In-form Andy has final goal
Andy Jackson has made an impressive scoring start to the season and the St Johnstone teenager is looking to stay on the goal trail in tonight’s Challenge Cup semi-final away to Morton (writes James Masson).
He’s on a high following his brace on Saturday at home to Hamilton Accies in the league and, having scored one and won the penalty from which Paul Sheerin notched the other in Saints’ 2-2 away league divide against Morton recently, Andy has no fear about facing the men from Cappielow again tonight.

“Having scored there the other week, I’m looking to do so again tonight,” said the Denny-based youngster.

“We have a chance to reach the Challenge Cup Final and we aim to be there.”

The Perth men are still without long- term injured duo Kevin James and Steven Milne, and Martin Hardie is also still out.

Martin also won’t make this Saturday’s away league game against Livingston.

Saints team boss Owen Coyle commented, “Martin’s injury is improving, but it’s a slow process. He won’t play tonight or on Saturday.”

Injury also rules Jamie McCluskey and David Weatherston out tonight.

For Morton, who felt aggrieved at not leaving Dens Park on Saturday with at least a point, they go into the game without the injured trio of Chris Millar, Michael Gardyne and Dean Keenan, while Iain Russell is cup-tied.

Meanwhile, Owen confirmed Saints inquired about former player Simon Mensing, now at Motherwell, before the transfer deadline.
