  1. PENALTY APPEAL

    Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    St Johnstone captain Jason Kerr wants a penalty as he is grappled to the ground by Marvin Bartley from a corner.

    They were probably both at it, but Bartley nearly ripped the shirt off his opponent.

  2. 'Too quick for Kane'

    That was the cup right there, that was a huge chance. It's a brilliant save from McRorie and I think it just comes at Kane too quickly for him to react.

  3. 'Not sure how Kane didn't score'

    Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    That was St Johnstone's best move of the match. It's a great reaction save from McRorie but Kane just needs to get anything on it, I'm not really sure how he hasn't scored.

  4. GREAT SAVE!

    Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    So close to a second goal for Saints.

    Ali McCann drills a low pass into the feet of David Wotherspoon and his shot is kept out by the leg of Robby McCrorie. The rebound falls to Chris Kane right in front of goal but the striker can't knock it in.

  5. KICK-OFF

    Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Here we go again at Hampden.

  6. 'Predictable from Livi'

    HT: Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    I understand that Livingston want to stop Rooney but I think by having Bartley out there it's taking more away from Livingston. It's all been a bit predictable from them so far.

  7. 'Livi will really have a go'

    HT: Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    I think we'll see a better second half because if it remains the way it is Livi will really have a go. They were the better team in the first half, I don't know if what's at stake is having an effect on the players.

  9. Rooney revels on the cup stage

    HT: Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Shaun Rooney, the Bellshill Cafu, has been a big player for St Johnstone this season and that's his third goal in this competition.

    He scored in the draw with Dunfermline, with the Perth side going through on penalties.

    He crashed in a header in the semi-final win over Hibs and now he's gone one better.

  10. 'Martindale will be frustrated'

    HT: Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    David Martindale will be frustrated because Livingston have been the better team and created the better chances but to concede a goal from a set-piece on an occasion like this is criminal

  11. HALF-TIME Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    The scoreline is a bit harsh on Livingston but it was a cracking header from Shaun Rooney and St Johnstone are in the driving seat at Hampden.

  12. Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Shaun Rooney is full of confidence after that goal and now the big wing-back has a crack from 30 yards.

    Plenty of power on it but a comfortable save for Robby McCrorie.

  13. ouch!

    Ouch!

    Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Efe Ambrose is in distress as a sliding challenge from David Wotherspoon catches his standing leg and it looks like his knee has been jarred.

    Referee Don Robertson sees nothing wrong with the tackle, awarding St Johnstone a throw-in.

  14. 'Livingston reacting well'

    Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Allan Preston
    BBC Scotland summariser on Sportsound

    Livingston's reaction has been good. Martindale is a very proactive manager so if they can't find a way to equalise before half time I think he'll change it.

  15. Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Livingston are in behind the Saints defence on a rapid counter-attack but the pass for Scott Robinson is overhit. The striker is able to cut the ball back for Josh Mullin but he is squeezed out by two defenders as he gets a shot away.

  16. Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Uh-oh, a wee scare for Saints as keeper Zander Clark races to the edge of his area to head clear. The ball pops straight up in the air and the keeper gets the job done with a second header.

  17. 'Livingston will feel it's unjust'

    Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Allan Preston
    BBC Scotland summariser on Sportsound

    I don't know why Bartley isn't the one watching Rooney for the corner and I don't know why there isn't someone at the post. Livingston will feel it's unjust - they've been the better side here.

  18. 'Brilliant header'

    Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    It's an absolutely brilliant header. The delivery is good but there's still so much for Rooney to do, it's behind him and he has to completely out-muscles Guthrie.

    GOAL Livingston 0-1 St Johnstone

    Shaun Rooney

    Well, well. Saints have been pretty ropey so far but now they are in front thanks to a simple goal from a corner. Craig Conway pings in the delivery and Shaun Rooney is first to, holding off Jon Guthrie to power in a header.

    Robby McCrorie almost gets fingertips to it. A defender on the front post would be clearing that...

  20. Livingston 0-0 St Johnstone

    Almost half an hour gone and I'm not sure St Johnstone striker Chris Kane has had a touch. Not a meaningful one anyway.
