St Johnstone
Match Time & Date:

12:30 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Hibernian
Hampden Park will host the Scottish League Cup semifinal between St Johnstone and Hibernian. The Saints did well to beat the Hibs in the Premier League at the weekend, with Chris Kane scoring the only goal of the match. St Johnstone are after their first League Cup final since 1970 when they were beaten by Celtic in the title game. Boss Callum Davidson has a full squad to choose from, and he is likely to field the best possible side against Hibernian.
The Hibs are eager to get their revenge on the Saints, and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their first League Cup final since 2016 when they suffered a 2-1 loss to Ross County in the decider. However, away win should not be considered as Joe Newell, Ofir Marciano, Kyle Magennis, Sean Mackie, and Scott Allan are all sidelined with injuries. A close encounter is on the cards, and we are tempted to put our money on draw.
Highlighted Player (Jason Kerr):
Jason Kerr is a professional footballer who plays for St Johnstone as a defender. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on February 6, 1997, Jason Kerr is a product of the St Johnstone football academy. He started his senior career in 2014, and after ending his loan spells with East Fife and Queen of the South, he returned to the McDiarmid Park outfit in 2018.
He made his debut with the Saints in the Scottish Cup game against Albion Rovers on January 29, 2019. Jason Kerr has six caps with the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to receive a call-up for the senior team.
He scored his first goal for St Johnstone in a 4-1 defeat to Rangers on February 27, 2018. His primary position on the field is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing good displays as a central midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right, and he wears the number 15 shirt at St Johnstone.
Highlighted Team (Hibernian):
Founded in August 1875, Hibernian are the Scottish Premier League team that play home matches at Easter Road. The capacity of the venue is 20,421, and it was opened in 1893. The Hibs wear light green shirts with white sleeves and white shorts in home matches, while light grey is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Hibernian clinched their first Scottish league trophy back in the 1902/03 season, and they were the dominant force in Scottish football in the early 50s, securing three titles more from 1948 to 1952. The Easter Road outfit recorded their biggest win on September 3, 1881, with the team rolling over Black Watch Highlanders 22-1.
In February 1961, the Hibs suffered the biggest defeat in the club's history as they were beaten by Airdrie 11-1. Hibernian and Hearts face each other in the Edinburgh derby. The rivalry between the two clubs is considered one of the oldest rivalries in world football.
