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!

His nickname is “Bassie/Bassy” . He is a good mate, not seen him in a while but expect him to make an appearance at some point today.
Alex Miller just gave Celtic alot of credit for their season on SSN…. Good luck to all today, sure we will be fine.

My memory of the 6-1 final is hazy but we didnt have tickets and they opened the big side gates to let people in. We were 4-1 up and my dad took us out as he had arranged a lift. Then a thunderstorm started and i can remember sheltering under atree on kings park avenue hearing roats as celtic scored two more. Oh for that scoreline today

thomthethim, There was a mythical treble talked about earlier in the year, Celtic to be Champions & Thatcher & Paisley to go to their eternal rewards. Your post just reminded me of it.
Live updates article will be up at 14:30. Could someone leave a note here?
Thanks.
BBC Scotland ‘cup final flashback’ – how many goals from the dead club?
I’ll go for five.
If any CQN’ers are in Cape Town I will be in Mitchell’s ordering my first beer around 3pm.

Ah, of course.Silly me!
Watching the game last night, I thought I was being greedy in hoping for a Dortmund, Celtic and Donegal treble.
So, I would be happy to settle for the remaining double.
If pushed for a single…..then, sorry Donegal, but there’s always the back door!
I think my clock is broken, the minute hand is only moving every third minute.
Watched the CL final on Sky Italia.
At one point the commentator said – “If Bayern win tonight and then go on to win the German Cup, they will become only the seventh European club to win a domestic double and the BIG CUP in the same season. Of course the first to achieve this were CELTIC in 1967!”
Well said Massimo!
No Big Cup for us this year – but a domestic double will do!
Cmon the Hoops!
3-0!
HH!!
Kerry & Tipp are on the Box at 2pm, just a small bit of a distraction that might help the minute hand to cop itself on.
Love cup final day, even without a ticket, c’mon the hoops!
Since the introduction of officials in games all over Europe I think i can remember one incident when they influenced the referees decision(Arsenal),what odds today being the second :((
Mon celtic make the officias irrelevant, Kris Commons to run riot

The White Bear on Kennington Park Road.
Kennington tube on the Northern Line about 15 minutes from central London.
Come out of the Tube Station and turn left. The pub about 100 yards away on opposite side of the road.

Thought you were off your Nat King there………celibate.
as soon as I posted it just didn’t look right ,old age is catching up
Some Country we live in, where a football manager needs a Bodyguard…. Scotland’s shame
No doubt Collum, Madden and the rest of the cheating incompetents today will be receiving their instructions!
Will big Peter be sitting next to RC Ogilvie in the VIP box?
HH!!
I see that three former Celtic strikers of note will be at the Final today.
Henrik, Pierre and Jorge.
A few goals amongst that lot!
SRS – thanks mate, but think they would prefer to stay more central.

The London No.1 CSC, the Cock, at the back of Euston in Summerstown

Glad you caught the train and had a good night.
Went in too quickly. I was in a lousy mood when that alarm went off at half-seven this morning right enough.
Go on you Celts, make my day.
Celtic Mac – cheers for that mate.

It was good of UEFA to have the Champions League final done and dusted before the major show piece final in Domestic Football – The Scottish Football.
You know the way when we’re not in the final and when the Old Rangers didn’t make it either they called it a ‘Family Final’ – well, see the way it’s us and Hibs today – I think they should be calling this the Immigrants Final and celebrating ethnic diversity in Scotland…..
I must be bored before the cup final if that’s the best I can come up wth today….
but hey ….. the sons and daughters of Eireann battling it out for SIlverware…… Weather’s good…… all’s tickety boo…..
