Jackie McNamara's Dundee United are looking to keep up the hard work they have done throughout all of this season. With the long run of thrashing teams with 4 or 5 goals every week before the festive period, however the team fell a bit during the festive period. It has been a mixed season for the team and they hoped that they were back to winning ways after the fantastic 5-0 win over Inverness CT, then the fantastic performance and team effort in the Semi Finals. Are Dundee United able to go all the way and win the Scottish Cup for only the 3rd time in their 105 year history? Saturday, May 17th will decide that.

Tommy Wright's St Johnstone, have also had a mixed season. However, thanks to striker Stevie May they have been able to get great wins over many teams. This young talent will be a threat to Dundee United as he has been over the past few times that the sides have met in the Premiership. Through their cup run the team has had a mixture of wins, winning the Fifth Round and Quarter Final, however two tough games at the start and the Semi Final proves that they will be a massive threat to Dundee United. This is the first ever Scottish Cup Final for the club in the clubs 130 years. Are they going to have their first taste of silver ware on the 17th May?
The question now is who is going to lift this famous trophy in such a massive derby? Dundee United or St Johnstone
