Season 1924-25

By the middle of the 1920s Saints were achieving more consistency in their performances and 1924-25 was to be no different.

Davie McCrae continued what he had started at the tail end of the season by notching 29 goals, to justify the faith shown in him by Saints. One particularly good period for Davie was October and November when he scored in six consecutive matches, finishing up with four in a 4-1 win over Motherwell. Aided by his goals the team remained in 6th position for the third successive year.

The Scottish Cup also provided some cheer, for the first time in many years! Defeats of Peterhead (3-1), Ayr UTD (1-0) and Partick Thistle (2-0) saw a quarter final meeting with Celtic at Love Street. a record 47,428 people crowded into the ground to see the teams battle out a no score draw. The replay at Parkhead also ended in a draw, 1-1. Saints goal was scored by Douglas Thomson, on loan from St.Johnstone to replace the injured McCrae.

In the deciding match at Ibrox, a solitary Jimmy McGrory goal sent Saints out.
