St J achieved a fantastic cup double that other more fancied Scot clubs and their fans would've literally "killed for" in the same situation although no coincidence it was attained in front of no fans during a horrendous pandemic and subsequent lockdown conditions. They played in Euro footie at the beginning of the season, the same as Hibs, and I predicted that it was a distraction that could well scupper them in the latter part of the season, history tells us it has happened to other Scot footie clubs in the same position - never realised how prophetic that warning was to the extreme where they could be relegated though. And Hibs affected, not as badly, but bad enough to ruin the season!! Of course, don't forget St J's success meant selling some of their prized assets/players, no different from other clubs that have done the same things and taking the dosh - definitely affected by that move at the start of the season after their Euro aspirations were extinguished by Galatasaray(?) and never recovered!!
