Kerr has the belief in cup double for Saints

St Johnstone captain Jason Kerr insists their Betfred League 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 League Cup after the 1-0 final win over Livingston at Hampden Park in February.

Ahead of the Scottish Cup fourth-round clash with League 1 side Clyde at McDiarmid Park 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 ambition we have.”
