St Johnstone beat Dundee United 2-0 at Celtic Park on Saturday to win the Scottish Cup for the first time in their history in front of a crowd of 47,345.

Steven Anderson, in his testimonial year, headed the Perth side in front from a David Wotherspoon corner in first-half stoppage time and Steven McLean forced the ball home with seven minutes left to seal a memorable victory.

Tommy Wright's men earlier had a Stevie May effort disallowed for handball while United duo Ryan Dow and Nadir Ciftci were both denied by the woodwork.

St Johnstone can now look forward to a place in the Europa League qualifiers come July as they celebrate clinching their first major trophy.
