Fisher shines in shock triumph over Celtic
Swansea City goalkeeper Andy Fisher enjoyed his best day yet as a St Johnstone player as he helped the Scottish Premiership club to a shock victory over Celtic on Sunday.St Johnstone were given little chance of claiming victory as they hosted Brendan Rodgers' champions-in-waiting.But the division's bottom club stunned the leaders thanks to a goal from Daniels Balodis – and a number of fine saves from Fisher."There were a lot of good performances, starting from the striker all the way, of course, to our goalkeeper. You need in these matches to make saves and Andy Fisher made those saves," said St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari.Fisher has made 12 appearances for St Johnstone – missing only one game so far, through illness – since joining on loan from Swansea in January.The former MK Dons player has not played in a league fixture for Swansea since Russell Martin's final game in charge, which was in May 2023.He spent the 2023-24 campaign as back-up to on-loan Brighton keeper Carl Rushworth, then picked up a significant injury in a friendly before the current campaign began.As a result, Swansea brought in Jon McLaughlin to provide competition for new number one Lawrence Vigouroux, which meant Fisher was allowed to move to Scotland in search of some first-team football.The 27-year-old is under contract at Swansea until the end of next season.

Max Kucheriavyi blasts St Johnstone in astonishing Ukraine interview as freed midfielder admits he felt lost on pitch
Freed St Johnstone midfielder Max Kucheriavyi has lashed out at the penny-pinching Saints and insisted relegation was inevitable. The Ukrainian star was released at the end of the season after five years with the Perth club following their relegation. And, in an interview in his homeland, he's lifted the lid on his chaotic final couple of years with St Johnstone. Kucheriavyi claimed he was frozen out after he refused to sign a new deal and reckoned he didn't even know which direction he was supposed to be running on the pitch at times because of a lack of communication. And the 23-year-old insisted their drop this year was always on the cards. He said: 'In my opinion, relegation this season is the result of the direction in which the club has been moving for the last two or three years. By 'club' I mean not only the playing part, but everything in general in the whole system. 'I believe that starting from scratch is the best thing for a club that needs restructuring and a change in culture. 'The club tries to save on absolutely everything, but it has always been like this during my time with the team, and unfortunately, this has led to the result that we are seeing. 'I hope that the relegation will be a springboard for a reboot and the club will be able to change this culture. 'I was always interested in a positive result for the team and in making the maximum contribution to achieving this result. 'But there was a total lack of communication with the coaching staff. I didn't feel like I was progressing and learning new things. 'Sometimes I didn't even understand the direction in which to move. In addition, the team was fighting for survival throughout the season, which also didn't help. 'At some point a dialogue began about extending the contract. To which I refused. For me, this was a key moment in my relationship with St. Johnstone, because after it, I felt that the attitude towards me changed a lot. 'There was a lot of dissatisfaction with me and criticism, both justified and unfounded, in my opinion. Over time, there was less playing time.' Kucheriavyi only played six games last season season and was completely bombed out after January. He explained: 'Even after the new head coach (Simo Valakari) arrived, I was constantly reminded that I was 'unhappy' at the club. 'I played well the entire match against Rangers where I made an assist, yet I did not play in the next match at all, 'Someone suggested the reason I played three times in January was because the club wanted to sell me, but I will not comment on that. 'You would have to ask the club why 20 players left this season. Apparently, if someone didn't want to extend their contract, the club didn't want to continue cooperating with them. 'In January, when we got new players, there were so many that I wasn't even included in training sessions with two teams. 'But overall, I don't look at my time at St Johnstone as a bad time. It was a difficult time, but it certainly wasn't a bad time. 'On the contrary, I am grateful for all the people and circumstances that happened to me during all these years in Scotland. Thanks to them, I gained a lot of experience and grew as a person and as a professional.'

How Celtic-bound Doohan and Ralston fared in Scotland win
The right-back played until the 48th minute and played his part in George Hirst's first strike for the national team, playing a fine first-time ball into the box that Che Adams flicked on to the Ipswich Town forward. Between the sticks, Doohan had little to do. The goalkeeper could have easily played the game on a deckchair, given the number of forays forwards Liechtenstein had. Read more: It is understood that Doohan has agreed to rejoin Celtic this summer, replacing Scott Bain as the Scottish Premiership champions' third-choice keeper. Steve Clarke revealed what he told Doohan before he made his Scotland debut this evening: "Go out and do what you do and be the goalkeeper you are, that's all you can say," revealed the national team boss [BBC Scotland]. Scotland now turn their attention to World Cup qualifiers, which kick off in September with a trip to Copenhagen to take on Denmark. Kieran Tierney, who has agreed a pre-contract to return to Celtic this summer, was absent from the Liechtenstein victory, alongside Scott McTominay: "Scott [McTominay] and Kieran both came into camp carrying some little issues over from the season," said Clarke. "So I think if we had a longer turnaround between the games, they might have had a chance, but listen, it's the end of the season for those two. 'The most important thing is to have a good rest over the summer and come back flying in the autumn.'
