I know nobody here likes talking about that day :wink:, but I just had a conversation about that day with a couple of guys at work. During the chat one of them had suggested we didn't play any top teams on the way to winning the cup. They other guy suggested that they were all top flight teams except Raith. I had said that rangers weren't, but he argued that they had already been promoted by the time the game was played. I couldn't decide if he was right.

So is he right? Were they technically a top flight team when we played them? Or is there a specific day when the promoted and relegated teams actually move?

I'm sure it's on record as being a final consisting of two teams from the second tier. Anyone confirm?

Two teams from the championship - that Rangers won the league and were promoted doesn’t really change that fact. Think it might have been the first time the cup final was contested between two lower league clubs?

It was certainly reported as that at the time. Hibs also the only team ever to reach both cup finals in the same season while in the 2nd tier.

First time on record for two teams from the Championship competing in the final of Scotland’s premier Cup competition
Unfortunately for The Rangers they met two top clubs in the Scottish Cup that season Celtic and Hibernian Football Club
Still without a Scottish Cup win since their formation in 2012
They let their club die but refuse to admit it

You are correct!

They are not champions till the seasons games are over.

Scottish cup 2015-16. That season the Rangers were a championship club, as were Hibs so the final was contest by 2,championship clubs and the best team won😁

They still had the second biggest budget in the country, by a mile. And we still pumped them 😁

Never mind being 2-1 up in the final and getting beat, never mind losing to a 92+ minute winner, never mind your former Player's Player of the Year being on the winning side, never mind Stoksie being on fire but imagine being THAT team who lost to Hibs...the team who hadn't won the cup since 1902.....:faf:

Strangely enough I had the distinct feeling that they beat Celtic in the cup making it much easier for us to win it.

In response to the OP talking about playing top class opposition on the way up to and including the final of course :confused:

I would also suggest that we might consider ourselves to be unfortunate to be drawn against Celtic in the quarter final but at least it is not at Hampden or Darkheid.

We just have to get on with it hopefully we do not do a The Rangers and knock them out to do someone else a favour :greengrin

Oh! 2-1 down with ten minutes to go there was nothing easy about it!

From the moment they beat Celtic I thought that our chances in the final were no worse than 50/50 provided we got a fair crack of the whip from the referee.And so it turned out:greengrin

As soon as Halliday goal went in, The pessimist in me came to light, I turned to my dad and said “that’s a cup final winning goal”

The record has to be put straight here on the assertion we didn’t beat any (at the time) top teams.

I’ll give you Raith. But remember they finished one place below us in the League and we had to defeat them in the first ofthe play offs that season, so they were no mugs.

Hertz. A Premiership side who were having one of their best top flight seasons for many a year off the back of being promoted the season before. Much as it goes against the grain to say it, they were a “top” side at the time. Just couldn’t handle our never say die attitude.

ICT. A Premiership side who as ever were punching above their weight and on paper could have beaten us but didn’t!!

Dundee Utd. A Premiership side who were admittedly on a downward spiral towards relegation and we all know what lack of confidence and persistent defeats does to a team (I refer to second half of 2013/2014 season!!) We didn’t beat them. I prefer to say we defeated them to be more accurate and but for a big Irish polar bear making a sensational debut, probably wouldn’t be talking about 21/5/16 today.

The Rangers. Yes, they won the Championship relatively easily but because of that we’re imo way over confident the Cup (and subsequent “unique double”) was theirs. Another big cuddly Irishman thought different and ripped Sevco a sore one that day with the MOTM of all MOTM displays that day.

So Berne, you can take these facts back to your work discussion and show them, regardless of their football persuasions, that the Hibees won the cup fair and square having been dealt the cards they were given.

These are all great facts which are all correct and beyond question.

But I prefer the emotional approach. Hibs won the Scottish Cup - for the first time in 114 years - ending the biggest hoodo in world sport- with a last minute goal- against the most bigoted corrupt dirtbags imaginable.

And it was ****ing brilliant!!!

Love this - I think of it as a never-to-be-repeated fairytale where the winners:
(R3) beat the "Lucky Omen" team, Raith Rovers (who had a 6 year record of going out to the eventual winners)
(R4) beat Derby Rivals after being 0-2 at 80mins (Hearts fans chanting "Stubbsy", the lot)
(R5) beat the holders
(Semi) The Polar Bear's out-of-shape but heroic debut & Cummings' 2 penalties - one horrible Panenka and one that got us into the Final
(Final) - 1-0 early, 1-1 HT, 1-2 and dreading it, 2-2, and 90+2...

Round 4 - the first goal being scored by a Hearts reject and the equaliser by a life long Hibs fan, then the Hearts reject scoring the only goal in the replay.

Round 5 - beat the holders in a replay at a ground where we had a poor record and only days after losing the League Cup final to a last minute goal.

There is a fantastic narrative for the entire cup run.
