Remember

-

midfielder, who was already aloft in the air and in the arms of Clark.

Saints danced and danced and danced until finally being led back into the away dressing room. The music was turned up and the dancing continued with the tune of Discoland by Flip & Fill proudly echoing for anyone wishing to listen.

When the volume was eventually turned down a couple of notches, perhaps then it would start to sink in what was achieved. Rangers had been near enough invincible this season. Yet Saints are the ones going for the double.

Apologies if this reporter is rambling. But now a word for Callum Davidson. Surely, surely, a frontrunne­r for manager of the year.

Take away the results, the League Cup win, top-six finish, Scottish Cup semi-final. Pure and simple he has St Johnstone set up impeccably. The way they press, sit in when required and work as a unit. And when in possession, this team can play. Absolutely no doubt about it.

Davidson is a class act. And he loves the Perth club. He celebrated the late equaliser like any fan who has followed Saints from the darkest times of Division Two to the highest of highs.

His post-match interview was to the point and the focus back on what can be achieved next. Not much, to be honest.

It may be quite difficult for Davidson and his group of humble stars to realise the important role they have played in such a tough and concerning year outside of football.

The coronaviru­s pandemic has changed the footballin­g landscape we all love and adore.

Supporters were still unable to attend this historic night and were forced to watch from their own homes.

But when life returns to a sense of normality, there will be one almighty party in the city of Perth to celebrate a season like no other.

And it’s not even finished yet.
