Jayden Stockley left Kieran Tierney rolling about in agony and didn’t give a hoot … he should’ve seen red
Gordon Parks believes the Aberdeen striker knew exactly what he was doing but overall Derek McInnes should be proud of the performance his players gave him.
The Record GORDON PARKS
Forget offering Jayden Stockley the benefit of the doubt, he knew what he was doing when he slammed a forearm into Kieran Tierney’s mouth.
A player with a reputation for jagged elbows was at it again.
It was delivered with sinister intent and was a red-card offence.
The Dons striker dislodged a few teeth and left the teenager in need of some emergency dental care as Tierney’s Cup Final ended after just half an hour.
It was also telling that Stockley didn’t approach the stricken Hoops defender to show a bit of concern – he didn’t give a hoot.
But it was a first half where Aberdeen’s tactics and approach were expertly deployed at the National Stadium.

They didn’t give their opponents a minute’s peace, denying Scott Sinclair and Patrick Roberts the freedom to torment them on the flanks.
Celtic were always going to be hard pressed to repeat their 3-0 League Cup win over the Pittodrie men.
And pressing was the name of the game as Scotland’s second best went about their business with breathless relish.
I stood a few yards away from Derek McInnes moments after the Dons boss had suffered a 3-1 league defeat to the champions earlier this month.
His eyes narrowed and he almost spat out the words.
The Pittodrie gaffer said: “It needed to be a performance where they knew we were there. They felt us, they knew we were making contact, they knew we weren’t going to get pushed aside. We took them on.”
He insisted his side would be ready for the final and was true to his word – but their game plan wasn’t just about high-tempo pressing and damage prevention.
Aberdeen created plenty of chances as they took the game to the champions and Jonny Hayes put them ahead from a well-worked corner.
But the sign of a good side is the ability to respond and Stuart Armstrong did just that 90 second later as he levelled for the Hoops.
till, Aberdeen had announced this final was to be no Treble-winning formality.
If the first half had been decided on points then the Dons had edged it, the better side by a nose in what was becoming one of the most engrossing and entertaining Cup Finals in an age.
But as the second half wore on it was more like a heavyweight boxing crown was at stake as fatigued Aberdeen fell deeper and deeper against the ropes.
They were out on their feet as the clocked ticked down but continued to bob and weave, somehow preventing Celtic from landing a decisive blow.
Then Tom Rogic intervened to ensure the Invincible tag and triple crown was theirs – it was a cruel sucker punch on an Aberdeen side which had taken Celtic the distance.
The build-up had been all about the Lions and ended with the most historic of Hampden roars. Immortality now beckons for Brendan Rodgers and his players, most notably Rogic.
Frank McGarvey was my team-mate at Clyde and once told me he blacked out in the seconds following his headed Scottish Cup winner for the Hoops in 1985 against Dundee United. He recalled falling to his knees as a sea of green and white surged towards him on that boiling hot May afternoon.
It was to prove a career highlight and if Frank had died there then he’d have departed the scene a happy man.
Joe Miller’s another old mate who talks of his winner at Hampden in 1989, Roy Aitken’s throw-in that shouldn’t have been and all that.
The elation of it all is described by the former Celt in such spine-tingling detail.
The fact he was born along the road from Parkhead made it even more
poignant, as did being chased home from school by bullies who were Rangers fans.
It all added up to make the moment that much sweeter.
Rogic was born far further afield but the Aussie now knows that feeling of racing towards a blanket of fans on the Hampden slopes and being bathed in a most glorious moment.
His winner was as immaculate as the season has been for Rodgers and his squad.
G.G.(Invincible)
Thanks for posting link to full Brendans presser.
Interesting that he said Celtic had one bad training session all season and it was on Thursday. He cut it short. He thought players were maybe in celebratory mood, well done Brendan, again !!! Look how Chelsea played yesterday, to me they were still in celebratory mood and Arsenal turned them over good and proper.
I also McInnes’ presser, to be fair he was clearly disappointed but still praised Rogic and Celtic. However, it’s the press, once again, they were so sycophantic towards him, not one tough question. They asked Brendan about Stockley on K.T.but not McInnes.
Today we are still invincible.
Hail Hail
Scott Brown: This is the best feeling I have had as Celtic captain
The Herald: Neil Cameron
SCOTT Brown, still in full kit, put down a half drunk bottle of beer as he began his media duties. It would not be his last drink of the night.
Aside from playing in a major international tournament, Celtic’s captain has now done it all. The treble was the only thing missing, he said so himself, and he now follows in the footsteps of Billy McNeill and Paul Lambert.
Not only that, but his team didn’t lose a single game all domestic season. That’s 47 games.
The 2-1 win was oh-so Celtic. This is a club with a history littered with such drama. They didn’t let down their supporters down at Hampden.
“It’s the best feeling I have ever had,” said Brown who was almost bouncing as he spoke. “From start to finish we knew the game was going to be hard and Aberdeen did come at us and they did really well but luckily for us we have that quality in Tom Rogic right at the end.
“That showed our fitness. They had a lot of pace on the counter-attack and in Jonny Hayes they have a phenomenal player who is so quick and we were a little worried about that.
“What I would say is the lads in that dressing room are a very close bunch. It doesn’t matter if they are Scottish or from elsewhere, we all stick together and that showed in the celebration.”
So was there ever any doubt?
“As soon as they scored! It was a great finish by Jonny, it was something they clearly had worked on in training, when he’s managed to finish when they rest of them have ran to the front post to create space for him.
“We then go straight up the park and score right away. Stuart Armstrong scored and he’s been doing that all season for us. Stuart has scored, created chances and has driven us on from midfield. It was a great finish for by him.
“The fact it went down to the last minutes today sums us up. But when you go back to that first game in Gibraltar, I don’t think anyone would have expected this; for us to go all the way through the season undefeated and to win three trophies. That’s phenomenal.”
Brown being Brown couldn’t resist going to the Aberdeen supporters at the end and also aimed a tiny wee dig at Ryan Jack, his direct opponent yesterday.
“Yeah, I’m looking forward to him going to Rangers. I hope he goes,” he said. Still smiling.
From the winning captain to Graeme Shinnie, Aberdeen’s on-field leader, who did little wrong in the match and yet didn’t get his hands on the cup.
“I’ve enjoyed a last minute goal here and I know how that feels. Now I know the opposite of that and it’s not a great feeling,” he said with some understatement. “The game was even, we maybe sunk a wee bit towards the end but that’s natural given how much the boys put in it. But I think up until maybe the 70th minute we were in the game and we had a couple of chances to even go ahead in the second half – chances that you probably need to take in a game like this.
“We said after the league game when they went 3-0 up after 10 minutes that we had them rattled. Even though we were three down we got the goal back and had them rattled so we knew we could do it. The boys did that very well but when opportunities come around you have to take them but we didn’t and got punished in the end by the late goal.”
Shinnie and Mikael Lustig had words when Celtic’s Swedish defender celebrated right in the Aberdeen man’s face.
“He came over and apologised so there’s no hard feelings there for me. I’m a big enough man to take that,” said Shinnie. They’ve won the treble and they deserve to celebrate.”
Should have said yesterday that it was my pleasure to have the company of Cathach. Hope the family got to watch the game, C. I’m sure they shared our feeling at time up. Safe home.
Graeme Macpherson: Aberdeen, Rangers, Hearts and Hibs face a busy summer as intriguing contest for second awaits
The Herald: Graeme Macpherson
CELTIC’S remarkable season is now complete. Their myriad achievements have been expounded at length and are chronicled elsewhere in this newspaper, both in print and online. It has been an incredible story of indefatigability, perseverance and dominance.
What does it mean, though, for the rest of Scottish football? Which clubs will reflect on season 2016/17 with a satisfied smile? Which managers and players can look forward with optimism and a sense of positivity? And which are heading back once more to the drawing board?
Success is all relative in a one-club state which means Aberdeen can surely be happy with their year’s work. They are now undoubtedly the second-best side in the country; runners-up to Celtic not only in the Premiership but also in both domestic cup finals. The dull ache that follows another Hampden defeat will not yet have subsided but Derek McInnes and his players will, with time, come to take pride in what they have achieved. There is little shame in finishing second behind a Celtic squad completely rejuvenated under Brendan Rodgers.
The problem for Aberdeen, now, is how they improve. McInnes may be wondering as much too, with Sunderland presumably not the only club to have kept tabs on Aberdeen’s progress on his watch. Players will move on, too; Niall McGinn, Ryan Jack, Peter Pawlett, and Ash Taylor will all likely be with new clubs come the start of the new season. Optimism will arrive in the shape of new players coming in, and from the knowledge that Celtic, surely, cannot be infallible forever.
Aberdeen, though, will also know that they will surely face a stiffer challenge in next season’s race to be considered the best-of-the-rest. Rangers, after all, surely can’t be as poor as they have been for most of this year. The hubris that greeted their arrival back in the top division – perfectly illustrated by the “Going for 55” card display ahead of the opening league game of the season – did not last for long.
They would soon prove ill-equipped for any kind of title challenge. Their two marquee signings did not work out; Joey Barton undone once more by his ill-discipline, Niko Kranjcar by serious injury. Former manager Mark Warburton signed 13 players in his final season and barely a handful can receive pass marks for their year’s work.
Rangers find themselves once more at a crossroads. Doubts remain over Pedro Caixinha’s suitability for the manager’s post but a fairer judgment on his capabilities will arrive once he has concluded his summer’s business in which he must completely overhaul the playing squad without the help of a director of football or a scouting network of any note. The return of European football at the end of June also adds additional time constraints.
Caixinha has shown himself to be a man confident in his own skin but he will be thoroughly tested by the challenges ahead. Taking Rangers closer to Celtic in the league and into at least one cup final ought to be the minimum return should he be backed by reasonable levels of investment.
Over at Hearts, another divisive head coach will be hoping it is second time lucky in the transfer market. Perhaps it was Ian Cathro’s plan all along for his January signings to be the equivalent a sticking plaster to help the team through until the end of the season, but relying primarily on short-term signings is rarely a recipe for long-term stability or success.
Hearts won only twice in the last three months of the season, suggesting major surgery is once more required from Cathro and sporting director, Craig Levein. The arrival of Christophe Berra is a positive start but more of that calibre will need to follow if Hearts are to challenge for second place and Cathro is to have his reputation restored.
There is no shortage of confidence across the city where Hibernian, fresh from escaping the Championship at the third attempt, are already making noises about pushing for second in their first season back in the Premiership. It seems a lofty target set by manager Neil Lennon and one that would surely require an upturn in consistency given Hibs struggled at times on their way to winning the Championship, drawing 14 of their 36 games. Lennon’s knowledge of the top league and an ambitious chief executive in Leeann Dempster, however, both go in Hibs’ favour as they look to make an instant impression upon their long-awaited return.
St Johnstone will reflect on another exemplary season in which they again finished in the top six and qualified for Europe. Such has been their consistency in recent years that this can no longer be considered overachieving. This is simply their level. Should they hold on to Tommy Wright – and it seems baffling that clubs in England haven’t yet targeted him – then expect more of the same from the Perth side next year.
Takeover body knew in advance of Craig Whyte’s season ticket funded bid for Rangers
The Herald: Martin Williams Senior News Reporter
CRAIG Whyte’s deal to buy Rangers with the help of money from the rights to future season ticket sales was known about in advance by the UK’s takeover regulator.
A fraud trial jury has been shown details of a note in which a representative of the Takeover Panel, the independent body which polices company mergers and buyouts, recognised that there was a deal in place with London-based investment firm Ticketus to raise funds to clear the club’s £18 million debt with Lloyds Banking Group when Whyte took over.
The file note that was dated on March 30, 2011, 37 days before Whyte took over the 85 per cent shareholding of Sir David Murray – sold for £1 with conditions contained in a share purchase agreement.
Murray earlier told the trial he would “categorically not” have handed the club over if that was how a deal was being financed.
Solicitor David Horne – a key adviser to Murray – was asked by Whyte’s QC Donald Findlay if it would surprise him if the Takeover Panel knew of the Ticketus deal.
He replied: “That would surprise me.”
Findlay went on to show Horne the note from a Raymond Phillips at the Takeover Panel which talked about the “current proposal” and said: “Craig Whyte would use future sales of season tickets to replace Lloyds bank funding”.
Findlay suggested that a “whole range of people” knew about the Ticketus deal and that Murray could have found out.
Horne said that it was “not obvious at all” and said: “We had no knowledge”.
Whyte, 46, denies the two charges against him, one of acquiring the club fraudulently in May 2011 and another of “financial assistance” under the Companies Act – which centres on the £18m payment, between Whyte’s Wavetower company and Rangers, using Ticketus to clear the bank debt with Lloyds.
Part of the allegations against Whyte is that he pretended to Murray and others that “funds were available” to make all agreed-to payments.
These are said to also include, the £2.8m “small tax case” liability, the £1.7m health-and-safety liability plus £5m for the playing squad.
Earlier Horne was shown a note which it was suggested showed he knew in November 2010 that Whyte was in contact with Ticketus over a £15 million loan facility. But Horne said that he thought it was just for working capital for the club after takeover.
Findlay suggested the Murray team wanted to sell “for right reasons or not” provided Rangers bank debt was cleared. He questioned Horne on how much was spent on “due diligence” on Whyte before the takeover, noting that other bidders were checked by accountants PwC.
Horne initially replied, “Not very much at all”.
Findlay asked: “£20? More? Less?”
The witness: “I don’t know – possibly nothing.”
Findlay: “That was what was spent – nothing?”
Horne agreed and said they “did searches on the internet”. He added: “We took comfort that he had reputable advisors.
“If anything had been thrown up that suggested any impropriety the deal would not have gone ahead.”
Findlay also asked about an email from one of Murray’s key advisers, Mike McGill, that “let slip” there were other investors.
Asked if that was investigated, Horne said, “no”, and added that Whyte should have made the disclosure.
Prosecutor Alex Prentice QC later went on to ask Horne: “On the face of it, was Murray keen to complete the deal?”
The witness: “Yes.”
Prentice: “Would he have sold no matter what?”
Horne: “No.”
The week began with the jury hearing that Craig Whyte had told a prospective business partner that his firm had £60m of assets. London financier John Newlands said he had seen documents relating to Whyte’s Liberty Capital company.
On Wednesday, David Gillespie, an ex-associate of Craig Whyte, said he was “annoyed” after discovering £1 million had left their company Merchant Turnaround to apparently help fund the Rangers takeover.
And on Thursday, it was claimed the brother of football manager David Moyes was the “duped” middle man in an apparent “con” to try and buy Rangers in 2010. But it turned out the proposal involved a forged bank letter as well as fears one of the duo was a crook.
JOHNBAY,
Thanks for your great offer mate, but I have no money to go anywhere even though you’r offering the ticket for free. Hence why I’ve watched Celtic and the celebrations from my living room.
I will not forget your kind gesture should we ever meet up in the future.
HH…and God Bless.
Hundreds of Celtic fans defy Police Scotland order and march to Hampden
The Herald: Stacey Mullen
Hundreds of Celtic fans defied a Police Scotland not to march to Hampden Stadium ahead of the Scottish Cup Final.
Fans could be seen marching up Cathcart Road then Aitkenhead Road in Govanhill just before 2pm.
The march has been organised by The Green Brigade as reported in today’s Evening Times.
We also reported that Police Scotland had asked fans not to congregate in large groups after the Manchester suicide bombing which killed 22 people.
Today march, however, was met by a heavy police presence and remained under control by cops.
With the exception of a few flares, the mounted branch and dog unit kept the large crowd in order.
A line of more than a dozens cops also stood at Cathcart Road where it meets Aitkenhead Road to keep the march on one path.
Good morning from a warm Sunny Central Scotland Congratulations to Brendan and the Bhoys for a great season and winning the treble. I think I got a bit of a hard time before on CQN for saying this but I would take Johnny hayes from Aberdeen hes a tough wee cookie who can also play a bit.H.H.
Scotland full-back Kieran Tierney a doubt for England match after injuring his mouth during Scottish Cup victory
Celtic star Kieran Tierney was injured in the Scottish Cup win over Aberdeen
Tierney was struck by Jayden Stockley’s arm midway through the first half
The 19-year-old required five minutes of treatment to his smashed mouth
He is now a doubt for the game against England at Hampden Park on June 10
By Fraser Mackie For The Scottish Mail On Sunday
Kieran Tierney emerged from the treatment room bloodied and bruised to be last in the Celtic line to lift the Scottish Cup.
But he is a major doubt to be able to rise again and return to Hampden in a fortnight fit for Scotland duty against England.
The 19-year-old was floored by the Aberdeen striker and required five minutes of treatment to his smashed mouth before being replaced by match-winner Tom Rogic.
No action was taken against Stockley, who Derek McInnes admitted was ‘under strict orders’ to be careful with the use of his arms following three red cards this season,
From the Celtic manager’s view of the flashpoint, the forward failed to heed that instruction.
Brendan Rodgers revealed Tierney may require surgery to correct the damage done by Jayden Stockley’s arm midway through the first half.
Rodgers said: ‘My initial reaction is that is twice it has happened because KT took a heavy elbow up at Pittodrie when we won 3-1. He was down and out for a while in that game.
‘It is a difficult one because that can happen. But for it to happen again…I don’t want to comment too much because I need to see it again.
‘He probably needs an operation. I am just surprised the officials didn’t see it.’
A STOR MHA CHROI on 28TH MAY 2017 8:27 AM
CW bought the ‘thing’ for £1.
Presumably he paid the £1 from his own resources.
He then ‘sold’ part of the potential future revenue of the ‘thing’ to pay off the debt that was owed by the ‘thing’.
I’m not clear how that constitutes a crime known to the law of Scotland.
It’s been very entertaining though.
Good morning friends from an exhausted, dry (for now), blustery East Kilbride.
Watching the game again, the winner very reminiscent of John Collins winner v Cologne… Albeit from the opposite side.
Waiting at Lisbon Airport to go home after an amazing few days. Thanks to all the CQN bhoys and ghirls who I met. Special mention to BRTH for organising all the events. I hope you realise how much it is appreciated.
And the tears finally came yesterday as we sang Walk On in O’Gilans after the final whistle. I’d managed to keep it together at several points during the week but that was the last straw!
Thank you Lisbon and thank you Celtic.
TGSC,

Morning everyone, cloudy in darkest Lanarkshire ,however the sun is shining as far as I can see.

This is taken from some RAG called The Evening Express by a so called journalist called Charlie Allan.
“A last gasp strike by Tom Rogic goal gave Celtic an undeserved victory in an epic Scottish Cup final at Hampden this afternoon.
It was a cruel end to a game in which the Dons did their 20,000-strong Red Army proud.
Aberdeen had taken the lead through a fine finish from Jonny Hayes early on, only for Stuart Armstrong to equalise within two minutes.
From then, it was end-to-end stuff in one of the best Scottish Cup finals seen in years.
Were it not for some fantastic saves by Celtic keeper Craig Gordon, the Dons could have had it won by half-time.
Both sides created chances in an thrilling second half that could have gone either way.”
Celtic win ” UNDESERVED” ?….I take it this feckin RAG is from Aberdeen ?
Celtic could and should have scored 4/5 in 2nd half.
I’ve posted in recent weeks that Scott Sinclair ( who I love)…should buy himself new shooting boots………he should have scored at least 2 goals yesterday.
HH
Funny how the above “Journalist” FAILED to mention the saves of the Sheep Goalie, and Celtic’s missed chances.
What a CHOOB !
He’s obviously hurtin.
Fair Ye Well from Lisbon ’17 – a thousand times adieu. Don’t think there’s a word in the Oxford dictionary to describe these last 4 days and their link to 67 – maybe VFR could check or just make up one. In the meantime I’ll make do with unforgettable.
Flight called, bye for now.
Morning all from a fairly scorchio NW Italy.
Yesterday saw the perfect culmination to a bloody marvelous season. A treble and unbeaten in 47 domestic games. The only sour note being that animal Stockley’s unpunished assault on KT.
When KT came back to receive his medal he looked, quite understandably, feckin ragin’.
…but also happy to be back to celebrate!
Cannae wait until the start of next season!
HH!!

It’s enough to make your Heart burst with pride & emotion.
I see we are being linked with Uruguayan defender Martin Caceres this morning. Good experienced defender, mainly centre half, who can play in either full back positions.
Magic, nothing more nothing less. Simply magic.

Big Jimmy,
The Evening Express is indeed an Aberdeen ‘newspaper’. The ‘journalist’ is an ex-postman who got a job at Aberdeen journals, allegedly, during a journalists strike years ago, when he offered to write while the real journalists were all manning the picket lines outside.
The article appeared on Facebook shortly after the game yesterday, and to be fair to Dons fans who posted, the vast majority were much more magnanimous in defeat, and much more realistic in their views on the game.
Yaaaaaaaaaassss!
I never get hangovers but I’ve got one today.
Must have had a nice time yesterday…
I’m just sad this glorious season is over.
