It remains a possibility that Atletico Madrid will lose today’s league decider against Barcelona and next week’s Champions League final against Real Madrid (vernacular: ‘do a Hearts), but I hope not. The fact that they have pushed the two most celebrated football clubs on the planet to the limit, across two tournaments, is already remarkable. Should they deliver on two fronts, it will be the most stunning achievement in European football in 47 years.
There was a healthy amount of bloodlust for the Uefa Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules to fine the life out of the likes of Manchester City and Paris St Germain, before banning them from Uefa competition. This was never the point.
What Uefa have done is bring Europe’s two most freely spending clubs into line. FFP will restrict City and PSG’s expenditure, transfer market activity and squad selection. This is a result.
It’s a pity we’re not at Celtic Park to lift the Scottish Cup today. *!*!
Enormous thanks to Tommy Gemmell and everyone who participated in the entertainment here yesterday. Tommy thoroughly enjoyed the banter and will be back on the blog below this article early this afternoon to catch up with the questions he didn’t have time for yesterday.

What is it wi cup finals and underdogs? Long may it continue.
Personally I think Ciftci is a useless big lump.
There’s a few good players in today’s 22 but after watching both teams a good few times this season, there nobody out there better than our first 11 imo.

Think we should be giving guy’s like Henderson and Watt etc ,a chance before we sign some of the players that have been spoke about.
Wanted utd to win- but didn’t turn up today – saints deserve their first Scottish cupboard
Ole Lorraine Kelly will have to enjoy her wee orange walk hame noo.
For me, it was a great cup final, Celtic Park looked magnificent, the atmosphere sounds great, much better than Hampden. Armageddon ma earchie. Take a bow Celtic Park. HH
United’s young team bottled it today.
St Johnstone enjoyed a great deal of luck but they took their chances.
Looks like there is going to be a party in the ancient parish of St.Johns town tonight.

Aaahhhhhhh – cup ! Not cupboard ( bad day on the ibone! )
Fraser Wright – tosser
Good game, bagza chances on both sides.
