With Kilmarnock and Celtic making up the last four this is probably the best draw the Buddies could have had, but it won't be easy. Dunfermline wouldn't have made it this far if they didn't have some decent youngsters and they will obviously have home advantage for the match on March 24.
Saints secured their place with a fine 3-1 win over the Arabs at Tannadice on Tuesday night. Kieran Doran opened the scoring with a terrific strike before Anton Brady doubled the lead just before the break. Jordan Moore reduced the deficit early in the second half but with just over 12 minutes left Sean Kelly got the third to send the young Buddies through.
