St. Johnstone Viaplay Cup

Premier Sports Cup Semi-Final Key Players - St Johnstone

Looking ahead to Saturday's Hampden Park showdown, we take a look at who could provide the spark for the Saintees!

Zander Clark
One of the Premiership’s top performers so far this season, Zander Clark has been key to St Johnstone’s success over the last 12 months. Clark has prevented more goals in the top-flight than any other keeper this season, and has been rewarded for his fine form with a well-deserved Scotland call-up. Blessed with lightning-quick reactions, his performance against Dundee United in the cinch Premiership earlier this season showcased all the very best of Zander Clark’s game.

Shaun Rooney
For anyone else, “I Love the cup competitions, easy!” might feel quite a bold statement, but for a man who scored the winning goals in both the League and Scottish Cup at Hampden, he can back it up. The Saints full-back continued his remarkable record in the cup competitions by adding another to his tally against Dundee in the quarter-finals to seal a spot at Hampden. A rampaging full-back, with seemingly endless energy, it’s his ability in the air at Hampden which has been pivotal in St Johnstone’s success.

Ali Crawford
The former Accies man arrived at Saints in the summer and is having a growing influence on the team. Netting his first goal for the club in their quarter-final defeat of Dundee to secure a return to Hampden, Crawford looks to be returning to his best at Saints. A player who adds craft and guile among the steel of the Saints midfield, his wicked strike and set-piece delivery may be key in another Saints success at Hampden.
