St Johnstone 0, Celtic 5 - April 20th, 2025
Boring Celtic dulled their way to ANOTHER Scottish Cup Final scoring five (FIVE) tedious goals............yadda yadda yadda
A reminder this is the only place you will get all the player and team detailed game data for Cup matches in Scotland. None of the free to air vendors cover the Scottish League and Cup competitions.
St Johnstone restricted Celtic to long range efforts for over half an hour before errors crept in and the Cup holders capitalised.
Not playing on a tattie field also helped as Celtic went all ballistic for eleven goal laden first half minutes to end the contest.
Bhoy of the Match was tricky with one player bossing the ball progression from the back with 30 pack passes and seven progressive runs.
Another became the 10th player in my data collecting time to record three assists in one match.
And another maintained a stellar season with the second highest packing score, two goals and generally top stat production.
But sometimes it is what you do in the key moments when the game is still balanced with jeopardy. Stat padding is common in such paddlin’s and it is what you produce when it mattered that needs to be remembered.
So it is in this game.
