first appearance in two months, the 28-year-old helped the Perth side secure their first clean sheet of the William Hill Premiership season. Foulds stepped into a makeshift back three alongside Dan Finlayson and Liam Smith due to personnel shortages.
