Route to the final
St Johnstone
| Round | Opposition | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 3rd | Dundee (A) | 1–0 |
| 4th | Clyde (H) | 2–0 |
| Quarter-final | Rangers (A) | 1–1 |
| Semi-final | St Mirren (N) | 2–1 |
As a Premiership club, St Johnstone entered the competition in the third round (last 32). Their first opponent was a Tayside derby at Dens Park against Championship side Dundee. An early goal from Guy Melamed and Zander Clark saving a penalty gave Saints a 1-0 win.[2]
In the fourth round they were drawn against League One club Clyde at home. Early goals from Melamed and Michael O'Halloran gave Saints a comfortable 2–0 win.[3]
The quarter-final saw the team travel to Ibrox Stadium for a match against league champions Rangers.[4] A goalless 90 minutes forced the match into extra-time. James Tavernier appeared to have won the tie for Rangers with a goal late in the second half of extra time, but St Johnstone forced a penalty shootout by equalising during added-on time at the end of extra time.[4] Their goal was scored after a header by goalkeeper Clark, who had come forward for a corner kick, was redirected into the goal by striker Chris Kane.[4] Clark then saved two Rangers penalties in the shootout, which Saints won 4–2.[4]
St Johnstone were then paired with Premiership club St Mirren in the semi-finals. After a goalless first half, Chris Kane and a Glenn Middleton free-kick gave the Perth side a 2–0 lead midway through the second half. Despite a header from Conor McCarthy pulling a goal back for the Paisley side, St Johnstone held on to win 2–1.[5]
Hibernian
| Round | Opposition | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 3rd | Queen of the South (A) | 3–1 |
| 4th | Stranraer (A) | 4–0 |
| Quarter-final | Motherwell (H) | 2–2 |
| Semi-final | Dundee United (N) | 2–0 |
As another Premiership side, Hibernian started in the third round of the Scottish Cup. In that round they played at Championship side Queen of the South. Goals from Christian Doidge (2) and Martin Boyle gave Hibs a 3–1 victory, with James Maxwell scoring a consolation goal for Queens.[6]
Hibs were drawn away again in the fourth round, against League Two side Stranraer. Goals from Doidge, Kevin Nisbet and Boyle (2) gave Hibs a 4–0 victory[7]
The quarter finals had Hibernian drawn at home (Easter Road) with Premiership side Motherwell. Second half goals from Doidge and Jackson Irvine gave Hibs a 2–0 lead, but late goals by Ricki Lamie and Tony Watt forced extra time. The additional period finished goalless, forcing a penalty shootout that Hibs won 4–2.[8]
This meant they took on Dundee United in the semi-final at Hampden Park. Goals from Nisbet and Doidge, the latter of which was scored from an offside position, gave Hibs a 2–0 win.[9]
Background
Hosting
The final had been originally scheduled for 8 May 2021, but was delayed to 22 May due to rescheduling of earlier rounds caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[10] The pandemic and building works ahead of the Euro 2020 tournament led to the Scottish FA initially stating that spectators would not be allowed into Hampden, control of which is being passed to UEFA on 14 May for Euro 2020.[11][12] Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack told BBC Scotland on 10 May that he would make their Pittodrie Stadium available for the final, as it could admit at least 500 fans.[11] Rangers, Celtic, Hearts and the Scottish Rugby Union had earlier rejected approaches from the Scottish FA for the use of their stadiums.[13] On 11 May it was reported that UEFA had accepted a request from the Scottish FA to admit fans to Hampden.[12] Scottish Government rules regarding the pandemic for areas in Level 2 mean that permission would be needed for any crowd in excess of 500.[12] 600 fans were initially permitted,[14] but this decision was reversed after the government decided to keep Glasgow in Level 3.[15]

St Johnstone entered the third qualifying round of the 2021–22 UEFA Europa League.[16]
