May double books final date for St Johnstone

St Johnstone 2 — 1 Aberdeen

Stevie May killed off St Johnstone’s semi-final jinx as his double confirmed a 2-1 win over Aberdeen and booked the Perth men a place in next month’s Scottish Cup final.

Niall McGinn had slotted Derek McInnes’s side ahead after a quarter of an hour at Ibrox.

But when Adam Rooney failed to take a second chance soon after, the League Cup holders blew their best chance to claim the trophy double they had been longing for.

That left it down to 25-goal May to make himself the hero. He levelled the match after an hour before firing the famous goal which sent the McDiarmid men into their first-ever Scottish Cup final, ending a seven-match losing streak in last-four clashes in the process.
