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.

Good morning Bhoys & Ghirls.
According to the BBC website the SCF is being screened on BBC Scotland, but when I look at the schedule online it is not listed. It doesn’t appear on Sky Player either. Will I be able to get the match live online in England?
Any advice is appreciated.

Many Happy returns to your auld man.
Does he like a wee drink, if so,let me know his tipple and I’ll bring him a bottle. I’ll also bring a couple of bottles of wine to put in your bar. There’s a nice bottle of Chivas regal, box is a bit bedraggled but the bottle is unopened, it would be a fine bottle if your auld man likes a whisky.

Glasgow glorious today..
Waterstones and Cup Final… What’s not to like!?

It’ll be interesting to see what Regan achieved above this (http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/resources/documents/SFAPublications/ScottishFAPublications2012-13/Annual%20Review%202012.pdf …) to merit a 33% salary increase.

Happy 25th May everyone.
Nice that the champions league final is on our date this year.
Hail Hail!
big chips.
If you have Sky. You should get BBC Scotland up in the channels 952 0nwards. .As I live in Scotland I can’t tell you the exact number BBC Scotland is on but there must be someone that can give you the exact channel nr.
Big chips
It’s prob only on BBC Scotland and not BBC England. Around channel 970 there will be a list of all the UK bbc’s. you should find BBC Scotland there. If not it is on sky sports also.

Lennybhoy, don,t think he will make it, age winning the battle, he is housebound unless drink & Celtic involved right enough. Also only 10% vision, guess what he is getting for his birthday, and it will be signed ( thanks CRC)
Oldtim67 thanks for he offer, it would be wasted though, never seen him have a drink in the house, ever.
TBJ, better not spare the horses by sound of things for the journey
Hail Hail
Should have added, that’s the half time pies now in place as well
Hail Hail
Cowiebhoy

Cowiebhoy 11:02:
That’s a shame he wont be joining us, he’ll be thinking of this day 46 years ago and reminiscing of that great day.
See you tonight.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

channel 951
hail hail
Other than my immediate neighbour, who is an aberdonian, the rest of the street, are absolutely sound, probably disappointed not to be joining us, once they know.
The aberdonian, is a good lad as well mind you, has a serious dislike for some dead mob, who spent a fortune trying to match us, and failed miserably (sad story that – not)
Hail Hail
Oldtim
You take it real easy today mate… I need you to keep the young rebels in order ;)

Celtic went out to attack – we won the big cup and we brought it back.
Oh, I heard they were in Stirling this morning, nice of them to celebrate Our Day though.
