Take a bow son! Steven MacLean rifles the ball home from eight yards, giving Zibung no chance and St Johnstone have a crucial away goal.

We're back under way in Switzerland!

BBC Scotland's Jim Spence in Switzerland

"Don't want to count chickens but St Johnstone look like they really know how to play the European game. Under pressure yes, but very comfy."

The sun is splitting the sky and I'm wondering whether it's acceptable/advisable to have more than one ice lolly in 24 hours?

That Feast from earlier seems like a long, long time ago...

"Lucerne have looked lively but by no means world-beaters; Saints can match them here."

Despite being on the back foot for long spells, St Johnstone will be happy with their lot as they head up the tunnel at the break with the first leg still goalless.

Lucerne continue to press for the opener but, despite forcing four corners in quick succession, Alan Mannus hasn't been beaten in the St Johnstone goal.

We've got a minute plus added time at the end of the opening 45 minutes and 0-0 would make the slice of orange all the sweeter.

"We want a good performance tonight, we want to be on the front foot and get at them."

"Saints' Dave Mackay shoots from a Wotherspoon free kick but Zibung saves for corner 0-0 with 32 minutes gone."

It's warming up nicely in Switzerland. The hosts hit the crossbar as they search for the breakthrough but Tommy Wright's men respond through skipper Dave Mackay and he steers a Wotherspoon cross into the arms of Zibung.

St Johnstone are beginning to find their feet and show greater attacking intent after a cautious start. No clear-cut chances for either side and we remain goalless after 15 minutes.
