    Winning the Cup for a third time, and at three different venues.

    Saturday's memorable victory was not only our third Scottish Cup title, but the third venue to have won it in.
    Although listed in records as Hampden Park, the venue was the second site of Hampden Park - Cathkin Park, for the 1887 success. The 1902 victory was achieved at Celtic Park (was due to be played at Ibrox, but was postponed for two weeks then played at Celtic Park following the death of 25 fans in 1st Ibrox disaster) , and for the first time on Saturday, we won the Cup in the "new" Hampden Park.
