You can say that again, Rory.
As it stands, no team that has ever finished third or fourth in the Championship has managed to achieve promotion.

Melker Hallberg's eyes light up as the ball falls to him on the right of the box.
But the midfielder scuffs his attempt past the near post.

Fair play to Melker Hallberg. He's back on.
Liam Craig will have to wait.

Melker Hallberg is down after stretching to block a pass.
Looks like his time is up as Liam Craig gets stripped to come on for his final game.

Callum Hendry goes on a mazy, megging Sean Welsh before holding off Kirk Broadfoot.
The ex-Rangers centre-back then decides to scythe down Hendry. Easy booking.
CLOSE!published at 68 mins

Aaron Doran, you must hit the target - and you know it!
Moments after John Mahon's block from Wallace Duffy, substitute Doran takes the ball in a similar position and isn't under too much pressure.
But he drags it a yard wide. Huge, huge chance.

Full credit to Austin Samuels.
The Inverness forward hasn't stopped all night and wins his side a corner.
The set-piece drops to Wallace Duffy, whose effort is blocked crucially by John Mahon.

Another meaty challenge as John Mahon slides high through Austin Samuels.
He gets the ball but looks a bit naughty.
GREAT SAVE!published at 62 mins
St Johnstone 2-0 Inverness CT (4-2)
Much better from the visitors. Much, much better.
Snappy, one-touch play presents an opening for Austin Samuels, who drives one from the edge of the area.
But Zander Clark is down to his right to make another important save.

All the good attacking play we saw from Inverness in the first half has been non-existent after the break.

Whatever Callum Davidson has said at half-time, it's worked an absolute treat.
There's so much zip about St Johnstone now.

Cammy MacPherson
A big slice of fortune but St Johnstone will not care one bit.
Cammy MacPherson lines one up from range and beats Mark Ridgers via a huge deflection.
Caley Thistle need to come back from two down again.

Big test of character needed from Inverness now.
They did comeback in the first leg, though...
'Striker's instinct from May'published at 20:52 British Summer Time 23 May 2022

Stuart Kettlewell
Former Ross County manager on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageWhat a moment for Stevie May! What a moment for these fans - the place has erupted! It's excellent play from Brown, Hallberg should've finished it - it's an excellent save from Ridgers. But there is the natural, striker's instinct from May. He's on his toes, he's into it and he probably won't score an easier goal.
