  1. Davidson into the foldpublished at 64 mins

    St Johnstone 1-0 Hibernian

    Here comes Murray Davidson for St Johnstone. He replaces Craig Bryson in midfield.

    What a moment for the Saints hero. Missed their Scottish Cup final win in 2014, and the League Cup final earlier this season through injury.

    He's on now, and will do his utmost to get his team over the line.

    He's up there on his own, chasing lost causes. Great work from Chris Kane, as he's done all game

  3. Saints on the counterpublished at 61 mins

    St Johnstone 1-0 Hibernian

    A crucial header there from Hibernian's Ryan Porteous. Chris Kane is played in down the right-hand channel, and his cross was heading for a blue shirt until the centre-back's flick clear.

    Both men are up and fine to play on. Good stuff.

    Coming up to the hour mark. Can Hibs find something from somewhere, anywhere?!

  5. Concern for Saintspublished at 57 mins

    St Johnstone 1-0 Hibernian

    Some concern here for St Johnstone as goalkeeper Zander Clark and scorer Shaun Rooney are down.

    Clark came out to punch the ball and did so, but clattered his teammate in the process.

  6. Murphy on for Hibspublished at 55 mins

    St Johnstone 1-0 Hibernian

    Jack Ross is going for it here, he has to. Jamie Murphy is on for Alex Gogic.

    Hibs' corner.

    Hibs haven't changed anything in terms of shape but their attitude's been much more forward thinking. Perhaps St Johnstone have opened up a little bit as well

  8. Good tempopublished at 53 mins

    St Johnstone 1-0 Hibernian

    A good tempo to this second half. Christian Doidge heads over from a Hibs corner.

    Incidentally, Hibs' penalty claim was definitely not a spot-kick. The ball comes off Jason Kerr's knee as he blocks a shot. Good decision from referee Nick Walsh.

    From one end to the other with that. Glenn Middleton does well, his driving run surging through the middle of that Hibs defence. Desperate tackles. Falls to Rooney, deflection, corner...

  10. End-to-end!published at 49 mins

    St Johnstone 1-0 Hibernian

    What an incredible passage of play!

    Hibs are screaming for a penalty for handball at one end, don't get it and St Johnstone race up the other end!

    Glenn Middleton surges through the middle, Joe Newell tackles him brilliantly and Shaun Rooney has the chance to double the lead, but his shot is superbly blocked.

    What a chance.

    A very good start to the second half for Hibs and St Johnstone wide open there. I don't think Kevin Nisbet's caught it sweet enough. A really good opportunity.

  12. CLOSE!published at 46 mins

    St Johnstone 1-0 Hibernian

    A good early chance for Hibs. Jackson Irvine cuts inside and finds Kevin Nisbet racing down the right, he gets into the box and goes for the far corner, but his effort is wide.

  13. KICK-OFFpublished at 15:02 British Summer Time 22 May 2021

    Here we go. 45 minutes for Hibs to salvage this. Or St Johnstone to win a cup double...

  14. Changes for Hibs?published at 14:59 British Summer Time 22 May 2021

    HT: St Johnstone 1-0 Hibernian

    Jack Ross must be considering shaking up his midfield. Been a bit too pedestrian so far. Maybe Magennis, Murphy, or Hallberg to add some impetus?

    If you're Callum Davidson, you are going to be pinpointing that area because it is a mis-match

    Thoughts on that first half? I must say, I thought Hibs looked a more confident team in recent weeks, but they look pretty timid out there.

    Not even a second of added time. Advantage St Johnstone.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 44 mins

    St Johnstone 1-0 Hibernian

    Hibs' Jackson Irvine is shown the first yellow card of the match by referee Nick Walsh. He ploughs through the back of Glenn Middleton.

    No complaints.

  20. Quiet Hibeespublished at 42 mins

    St Johnstone 1-0 Hibernian

    Hibs haven't quite turned up in an attacking sense. We've barely heard a mention of Kevin Nisbet so far. St Johnstone are comfortable defending their box for the moment.
