Rumour Mill: St Johnstone | Sutton | Locke

Saint Johnstone have waited 130 years for the chance to win this cup and yesterday they grabbed it with both hands, beating Dundee United 2 - 0 in a hard fought encounter. Steven Anderson and Steven MacLean scored the goals that allowed the saints to lift the Scottish cup for the first time in their history. Manager Tommy Wright was delighted, he said: “It’s a football fairy tale that is the beauty of the Scottish cup. The FA cup in England has lost its magic but I don’t think the Scottish cup has. That is why, when everyone was wanting Dundee United and Aberdeen in the final I didn’t. I thought the real story was us and that proved to be the case. To get the Scottish cup, our first major trophy, words can’t describe how I feel.” (Various)

Sutton goes bust

Celtic hero Chris Sutton has filed for bankruptcy after accruing massive debts, the former Celtic striker, 41, apparently owes more than £300,000. The problems began when the star and his wife were stung by crooked accountant Simon Grinter who talked them both into investing £50,000 before Grinter was exposed as a fraud and later jailed. It is thought the majority of the debts belong to his investment company the Chris Sutton consultancy. It is a harsh turn around for the star who was once Britain’s first £10,000 a week football star. (Sun)
