Connor McLennan highlighted St Johnstone’s strength in depth quality following Saturday’s dramatic comeback victory in the Highlands.The 23-year-old was one of three Perth subs who helped flip the script and turn the threat of defeat into a pleasing victory against Ross County.Ali Crawford’s quick-fire double after home defender Jack Baldwin’s straight red card has hoisted Saints to fifth in the Scottish Premiership and just one point off third place.McLennan, who is on loan from Aberdeen, enjoyed the celebratory scenes with the 398 supporters in the away end.He said: “It was a really tough game as we knew it would be.“Obviously the sending off has changed it and we’ve made a few subs which impacted the game.“I’m just buzzing to get a win for those travelling fans because it is a long way to come.“That is what you play for, trying to get the three points and seeing the reaction of the fans at the end was brilliant.“All you can do coming off the bench is to try and make an impact on the game.“I think the subs did that on Saturday and it showed the strength in depth the manager has brought to the club.“We had such a strong bench and we still have a few to come back from injury and suspension.“We’ve got a lot of new players but we still have some who have been at the club for a long time.“They have interrogated everyone and made it feel like home.”McLennan was quick to have a run at the Ross County defence and ensured Saints used their man advantage wisely.

When the leveller went in, it remained full speed ahead in a bid to grab the winner.“I went over to wing-back and Drey (Wright) went to centre-back,” McLennan laughed. “That shows how attacking we were and it paid off in the end.“And we know Ali (Crawford) has that
