Scottish Cup Final

[Cat Stanton]

Yes I know - I know - that we all need Septic/Celtc to win tomorrow so we get into Europe. So logically/rationally we have to want them to win.

But honestly, I can't stand them. I can't stand everything about them, especially the resurgent IRA singing of their loathsome away support at Easter Road. So I'm pretty sure if I start watching it tomorrow, I won't be able to help myself: heart will over-rule head and I'll just want them pumped, and then pumped again! Screw Europe! Pump the f****rs!

Obviously this is all a moot point as Inverness haven't an earthly. But am I alone in my completely illogical mind set?

Nah I want our home pumping against some Nordic team, sorry. Mon Celtic.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Europe beckons and Hibs come before my loathing of the old firm. Every time.*

(*if there’s ever a situation where Celtic, or Rangers for that matter, need to beat us to stop hearts winning the league I will re-visit this statement)

[Wilson]

Head says Celtic. However, i won't be able to resist cheering the underdog if Inverness look like they're having any joy. Crazy.

I feel Celtic will be 'on it' though. Fortunately for our own ambitions!

[Billy Whizz]

I know it’s wrong to say this, but Inverness in the group stages of the Europa Conference league, will do nothing for Scotland’s coefficient, a bit like Hearts this season in it

[overdrive]

Come on Celtic (spit). I’m not even that fussed about Europe itself as we will no doubt get pumped out early on. But qualifying for Europe will mean we won’t have to suffer LJ treating the group stages of one of only two cups we can realistically win as a training exercise again.

[Since452]

Wee fiver on ICT to soften the blow if they somehow win

[Glory Lurker]

It's just like the Motherwell final in 2018. I'll be ashamed wanting Celtc to win, but what can you do?

I'll fall to pieces laughing if ICT do win though, just as I did when Motherwell stuffed the orcs in the 2015 play off.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Great to be back in Europe again 😏😄👌💚

[Donegal Hibby]

If there wasn't anything for Hibs to gain I'd be for Inverness though there is so I hope Celtic pump them and have a comfortable lead early on so I can relax 😀. I hate the old firm though find myself wanting them to win more often than Lose especially against Aberdeen, hertz , St mirren etc etc . :tin hat:

[Victor]

I am currently in Inverness, working and want a quiet night tomorrow night! So come on Celtic!!! [emoji3]

[Jim44]

The Celtic supporters are keaking themselves at the possible departure of the Australian to Spurs. Understandable. However if Supercallygoballistic and produce a major shock, I think the blow will be softened. From a selfish point of view, I want Celtic to give us a tiny taste of European football tomorrow.

[Northernhibee]

I could have a gun pointed at my head and be told that I'll only go free if one of Hearts, Rangers, or Celtic win, and I'd still cheer if the opposition scored a 94th minute winner.

Yep, exactly the same as 2018. We need Celtic to win the cup. Remember the Asteris Tripolis game where McGinn won the tie in Greece? Well that wouldn't have happened if Motherwell had won the Cup that year. C'mon the Celts the 'morn.

Inverness were up maroon erses during the demotion fiasco. I hope they get thrashed.

[JamesHFC]

Be surprised if Celtic score less than 4 goals.

[Carheenlea]

I believe we share the indignity with Cambuslang in suffering the heaviest Cup Final defeat? Us in 1972 against Celtic and Cambuslang against Renton in 1888 with 6-1 being the scoreline.

I think we stand a good chance of seeing that unfortunate statistic being wiped clean tomorrow.

[hibee-boys]

I’m willing to stomach the treble gloating for the sake of a European adventure with the Hibs. Well done for beating teams with a 10th of your budget Celtic and the basket case of a club along the road from you🙄👏

[Since452]

Hopefully a couple of early Celtic goals so I can turn it off and go and search for my passport.

[Keith_M]

I can understand the OP's point of view, I always want Celtc, Rankers and Hearts to lose as well.

[Since90+2]

I could have a gun pointed at my head and be told that I'll only go free if one of Hearts, Rangers, or Celtic win, and I'd still cheer if the opposition scored a 94th minute winner.

Even if Hibs benefit? Sounds like you dislike them more than you like Hibs.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Celtic 1/25
Draw 13/1
Inverness 35/1

[DIXIHIBS]

Always old firm/hertz to lose....unless it benefits hibs, so Celtic to win today please.

[MWHIBBIES]

Only Hibs matter. Whatever benefits Hibs. Wanting anything else is wrong.

I think its a bit unfair that the SC runner up don’t get the Euro spot.

Happy enough that Hibs get it but it doesn’t seem right. It’s the former CWC slot, really

Kind of similar view. Their smugness isn't particularly appealing. If we had done what we should have done last week would absolutely have hoped they get horsed. Happy with them to win routinely today. Hopefullly their manager leaves and they get someone rubbish in.

Not bothered in the slightest by them, they're just a football club, nothing more.

Not sure how anyone can get so worked up about another club. Just don't pay them any attention if they both you!

[Jones28]

Celtic winning is what I want, but I will shed no tears if ICT win the cup.

[Vault Boy]

Hibs would miss out on both a European competition and the significant windfall that comes with it if Celtic don’t win today, it’s a no brainer.

IIRC, as it stands, Hearts have earned about £5m more than us from their league position and entry into Europe. That’s a gap that needs to be closed as far as possible.

[Ringothedog]

They’ve won about 50 Scottish Cups so what does another one matter? European football for us certainly.

We very nearly closed it. Only a couple of points in it. They could get £50m more than us, it's how they invest it. Same applies to us. I have no knowledge of how the club is run, but I guess there is nothing to stop any money earned from Europe going to, I don't know, do up ER or East Mains!

If ICT win I wonder if the tractors and diggers will be getting put back on the low loader Monday morning and Ben Kensell will be hot footing it down to B&Q to buy some bags of grass seed.

Yup.

Their fans can't possibly appreciate what it's REALLY like to win a cup.

It's the norm for them. All they experience is disappointment when they don't win it.

Same with the league.

For hibs I want Celtc to win but for scottish football and a good laugh I want Inverness to win.


I won't be watching anyway, weather is too good to miss.

Interested to the point I want Celtc to win as it is good for us. Nothing more, nothing less. I expect they'll win at a canter...ICT won't cope with Kyogo's movement.

[Hillsidehibby]

To be honest I hate the arrogance from the pundits that Inverness don't have a chance. If it means that we don't get into Europe then i'm good with that.

Impartiality doesn't require them to be delusional.

15 minutes 0-0 well done ICT. Now do us a favour and roll over and die 😀

[Pretty Boy]

Celtic are very flat.

They'll win this but they have been in holiday mode for weeks. Obviously ICT haven't played either but they haven't just downed tools and will have been building to this for weeks.

For Hibs sake I want Celtic to win but it does stick in the craw a bit. It won't mean much to them, maybe a bit more because it's a 'record breaking treble' but in 15 years time time they won't remember if it was their 8th, 12th or 16th treble.

The only reason Rangers were able to overtake Celtic even for one season was that Neil Lennon got offered the job after his interim spell. He’s always prone to losing a dressing room after an initial reaction and my word he made a mess of it.

For most of the last fifteen years in terms of playing squad Celtic have been streets ahead of anyone else. It’s tough to judge a manager from any success at Celtic.

[Glory Lurker]

Play a handful of games and get into Europe, seriously?

Was it not Queens getting in for 08/09 that prompted that? They put in far from the worst Scottish performance in the early rounds of Euroball.

It's worked out for us again, which is great, but I'm not against the runner up getting a space if the winner already has one.

Well in fairness, judging by the length of thread dedicated to The Rangers fans and songs, a lot of people are quite rightly concerned about the poisonous influence on society that both halves of the Old Firm have. So I think it's reasonable to get a bit "worked up". Unless you don't give a **** about the society you are part of?

I was thinking about how dark and unfriendly Hampden looked for supporters after watching the FA cup game. Modern stadiums look so bright and open today. I know Hampden is old but it's a disgrace for a national stadium.
