Where are they now: Hibs team that beat St Johnstone in League Cup semi-finals in 2007
The most recent encounter ended in a 2-1 victory for the Capital club thanks to Jason Cummings’ penalty and John McGinn’s winner while in the first meeting the Easter Road side needed extra time to squeeze past the Perthshire Saints.
Two managers, one financial advisor, and a couple of strikers still playing. Here’s what the players from that 2007 victory are up to these days…
