There are truisms in life. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, night follows day and Hibernian Football Club will not win the Scottish Cup. However, a failure to lift the trophy since Orville said to Wilbur, ‘I bet this thing gets off the ground’, does not guarantee subsequent failures. Hibs have already beaten Celtic this season and are perfectly capable of doing so again on Sunday.
Before this season Kilmarnock hadn’t won at Celtic Park since 1955, but it happened. St Johnstone, Motherwell, St Mirren, Inverness and Ross County beat us too. All these defeats were against the odds; no more so than Hibs are on Sunday.
Celtic need to get in touch with how they felt after their League Cup semi-final defeat to St Mirren, a day of so much regret. The 90 minutes will pass quickly, there’s no point leaving something in your locker for next week. Let’s get off to a flier.
Many thanks for sending over your Seville photographs, we are planning to pull photos and your comments on the event together into a special publication. If you have any more please send them in, celticquicknews@gmail.com.
Willie Wallace will be signing copies of his book at Waterstones on Sauchiehall St between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday, 25th May. Bet he knows what he was doing that very afternoon 46 years earlier. Get along to see him or order your own signed copy below. This is going to be a great weekend.

No wish to usurp Jobo, but for those concerned about his missing weather observations it is cool, dry and cloudy in ole EK at the moment (though it was VERY sunny when I first got up!)
Good morning from a cold, windy and dull north staffs – it was so different 38 years ago today — the sun was splitting the sky and Engerland humped Scotland 5-1 oh and me and mrs gene got married.
Morning.Timland

Hail.Hail.
Good morning all and a Big Happy Friday from a dry, windy but grey-ish and coolish East Kilbride. Welcome to the Cup Final Holiday Weekend.
Re. the Fat Sally award – who decided he got it, was it his fellow ‘professionals’ or was it ra media?
Long lie today Jobo?
Sun forecast for Sunday, another Hampden in the Sun Day beckons!

Is that BBC Scotland or BBC national. We have an unofficial rule over here that the news presenter will say “Londonderry” first and then all subsequent references will be to “Derry”.

My olde workmate (a couple who go to every home game) got wan ticket for the Final, how did you and young acgr get on?
I think Sunday will be a Celtic Bonanza, I just hope they save some goals for the 2nd half. ;)
When Neil said they were treating this game like a CL game, well.

From the Sevco site, they forget to mention how he got papped out the Ramsdens cup. pmsl…
CHAMPIONSHIP-winning Ally McCoist
has been named as the SFL Third
Division Manager of the Year this
evening.
The Light Blues boss led his team to
the title in the club’s first ever
season outside the top flight by a
convincing margin of 24 points from
second-place Peterhead.
And although he was widely expected
to deliver the silverware with comfort,
he has still been chosen as the best
coach in the bottom tier.
McCoist’s award was presented
tonight at the Irn-Bru SFL End of
Season Awards at the Old Fruitmarket
in Glasgow’s Merchant City.
The 50-year-old is currently in
America as he prepares to take part in
a white-water rafting challenge on
behalf of the Rangers Charity
Foundation.
Grammar, grammar, grammar…..bhoys!!!!!!
Its either “roll and sausage”….or…..”sausage on roll…….or reven “roll n sausage…..but never…I repeat never….”roll on sausage”……catholic education?….pfffft
Pete, I struck gold through a friend of a friend of a friend. Young ACGR is over the moon at going to his first cup final. This will be my first since 1975 (Celtic 3 – Airdrie 1). Might have been 74??? I have a poor memory for games.
I remember being left outside a pub wearing a huge Celtic rosette while my grandad and my granny’s brother debated the finer points of Celtic over pints and drams.
I might do that with the young fella…………………..minus the rossette:-)
National mort.
Went over to Derry and mark simpson referred to Derry all through his report regarding the music festival this weekend.

Sorry,pal.
Missed your reply yesterday.The tyranny of time zones.
Negotiation and persuasion before aggression everytime.
Over the many years I have known of Celtic and its history,I have never seen where
negotiation and persuasion on our part have made the slightest difference to the unfair treatment Celtic have received at the hands of our masters.
If anything, it appears to me that the “anti-fenian” attitude has hardened.
“No surrender” resonates louder today,probably because of the …er…unfortunate situation the hun finds itself in.
In principle,I agree with you.In practice,I don`t.
We have the financial power and advantage.
For god`s sake,let`s use it before it is lost.
Hail Hail to you.
A Son of Dan
I still don’t know who actually voted for the Pie Man. Was it his peers? Was it the Football Writers (sic)? Was it the Irn Bru chappies? I demand to know (so that I can laugh at the tubes)!

If I were a charity out there I wouldn’t hold my breath for that I’ll ever see any of the money.
