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!

The bank crashed because of reckless bankers – and while Murray played a part in that he was not totally responsible.
No doubt the bank played roulette on many fronts and it is disgraceful that the people responsible remain at large and have not been adequately punished for their actions.
But Murray was to blame for Rangers getting liquidated and for that I am eternally grateful. What he achieved was virtually impossible. Still, he did it just the same and it remains his greatest achievement.
15’s got beat 2 nil by Arsenal then they beat Everton 2 nil in the Nike tourny. Just Man Cty to play later on today.

When I read recently that Glasgow City Council was going to put up a statue commemorating William Wallace, my first thought was, what about the rest of the Lisbon Lions? Talk about connections, Willie back in Scotland, in Glasgow even, on the weekend on the Champions League final on the 25th of May, and of the Scottish Cup final, the latter of which was won in part due to two goals from the great man himself. I know that because I can literally still remember listening to the game on the transistor out in the back garden. We couldn’t afford a greenhouse in those days.

Bhoys I could be hallucinating but Billy Dodds, John Robertson, Wilie Miller and Chic Young are waxing lyrical about our young Lions.
Had to be heard to be believed.

I’m in the garden a stone’s throw from Hampden, and the sun in Glasgow beats relentlessly
and tomorrow it will be a sea of green at the climax of an astonishing season * you know why *
Who from our dad’s, grandfathers and even great grandfathers would ever have dreamed that Celtic v Hibs would have been so eagerly anticipated, free from a blight on our game, that we suffered through paranoia, that turned to fact.
On a level playing field? – Despatched in the past Pat Stanton, Alex Cropley, Alan Gordon Jimmy O’Rourke Eddie Turnbull et all, Celtic make the Hibernian nemesis, and tomorrow we have some game, where every ounce of Celtic’s greatness will be required.
Nothing else will do CSC
well done JTT

I was a week away from my 10th birthday when we won in Lisbon and can remeber the march through the streets of Blackhill up to the Provy Inn. Big Mary Maule and her sister Theresa Rennie at the front with a big tricolour.
All the waynes outside the pub and every now and then someone would come out out with crisps and ginger for us all.
Great great days indeed.
