Saints hungry for taste of more cup glory: Kerr

Jason Kerr insists St Johnstone’s Betfred Cup success has bolstered belief they can repeat it in the Scottish Cup. The 24-year-old defender became the first Saints skipper to hold aloft the Betfred Cup after the 1-0 final win over Livingston at Hampden Park in February.

Ahead of the Scottish Cup fourth-round clash with League One side Clyde at McDiarmid Park later today, Kerr spoke about targeting a cup double.

He said: “There’s definitely no reason why we can’t do that. The boys in the changing room all want to do well.

“We have had a taste of cup glory this season and we are all hungry to do it again.

“Ask any of the boys, they want to win the Scottish Cup and I feel we can do that. The Betfred Cup has given us a lot of confidence and it proved how well we are doing. We showed how good we are and how much character and ambition we have got and it is a massive achievement.

“It has sunk in what we have done but we are not done yet, we still have a chance to go and get more glory this season.”

If Callum Davidson’s men get past Clyde they face either Rangers or Celtic away, with the Old Firm rivals meeting at Ibrox tomorrow.

Clyde, second bottom in League One, are in the midst of a frantic fixture schedule.

Danny Lennon’s side lost 1-0 at home to Dumbarton on Thursday night and today’s tea time fixture will be their eighth in April so far.
