    Cup every single time, even if it was Auchinleck Talbot. Beating them would just make it sweeter.

    I would go for the cup even if it meant relegation. Just to wipe the smug look from the Jambos's faces! Relegation can be followed by promotion. So it could be a win-win situation.

    I may even opt for relegation without the Cup win as it would get Hibs away from the corrupt ****-heap that the SPL has become for one season at least.

    Anyway there is unlikely to be relegation from the SPL this year with the impending demise of Rangers (and Hearts)!

    It'd have to be the cup - getting that monkey off our backs would be well worth the hit.

    If we were to beat the Yams in the final you could relegate us to Div 3 and you still wouldn't wipe the smile off my face

    Cup - beating the yams 3-0 in the final, or a controversial penalty in the 89th minute would do just as well.

    No contest: It's seeing the faces of the collective jambo hordes as we beat them in the Scottish cup final, and the sheepish look on their faces on Monday morning at work. They really would feel deflated forever more and totally lost without their constant jibes about our appalling Scottish cup record The high from this would carry me through the following season as we go for a doddle and a holiday, laying waste to every team in division one on the way to the championship.

    League for me. Relegation could put the club back years. It could be disastrous. Losing a cup a final against the maroon monsters, as awful as the thought is, would mean losing a one off game.

    The Cup. They can go out of business after that for all I care.

    I don't really mean that.

    Ordinarily if it was a straight choice between staying in the league and winning the SC I would say league, for the reason you state.

    However, the OP is a little more specific. The chance to finally burst that appalling cup record AND to grind the Jambos down in the final is just too good to turn down.

    League win by some considerable distance as relegation could cripple us for years to come.

    It would be fantastic to win the cup and end the long wait, it would be even better if it came against Hearts in the final but it's absolutely vital that we remain an SPL club. That should be our one and only aim this season.

    I really don't think people who are voting for the cup have really thought this through properly. Losing to Hearts in a cup final would be awful, really horrendous but in the grand scheme of things, it wouldn't have a lasting effect on the club that could damage it in the longer term, in the way that relegation would.

    The Cup, winning the cup would get that huge Monkey off our back and be the catalyst the club needs. Follow it up with a league title, two trophies and the good times would come back to ER.

    I'd go for winning the Hearts cup game and drawing the DAFC league fixture. We'd have beaten Los Yambolinos in a cup final and our superior goal difference would keep us up at DAFC's expense.

    It's called having your steak bride and eating it.

    100% Scottish Cup

    I've seen us play in the SPL, there's no glory in finishing even 3rd, the only real reward is europe and these days we get punted out by a team we have never heard off

    If we win the SC against Hearts you have bragging rights about the derby win and something tangible to touch which will be amazing for all Hibs fans to experience!

    Anyway there won't be any relegation - the Huns will get punted out the league as they'll go into chapter 11 very soon

    So because they once won the cup in the same year that we got relegated, you're now quite happy for us to win the cup in the same year that we get relegated?

    I don't get the connection.

    The thought of watching them celebrating after winning another derby with the Scottish cup makes me sick, and if we won it would be monumental

    The cup, whoever the final was against.

    I've seen Hibs relegated twice and survived it, as has the club.

    Since it's against Hearts, has to be the cup win.

    Particularly with the other posts about drawing against Dunfermline.
