It was not long, however, before the significance of their triumph set in. St Mirren have never won the League Cup and the meeting with Hearts on March 17 will be only their third appearance in the final. On the two previous occasions – against Aberdeen in 1955 and nine-man Rangers just three years ago – a general consensus emerged that they had been unfortunate to lose.
