On this day: St Johnstone win Scottish Cup

22 May, 20201. A date forever etched in St Johnstone history.

The Perth side completed a remarkable double as they edged out Hibs 1-0 at Hampden to win the Scottish Cup for the second time in their history.

Shaun Rooney climbed highest to head home the game's only goal after half an hour.

Glenn Middleton missed from the penalty spot for Saints, but they held on to lift the trophy.

The only thing missing was the fans, with the showpiece match played at an empty national stadium amid Covid restrictions.

The triumph saw the Perth side complete a historic cup double after they lifted the League Cup earlier that season.
