Rangers v St Mirren final goal-less at half-time
Deadlock yet to be broken at Hampden
No one was predicting a goal-fest at Hampden and a tight encounter has certainly been the order of the day in the first half.
As has been the case between the sides on a number of occasions, St Mirren have had the better of the early proceedings. Rangers are usually able to keep the Buddies at bay and then apply the sucker punch so this is not a total shock.
In the final ten minutes of the half, St Mirren will look back on the following moments and wonder why they never scored:
Neil Alexander’s save from Steven Thomson
Dave Barron rattling the cross-bar
Michael Higdon hitting the ball into the side-netting
So often, St Mirren, and teams like them take the game to Rangers but lack the composure to put the ball into the back of the net. The Paisley side can be very happy with how the first half was went but they are likely to have a nagging feeling in the back of their mind about not taking their chances.
Both sides have a lot to think about at half-time and this Cup final remains very much in the balance.
Hugh Murray picked up the first booking of the match although television evidence indicates that Craig Thomson got this decision wrong whilst Steven Whittaker joined Murray in the book for a foul on Graham Carey
Who will clinch the cup?
