built 640 days ago
On another day, St Johnstone would have earned a replay or even won this contest. The First Division side threatened to consume Celtic in the same fashion as they did Rangers en route to the CIS League Cup semi-final.

Seven days later, St. Johnstone were pipped to the First Division championship by Gretna, who had led the division for the majority of the season. Saints won 4-3 at Hamilton Academical,[8] but James Grady scored an injury-time winner for Gretna at Ross County.[9] The results maintained Gretna's one-point lead and they achieved promotion to the Premier League. Gretna's caretaker manager is former Saints player Davie Irons.

Although St. Johnstone have had two relatively successful periods in their history, the club remains without any wins in national competitions to date, barring the Scottish Consolation Cup triumph of 1911-12. There have been two appearances in the final of the League Cup, losing first to Celtic 1-0 in 1969, and 2-1 to Rangers in 1998, with Canadian internationalist Nick Dasovic scoring for Saints. The club ... appeared once in the Scottish Challenge Cup final, losing 1-0 to Stranraer in 1996.

Rob Jones led his Hibernian side out in front of a packed Tynecastle Stadium as Hibernian and St. Johnstone met in the Semi Final of CIS Insurance Cup in front of the BBC Cameras. Hibs made two changes from Saturday’s home win over Motherwell, with Stevenson and the departed Thomson out to be replaced by Shiels and Beuzelin.
