you can get your photo next to the original cup at the Hampden museum , not the cheap replica other teams have lifted

See when teams win it, do they lift the original, keep it for the year and give it back, then given a replica to keep?

My impression is that they only get the 'fake' one in case they damage or lose the original one.

The original never leaves the SFA.

I've lifted the original one at Hampden - one of the few people of the Hibee persuasion who have :boo hoo:

The original gets presented to the winning team then quickly replaced with the replica.

This. You lift the original and then keep the replica. I think they do however use the original in the studio for Sky Sports and stuff.

When that lot won in 2006 , one of their coaches worked with us and brought the acottish cup in to my office and i had a picture taken ,with the ribbons of of course !.
From memory it was all engraved and certainly didnt look very new so not sure what cup that would have been,they had the base as well ??

I'm guessing it was the replica....the cup is worth millions and is historic hence why they made an old looking replica.

I remember when they won it in 2006, our deputy headmaster was a Jambo, and he got a few of them to bring it in to school and get photos taken with it, I never got one though...

I got my photo taken almost exactly a year ago with the cup outside the bookie in Easter Road....made the Evening News too.

A year ago.....where we were then, and where we are now.....

Am i right in saying Rangers rip name is not on the original cup but ours is . Ive kissed the league cup when Budgie jumped on the fence with it in the East . What an atmosphere in the holy ground that evening .
Ill hold fire getting my picture took until we cough , win it .

Or try to sell it, as Hearts no doubt would.
