Steven Gerrard is still suffering from premature celebrations.
In December 2019 he was screaming into the cameras of Sky Sports after a win at Celtic Park before his side buckled under the pressures of expectation. Celtic romped the SPFL by 13 points with Global pandemic saving Gerrard from the consequences.
After a season of incredible luck stretching from red cards to penalties via inspired VIP test results from an East Belfast laboratory it looked like luck had again visited Mister Gerrard yesterday as James Tavernier headed what looked like a 116th minute winner against St Johnstone.

End of video clip for big celebrations
In the dug-out Gerrard couldn’t hold back as he air punched in front of his backroom team as his Scottish Cup drought looked about to end.
Amazingly within 10 minutes the dream was over for another year, St Johnstone joined Aberdeen and Hearts in crushing the Hampden dreams of the former Liverpool captain.
Zander Clark headed in the equaliser off the boot of Chris Kane then saved penalties from Tav and Kemar Roofe. And it was all over for Gerrard as he congratulated Callum Davidson who is now looking at a cup double in his rookie season in management.
