There were a few chances and the biggest came at the most important time for St Johnstone and Chris Kane to equalise. I think that Tommy Wright realised that that was his cup dream over - once Kane missed it, the water bottles were booted

Three wins from three [for Ross County] and they're looking good. They grew into the match and got stronger as the game wore on.

Ross County look a good bet for the next round but Forfar Athletic are just three points behind with a game in hand, so we can't rule the The Loons out...

St Johnstone looked short today, they probably need a couple of new players. Maybe a centre-back and another midfielder

Time is running out for the hosts... Scott Tanser does well to whip in a lovely cross but Callum Hendry gets his feet in a muddle and can only divert it wide with an awkward touch.

It's a great run and brilliant piece of play from Ross County. He elects to cut it back but there was no-one there

St Johnstone 1-2 Ross County
Ross County full-back Sean Kelly does so well to win the ball back with two crunching tackles in quick succession then he charges up the park and has Ross Stewart screaming for a pass but he undoes all his good work with a scuffed pass behind his team-mate.

It should be 2-2, let's be honest. Chris Kane knows that's a great opportunity missed
GREAT SAVE!published at 77 mins
St Johnstone 1-2 Ross County
Or is it a bad miss? A bit of both.
Chris Kane is clean through with just Ross Laidlaw to beat. The Saints striker goes for power and the keeper does well to hold on to it at the edge of his box.
Manager Tommy Wright is fuming on the touchline, sending a bag full of water bottles splashing off in all different directions with an angry kick.

It's closer than it looks. Liam Craig tucked it away but the flag was up nice and early

Liam Craig spins away to celebrate after squeezing in a shot from a tight angle but there's an offside flag fluttering much to the Saints midfielder's disbelief.
