But their preparations took a hit after supporters launched bottles and stones at the empty coach before picking up the players.

The damage was visible on the coach as footage showed players getting on board from the Hilton hotel in London.

The Saints secured their spot in the final after a 2-1 aggregate win over Boro in the semis.
