St Johnstone could cement their position as Scotland’s second most successful team over the last decade. Not that they found it easy, they were pushed all the way to a penalty kick win last night to secure their place in the Scottish Cup semi-finals.
While Celtic have won 19 major trophies in the last decade, Saints are the second most successful club in the country with two wins. St Mirren or Kilmarnock, who play their quarterfinal tonight, could join them on two wins if they take the cup, as would Hibs, if they followed their 2016 success with a win this season, although Hibs tradition is to leave a respectful 114-year gap between Scottish Cup wins.
Apart from Celtic and St Johnstone there have been eight other flash-in-the -pan winners, seven of whom are solvent, not dependent on regular cash calls or in breach of Uefa Financial Fair Play regulations. I know it’s been a hard year but solvency always has the final say.

Ex Sheffield it’s manager
Utd
Best wishes TET
We are so far behind in everything we do, but it is all about the money.
Not my favourite football fans, but as an organisation Ajax are much to admire.
This cuts across much of my business, it is fascinating.

Agree – saw Brendan’s post-match interview on SKY. Class is the correct word. There is no doubt that Leicester will not be his final destination. I also read that he has been studying a couple of other European languages, perhaps an Italian, or, Spanish club next.
Winning the FA Cup & a place in the top four would rank as a fabulous season. Arsenal, Spurs and Man Utd will all be casting an eye towards him.
There are those on these pages who labelled him a “traitor” when he left, some still do. He is/was no traitor. We were lucky to have him as our manager, pity it was for such a short time.
