I am sure you have many great Scottish Cup final memories. For me the best was Airdrieonians, twice. My earliest memory of attending a final was the 1975 win, Kenny Dalglish, Paul Wilson and Pat McCluskey. Watched big Billy and Jinky emerge from Hampden with the trophy after the game.
Then, of course, there was that huge final in 1995. Six years without a trophy, Celtic were at their lowest point in decades and had already lost a final to Raith Rovers that season. Beating Airdrieonians in that final is one of the most important victories in Celtic history.
By any measure, apart from Scottish Cups, Hibs are the fifth biggest team in Scotland, yet they haven’t won the Cup in 110 years. Since then the Wright brothers headed to Kitty Hawk and tried to get ‘Flyer’ off the ground for the first time in history and Teddy Rosevelt made history by becoming the first US president to ride in a motor car.
If they can pull a good 90 minutes together today, Hibs might become the first club in Scottish footballs’ rebirth. They have reclaimed thousands of fans in recent weeks and are proof that there is life outside Glasgow.
Good luck to them.

Drogba awesome,John Park get out to Africa and find one for us.
Hail Hail
No professional football player should miss a penalty.
Even if the keeper does look like Will Ferrell in a cyclers helmet,….
as I said earlier the Celtic bhoys won the only cup today…
And Spurs lose out on the CL
ashley ‘I nearly crashed my Bentley when I heard Arsenal had only offerred £80 000 per week’ cole on just now, drogba is a cheating get, a good footballer but a sleekit, cheating get!
The whole trophy feels devalued. Not just by their appallingly weak unadventurous performance, but the fact that they have spent hundreds of millions to win it in such a piss awful way.
Man City will win it next year and the ba’ will be officially burst.
what about those remarks then…the walk of shame !!!!!!
John Terry lifting the trophy will blacken the competition slightly. Which is a little ironic.

Must have been orange then!
All season Spurs battled in the league, finish 4th and get pumped out of the CL because Chelsea spend a billion and have one shot on target. Football is wonderful :O)
is that the big cup Mr Murray?
well done Chelsea, well done anti-football. The beautiful game RIP.
We better watch out once the Green knight gets his way the huns will be lifting that cup next season (or maybe the next at most).
Bring ’em on….

“Will Ferrell in a cyclers helmet” :)) I thought it was a compression hat to ensure quick thinking and speedy reflexes.

Ha. Is that a fact..I could do wi one of them myself then..!
Fair play. to him…Don’t know how he does it.
It twas ever thus
Travesty……..total non football……..
The bould Hector’s bhoys
I don’t think they work. I’m wearing two and my patters still mince.
Watched the math on a German link. Commentators gutted as well, said there was no way Chelski could have won the match but to play for penalties and hope to win.

Agreed, football sold it’s soul in the sixties and is now dead as a sport.It should not be a surprise it’s professional and that means money, just like all major sports.At least no one can take Lisbon away from us.
Hail Hail.
Aye, but it is steak mince :-)
who was the 21st man?
Think that knocks Spurs out of CL next year.
Truly a 2nd division outfit wins the European Cup, arguably at best, the third biggest team in London wins the trophy
Tainted!
Jeezo, the owner gets to lift the trophy with players. Since when?
S
? terry suspended but gets to lift the trophy and we hope that mob uefa will stand up for integriety?
Personally i don’t think ( so called greatest manager of all time) Fergie/Manure deserved their 2big cup wins…but the history books only read your achievements, not how you done it.
good evening cqn
well between that Blo… olympic torch and That English team winning the C L and the Queens Jubilee,and me having Man Flu this week,God wheres that tax man to cheer me up.
‘Fraid not. It’s smart price quorne mince :))

Man Utd did it trying to play football…Not sure what you mean by how they done it……
They certainly never went out to stifle teams like Chelsea v Barca and Bayern.

You’ve got me thinking. A lot of things this year to get the old Brit patriots all excited. Makes you wonder what the future holds. Another middle east invasion by winter as soon as something happens to upset that overly excited love of the empire. Excuse my poltical cynicism…
We’ve just watched that tonight, are we that far away from the last 16 of the champions league?
Playing for penalties, a bit like Steua Bucharest in ’88 & UEFA, tell me this, ‘how can you lift the trophy if you did not play in the final?’ maybe you will allow me the honour of lifting the CL trophy with Scott Brown next year (tongue firmly planted in cheek)…

The Germans love their stats I’m sure, but a stream devoted to the maths of a CL final is a bit anorak, no?? :))
