I address you today, not as the president of anything, not as the leader of a anything, but as a fellow follower of Hibernian Football Club.
We are faced with the very gravest of challenges, The Bible calls this week Armageddon. The end of all things.
And yet for the first time in the history of the Club, our supporters have it within our means to do what previous generations have failed to do.
All of you praying with us need to know that everything that can be done for our ultimate triumph is being called into service.
The Hibernian thirst for excellence and flair play, every step up the ladder of science, every adventure, all of our combined modern technologies and imaginations, in all the matches that we’ve fought, have provided us the tools to wage this terrible battle.
Through all the chaos that is our history, though all of the wrongs and the discord, through all of the pain and suffering, through all of our times, there is one thing that has nourished our souls and elevated us Hibees above our neighbours.
And that is our courage.
Dreams of every Hibs supporter on the planet are focused this week on those 20,000 plus brave souls traveling through to Hampden.
And may we all, Hibees the world over, see these events through.
God speed and good luck to you.
