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.

My brothers are indeed Gordon ( the memory man of this site )and Jim C ( spends much of his time living in Turkey and reading CQN ). We are all St Luke’s / Holyrood/ Sarsfield CSC boys.
If Jock’s time delivered unimagined success we are living through almost equally unimaginable times with the demise of Rangers Football Club. How good does that sound?
Enjoying the Blackpool game, as wee Derryghirl and I settled down to watch the game the wife noticed wee Barry fergushun in the Blackpool lineup, she’s Naw that bothered noo :>)
I’m afraid it’s sunshine on keech as far as Hibs are concerned.
A poor advert for Scoddish fitba.
Sloppy pass in midfield – poor marking – gift of a goal.
Can Hibs coming back from this and save my 40/1 bet?
i think its unfolding as to why brother norris made sure it was hearts in
the final and not celtic,
I have to laugh at putting any hope in Hibs,true to their name,cabbages and cabbages you can’t trust.
If it wasn’t for McPake, Hearts would be 5-0 in front, still 2-0 tho, c’mon Hibernian
Ralphwaldoetc- I worked with a Brian McKenna until recently- He taught at UWS before moving to Engerland.
On a sadder note I just picked up a stonechip in my windscreen- does anyone know a reliable repair/ replace service near Greenock?
Cheers in advance

TheBarcaMole,
Are you from Parkhead too? There can’t have been 2 Miss Brogan’s, I would have thought? What a woman, what a teacher!! I can remember her as plain as day 50 years later. (I passed my English “O” level on the strength of what I got from her in Primary 6 & 7.)
Frankel…….beautiful
The best miler since the Brigadier. Saucy minx Emma just asks Tom Queally ” How was it for you?” ;)))
10 in a row for the mighty one.
Hmmm put a tenner on the Hibees winning 3-2 before k-o….40/1 !
Can see the Minis scoring again though.
TTTT

He thinks he’s an intellectual.
He’s just as prejudiced as the next man but he’s in denial.
Some intellectual where personal insight and critical thinking are missing.

Fraid it was!!!
