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.

Hearts new establishment Team?
yes – if you define establishment as close to Liquidation..
Just watched 2 wee robins out the back there. One jumped on one of them fluffy things to bring it down to the level of the other one and it picked off the fluff and took it back to the nest. Ill let you know if they do it again!!

He is a decent player, but no better than players we have. That and I don’t like him, odious wee man.
Hearts the new establishment club, probably, they need someone to challenge us.

Good shout. This game was shaping up to be a good advert for Scottish football, then that decision changes everything, a good couple of yards outside the box.

Mon the Pool….. Home of the seaside Tims (thumbs up)
Hiding for the hibees…as predicted
Is this Hibs protest against newco?
Hearts have taken advantage here, and are issuing a humiliation, but make no mistakes about it, Thomson and his linesman ruined this game as a contest early in the second half, by their utter incompetence(or?)
Ole Cultsbhoy sometimes likes to have a controversial opinion, that why he’s called
Cultsbhoy.
