Two minutes left now.
St Johnstone look tired. But Hibs look out of ideas. Saints have a free-kick in the Hibs' half.
The tension...
Five minutes addedpublished at 90 mins
St Johnstone 1-0 Hibernian
The brief stoppage we had earlier for Zander Clark and Shaun Rooney's collision means we have FIVE added minutes.
Will there be a twist?

Willie Miller
Former Scotland defender on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageIf you look at the chances in the second half, it's four good opportunities for St Johnstone. You throw the penalty in as well, this game should be out of sight. Hibs are still in it very fortunately. It would have to be something special, they haven't shown that they're capable of producing anything special so far in the game.

Martin Boyle rightly booked for diving in the St Johnstone box. Desperate stuff from the Hibs winger.
He'll cringe when/if he watches that back.

Ryan Porteous goes in the book for a swipe at Chris Kane. Not a great afternoon so far for the Hibs defender.

Seven minutes plus stoppage time. St Johnstone closing in on a monumental domestic double.
Hibs need to find a spark from somewhere.

Ryan Porteous gets his head to a free kick, but Zander Clark saves comfortably for St Johnstone.
Shaun Rooney has had to limp off. Will his goal be enough? James Brown replaces him.

Former Scotland striker on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageCould it be the turning point? They needed a bit of luck, Hibs. St Johnstone should really be scoring. It would've been 2-0 and probably game over.

Willie Miller
Former Scotland defender on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageIt's a good save. It's hit with a lot of power. Macey is equal to it. You think, 'a little bit of composure' but that's where Chris Kane lets himself down. The opportunity's gone. That could've put this Scottish Cup final to bed but it's still well alive.

Has anyone ever mentioned how tall Matt Macey is?
Glenn Middleton gets plenty of power on his penalty, but Macey gets down brilliantly to keep it out.
Chris Kane has to score the rebound. Puts it far too near the keeper. How crucial could it all prove?
Hibs still need a goal!
GREAT SAVES!published at 15:31 British Summer Time 22 May 2021
St Johnstone 1-0 Hibernian
INCREDIBLE!!
Matt Macey keeps Hibernian in this final! He gets down to his left-hand side to deny Glenn Middleton from the spot, and then somehow keeps out Chris Kane on the rebound.
NOW, will that spark something from Hibs?!!

Ooft, Glenn Middleton goes close again! He and Chris Kane combine, and he rifles a shot goalward, which Matt Macey beats away.
That would have all but won the cup for St Johnstone.

Still waiting for a Hibernian response here. Bizarrely timid so far. Is it in the post?
St Johnstone are a threat on the break, still.
