James McPake’s absence tomorrow will be a blow to Hibs and a significant boost to Celtic. Hibs are short on cover in all areas and McPake, their captain, is an instrumental component in their defence. Celtic are without the suspended Victor Wanyama but they are far better provisioned all over the field, especially in central midfield.
Do you remember the good old days when a football club would be able to spin a load of old tosh to the media, who would report to an incredulous public? This is far more difficult in the multi-channel internet age.
The BBC yesterday reported the headline “Former chief executive Charles Green is cleared of having close links with former Rangers owner Craig Whyte”, although the article itself proclaims a less ambitious “will be cleared”.
All fine and good, but I scoured several articles on this subject for mention as to whether or not the Rangers International internal investigation considered evidence from both sides – the key fact in this story, but one which was missing from reports. Fortunately an Internet Bampot stepped in to help all those in the media. I’m away to check all the updated reports reflecting the new information……
Willie Wallace will be signing copies of his autobiography from 2pm until 4pm at Waterstones on Sauchiehall St. Get your Cup Final weekend off to a Lisbon Anniversary start!

For weeks I’ve been brimming with confidence and deep inside I have a feeling we’ll win comfortably but at this present moment it’s a feeling of desperation that’s taking over!!

Sure I know that but I’m also acutely aware of how poor we’ve been on occasions this season.
I’m just pleading for a win at this point but it’ll pass :-)

Thought you were off your Nat King there………celibate.
A wee mention for Cowiebhoy for his company, generosity and hospitality.
A truly great night amongst fellow Tims, the spirit of our club lives on in men like him. Thank you.
For those who accompanied me on the bus home…….. You really must learn the words to the Sammi song :-)
Morning all.
Raging hangover.
Struggling to hold this phone.
12.30 off to the game.
Cannae wait.
We will inflict another deep wound to the SFA and other hurting Huns by winning the cup.
3 nil the day
Easy

Agree with everything you wrote. But this group of Celtic players are the Champions and our club has the Greatest tradition in the Scottish cup.
The support will hopefully be right behind the team and get things off to a good start for us all. Nervousness, off the park can transfer onto it.
I’ve been too pre-occupied with how I’m going to get a ticket to worry about trivial things like the result.
Morning troops in the hoops

Neymar snubs Spivco for Barcalona.
Last September after my mum died and we were faced with the difficult task of clearing out her house one of the things I found was a Celtic scarf that I had bought her about 10 years earlier to keep her cosy when watching the football on the TV. Today, that scarf gets it’s first outing to a live game and will be round my neck as I’m at Hampden to see Celtic lifting the Scottish Cup for a record 36th time.
Kris Commons to be the main man today.
Still no rain yet although clouds showing no signs of shifting.
Celtic to make history again by being the first ever club
to win the Scottish Cup on a Sunday.
Off topic Tom English SoS today.
‘Rangers have become a bit of a freak show.
Ibrox is now and Odditorium.’
‘To be in London this past week
was to live in a parallel world where football means football
and not insolvency experts, spivs and venomous chancers.’
C’mon the Hoops, 3-0 today, Hooper, Commons, Sammi. Off out to cut grass.
Hail! Hail!
Hamiltontim
You should try homemade mojitos and lots of beer
Heed like stairheed
Your sentiments are at one with mine …..just bloody win
Heading into the town ( merchant city) for the game ….you in later
Been out and about in the east end this morning, taking the dog for a long walk, seen a few of us doing the same thing, got speaking to a man in Ally park, he was telling me that he couldn’t get a ticket, was feeling a bit sorry for him, then he says it wouldn’t
bother him if hibs won,
quick exit of the park, didn’t want to fall out with him, me thinks, thank Fek he never got a ticket,
to many so called Celtic fans falling for this media propaganda,
Happy Celticing
Sipsini
Good luck to your daughter. Well done to her.
3 1 hoops.
Scorching here in the Shropshire countryside. Been in the garden since 5 am. BBQ and cup final. Luvvly.

Just don’t understand that some would countenance losing to anyone. Even that bastardized line in the chant “Bring on the Spaniards by the score Barcelona, Real Madrid etc……..rankles with me. All the more galling given our recent results.
Soju get a mega hangover with modern Japanese whiskey?

G64/VP-You guys in Vogue for opening time?
It`s been a long season and hopefully the team will finish it off in style today. Okay, I feel nervous but that`s not always a bad thing. :-)
Come on the Celts!

Morning Bhoys and Ghirls
Had a meeting with Sir Tom Farmer (hibs owner) he tells me that when Hibs last won the cup in1902 they had an Irish manager.
They hav’nt had another until; Pat Fenlon.
sent a wee shiver down my spine, but went to Willie Hill and put Celtic 4-0 Commons first goal. Hail Hail have a great day everybody COYBIB Paddybhoy
!!Bada Bing!!
If i know VP we’ll be waiting for the doors opening.

The first Scottish Cup final I went to was V Aberdeen in 67, when Willie Wallace wrapped in up with two goals, just before and after half time.
A similar scoreline would suit me fine today, although the crowd today will be a fraction of the 126,000 forty six years ago.
However, thanks to satellite TV and internet links exiles like myself will be able to follow every kick of the ba’ whereever they are all over the world.
Anybody got an idea how many Celtic fans will see the game today (serious question)?
