  1. Confident Kanepublished at 25 mins

    Galatasaray 0-0 St Johnstone

    Great play by Chris Kane as he knocks the ball past Christian Luyindama and tries to get it back. The defender makes contact and Kane goes to deck.

    No free kick, though. Fair to say Kane disagrees. A quick water break now for the players.

    It can't be too much longer before Murray Davidson's in the referee's book. That's three fouls already. He can't get booked early

    First quarter done, and it's job done so far for St Johnstone. A couple of hairy moments, but crucially no goals conceded.

    Akturkoglu does well to jink to the by-line and put the ball across goal, but there are no takers for Galatasaray.

    Then Jason Kerr flicks the ball clear as another cross is swung in from the left.

    Saints are letting the ball come into their box a bit too easily, particularly from that side.

    Ooft, Murray Davidson goes close after great play by St Johnstone!

    A long throw comes in and it drops for the Saints midfielder, whose low shot is held pretty comfortably by Muslera. Much better.

  6. GREAT SAVE!published at 15 mins

    Galatasaray 0-0 St Johnstone

    Zander Clark beats away a header on target from Marcao as Galatasaray continue to press!

    A really good save by the Saints keeper. They'll need a big performance from him tonight.

    It's all Galatasaray at the moment, as you might expect. That St Johnstone back five are going to be tested to their limits tonight.

    Callum Davidson has got his men pushing up to press, though.

    It's an excellent cross, an excellent lay-off from Mostafa and St Johnstone are lucky again

    The home side go close again as Akturkoglu's effort from just inside the area comes back off the post!

    It was another cross from the left from Kara, and it was a terrific lay off to tee him up.

    Zander Clark reacted smartly to stop the rebound, but there was a flag up for offside anyway.

    Mostafa's got to score, he's simply got to score. He's got to burst the net. That's a big let-off for St Johnstone

    What a let off for St Johnstone.

    Kara whips in a cross, the visiting defence are static, and Mostafa is six yards out and smashes the ball over the bar.

    Got to score.

    What a night this is for St Johnstone. Cup hero and club legend Shaun Rooney has just stampeded up the right wing like a bolt of lightening (his hair is bleached blonde).

    Eventually loses the ball, though.

  16. How are Galatasaray shaping up?published at 18:55 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    Galatasaray v St Johnstone (19:00)

    Galatasaray missed out on reclaiming the Super Lig crown in agonising fashion last season, finishing level on points with Besiktas, who were one goal better off.

    That sent Fatih Terim's side into this season's Champions League qualifiers, but they were thrashed 7-2 by PSV Eindhoven to drop into the Europa League.

    Among those in their squad are former Atletico Madrid pair Radamel Falcao and Arda Turan, as well as ex-Liverpool winger Ryan Babel.

    Falcao and Turan start on the bench tonight while Babel starts.

    Last season's double-winning side are on the march.

    A Scottish Cup triumph against Hibernian has earned them a trip to one of European football's giants as Galatasaray await.

    So far, Callum Davidson has kept last season's successful side together. Can they spring a surprise?

    It's Sunday league stuff the goals Celtic are giving away. I know it'll get better, but they won't win anything defending like that. I don't like to be too critical, but I can't accept that kind of defending
