27 wins in 28 visits to Hampden since Brendan Rodgers first arrived at Celtic in 2016 is a record which has elevated the Scottish and League Cups to a level not previously known. Earlier generations were used to seeing ‘provincial’ clubs picking up a cup on a regular basis; even Jock Stein’s Celtic made a feature of this with an unfortunate run of League Cup Final defeats.
Not now. These days, the chance to win either of the Scottish domestic cups is cherished by all. Ask around. Your Newco fan pals cherish their 2022 Scottish Cup win over Hearts and last term’s League Cup Final defeat of Aberdeen. St Johnstone will celebrate their two cups in a season for much of this century.
The more trebles you and I get to celebrate, the more we want to win. Yesterday’s 5-0 victory over St Johnstone did not quite match our 6-0 Scottish Cup semi-final win over Aberdeen earlier this season, but it challenged the rest of the pack to raise their game if they want a sniff of silver.

By the way the EBTers will pay their “loans” back when they reach their 125th birthdays :-)
So sorry to hear of the passing of Father Charlie. Parish priest in St. Mary’s Paisley when I lived there. Could someone post the details of his funeral arrangements when they become known.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Fr. Charlie Kavanagh aka Connaire .
My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.
He was without doubt a beacon of sense on CQN..
A local Catholic community is in mourning as well as the wider global community RIP both.

Does anyone have any footage of the Mass in Lisbon, 25th May 2017, Fr. Cavanagh said the Mass.
It was broadcast on TV as part of a programme about the 50th Anniversary of Lisbon.
Good morning CQN.
