I’m still meeting people who haven’t noticed. Hibernian are on an outstanding run of form, having won their last three games and undefeated in six. The last reversal they had was at Celtic Park the first weekend in April. On Sunday we’re playing the team with the best recent form in Scotland; the warning signs are painted in large green font.
They are dangerous up front, Leigh Griffiths has scored four goals more than any Celtic player, including several stunners.
The weight of the world rested on Hibs’ shoulders at last season’s Scottish Cup final, when the stage was set for a century of pain to be wiped away by defeating their greatest rivals. It was too much. Now they take the field unburdened and vastly more dangerous than St Mirren, Hearts or Kilmarnock were when they overcame Celtic at Hampden recently.
Odds on Hibs are very generous.
I caught some chat online last night. “Blackmail”, “extortion”, “imprisonment”, “getting rid of the problem”, “a catastrophe of an intensity that you…. clearly do not appear to understand”, “fraudulent”, “once the genie is out it will have a life of its own”.
What an unimaginable mess.
I think “Been an admirer of your recent work” is bound to become a euphemism in years to come for when something that should never have been said or written slips out. This is a small glimpse into how the whole thing happened.
Fantastic Q&A with Willie Wallace this morning, thanks to Willie and Winning Captains. Willie’s recollections of our great times are irresistible. Reading the book as it came together was a joy. You’ll love it.
Remember you can start Cup Final weekend by meeting Willie at a book signing at Waterstons’ on Sauchiehall St, tomorrow – 25th May, 46 years on from the day – from 2pm until 4pm. If you can’t make it you can order a signed copy below.

Scandal, scandal everywhere, but not a drop worth reporting.
Like many, I’ve been reading the Charlotte Fakes contribution to the Sevco scandal.
At first I thought they couldn’t possibly be true because of what was being posted – claims of lies, fraud, deception and even death threats. Surely fantasy?
Did anyone see the news this evening?
In a landmark case Sally Bercow will pay tens of thousands of pounds in damages to Lord McAlpine for a libellous tweet.
If what Chatlotte Fakes has been posting is rubbish, the he/she will be taken to the cleaners by Charles Greene, Imran Ahmed, the SFA and sundry others embroiled in this fiasco.
I don’t expect these law suits to materialise, which would tend to suggest what has been posted is legitimate. Yet not a word of it has been reported in the MSM.
Not only that, just as he was first to spin the LNS whitewash, BBC Ibrox stenographer Chris McGlochlan “breaks” story that there is no link between Green and White.
So our supposed impartial, unbiased, public service broadcaster is first to spin Sevco propaganda despite a welter evidence to the contrary.
Just how stupid do they think we are?
Just how corrupt and parochial is this country?
3-1 to the Bhoys on Sunday!

Well done, joe_joe_john_bobby_teddy.
Fastest finger first.
Cheers CRC for a great quiz.
Did they show the Ajax v hun game?
I sat down to watch the highlights in a hotel down south. The show opened with ” on the night when Gazza stole all the headlines”. My heart sank.
Till he got red carded and Ajax put 4 past Goram!!
great memories!
It was the 12 international goals that put me off Clue 1,that must be nearly as many as Steakbake Sally,not bad for a midfielder.
Congrats to joe_joe_john_bobby_teddy and well done to everybody for taking parts.
Cheers lhads, have a good bank holiday weekend and let’s make it a double!
