Quote MessageHibs can't seem to get any rhythm, can't pin St Johnstone back, not really creating any chances, rushing things, trying to rush it forward - it's not just a case of getting it forward, you've got to get it forward with quality.
St Johnstone 3-0 Hibernian
No headed goal from the set piece as Hibs keeper Ofir Marciano, like a grizzly bear swatting at a salmon, comes to collect the corner.
Hibs are running out of time to get back into this tie and keep their League Cup hopes alive.
St Johnstone 3-0 Hibernian

Saints then hit Hibs on the counter, Shaun Rooney forces a corner.

Quote MessagePaul Hanlon is just sleeping, he doesn't know where Craig Conway is.
Craig Conway
That could be that. St Johnstone turn the tables on Hibs, hitting their opponents on the counter. They work the ball wide and Craig Conway fires a low cross home at the back post, stealing a march on Paul Hanlon.
St Johnstone celebrate; Hibs boss Jack Ross looks on, bewildered.

St Johnstone 2-0 Hibernian
Jack Ross must be wondering what his Hibs side need to do in order to find the net. Time and again they've forced Zander Clark into a save but each time their bearded tormentor has held firm.
Throw in hitting the woodwork twice or failing to profit from a promising position or two, and you find yourself two goals down in a cup semi-final.

St Johnstone 2-0 Hibernian
St Johnstone, two goals to the good, have floored Hibs in this League Cup semi-final tie with two incredible headers. Shaun Rooney's effort followed Jason Kerr's thunderous goal, to leave Callum Davidson's side riding the crest of a wave.
Hibs must be wondering what they have to do to turn their possession into a goal.

Quote MessageIt's a great delivery, a great free-kick, but what a header, an absolute bullet header. He's burst the net. The power was unbelievable
Shaun Rooney
What. A. Goal. St Johnstone double their lead with another thunderous header.
This time it's Shaun Rooney who rises to meet a free kick and send his effort beyond the despairing Ofir Marciano.
The net stopped the ball from bouncing down the street in Mount Florida.

We're back under way at Hampden. Will St Johnstone see this out to book their place in the League Cup final or do Hibs have something up their sleeve?

Quote MessageThis - even by Hibs standards - this is something. They had five reasonable chances, dominating the game, completely on top, St Johnstone offering very little, and they get sucker-punched.

A majestic header. Reminiscent of a Hernan Crespo or Gabriel Batistuta effort...
