St Johnstone Bring Scottish Glory To Perth.

St Johnstone Bring Scottish Glory To Perth.

St Johnstone, FC of Perth, Scotland.

St Johnstone have lifted the Scottish League Cup for season 2020-21.

A great win for Callum Davidson, the manager, of St Johnstone.

St Johnstone beat Livingston in the final by one goal to zero at Hampden Stadium, Glasgow,

Shaun Rooney scored the winning goal for St Johnstone.

It is the first time St Johnstone have won the Scottish League Cup.

It is their second major honour after their Scottish Cup win in 2014.

Although St Johnstone have in the past also won 7 second tier titles, The Scottish Challenge Cup, the B Division Supplementary Cup, and two Scottish Consolation Cups,

It is a great day for the club formed in 1884.

It is the first Scottish major trophy to go outside of Glasgow Celtic, since Hibernian won the Scottish Cup in 2016.

I am including the Premier title, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup as the major Scottish trophies.

St Johnstone had beaten Hibernian, Dunfermline Athletic, and Motherwell in the knockout stages of the trophy to reach the final.

St Johnstone had also beaten Brechin City, Kelty Hearts and Peterhead in the group stages, Plus a penalty shootout defeat to Dundee United in the group stages.

Livingston did well to reach the final. They managed to beat Alloa, Airdrieonians, Edinburgh City and Stenhousemuir in the group stages. Plus they beat Ayr United, Ross County, and St Mirren in the knockout stages.

It was a tough final. Congratulations to St Johnstone, of Perth, Scotland.
