| St Johnstone warmed up for their Clydesdale Bank Premier League campaign in style with a 5-0 win at Stenhousemuir in the Co-operative Insurance Cup. Derek McInnes' strikeforce were in top form as Steven Milne struck a brilliant opener and both Kenny Deuchar and Collin Samuel hit doubles. New signings Danny Grainger and Filipe Morais helped create four goals between them as Stenhousemuir struggled to deal with cross balls. Murray Davidson and Dave Mackay also made competitive debuts in the comfortable first-round win at Ochilview. Milne had the first sight of goal in the 19th minute when he stretched to hook wide Liam Craig's free-kick into the box but he lit up the contest three minutes later. The striker collected the ball 20 yards and dipped a shot with the outside of his right boot over Chris McCluskey and into the top corner. Saints keeper Alan Main had to look lively to palm over crosses from Scott Dalziel and Pat Scullion but the visitors moved two ahead in the 28th minute. Deuchar laid the ball out to the right wing for Morais and met the resulting cross from six yards, guiding his header down and into the net. St Johnstone stepped up a gear midway through the half. Samuel, who replaced Milne early in the second period, dived to head home in the 67th minute. Deuchar grabbed his second three minutes later. Grainger overhit a cross but Craig just managed to keep it in and head it back across goal for the former Gretna striker to hook home. The hitman turned provider for Samuel's second in the 75th minute when he nodded down Grainger's cross for the substitute to volley into the corner from 15 yards. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
