Callum Davidson reveals freak Zander Clark injury as St Johnstone win extends nine year Hibs run

Callum Davidson admits all eyes are on Scottish Cup glory after Glenn Middleton's first half strike maintained St Johnstone 's nine-year unbeaten run at Easter Road against Hibs.

The Perth boss also revealed keeper Zander Clark is a doubt for next Sunday's Hampden clash against St Mirren due to a freak injury to his BIG TOE as he became one of seven changes to their starting line-up.

It's now seven trips to Leith and counting without defeat for Saints and Davidson was delighted with a win which underlined his options for their semi-final at the national stadium.

He admits Clark did some damage in the aftermath of his penalty shoot-out heroics in the quarter-final against Rangers.

“I’m not sure what happened with Zander, I’ll need to investigate that further," he said.

“I think he got himself involved in the celebrations and someone stood on his big toe.

“Hopefully it’s not too bad. We will need to see how it settles down next week.

“It shows the depth we have and I was pleased with the players I could put on and the players who came in were excellent and worked extremely hard.

“I probably did have a team in my head but people have now put question marks in that.

“That is good for me and makes it more difficult for me. Hopefully we will get through this week in training and everyone stays fit and healthy and we can look forward to Sunday.

Hibs have a real attacking threat so for us to come to Easter Road and limit their chances was the most pleasing thing today."
