And a plucky Saints' team finally "undone" by Ryan Christie who was sorely missed v Copenhagen on Thursday night. Saints probably didn't deserve this defeat but remember this is a record 34th consecutive domestic cup win for the Hoops and they know how to "grind out" a result even though the Saints definitely had the scoring opps to cause an upset this afternoon. Anyway, the Hoops are now "hot favs" to lift this cup and attain another domestic "treble" following Rangers embarrassing "rank rotten" performance/defeat v Hertz at Tynecastle. IMO, barring injuries, Celtic now have no Euro distraction and they will become stronger as the season draws to a close and so many decent players fully recover from their injuries to find their best form.

Thought saint Johnstone did well but Celtic did miss a lot of chances.....but they found a way to get the job done. Thats what you have to do,especially in the cup.

The boy McCann looks a real prospect for saints btw. Good player.
