    Worldwide reaction/adulation for our win?

    Our SC record before yesterday was well known as one of sport's longest jinxes, longer than the Cubs in the World Series etc etc and there were certainly articles around the time the last SC cup final(s) about this from various media sources in Canada/America.

    Now that's all over, but I get the impression there'll be a worldwide (well, outside Govan and Gorgie obviously) feeling of at least affection for us, knowing how long we waited and went through to get to this point.

    So, especially for ex-pat Hibbies, are there any articles/links from where you find yourselves these days about our victory? I think the global football community will be made up for us and I'd love to see what they're saying.

    Personally, somehow the video of me going mental in the pub here in Zurich has been picked up by 11freunde.de, one of German's biggest football fan websites/blog. Slightly unbelievably, it's on their front page under videos

    http://www.11freunde.de/

    So I'm doing my bit to spread the good word

    Today, more than ever:

    Sent a few emails and messages on social media to friends who I've taken to ER over the years.

    Jamie Carragher posted a good tweet at the end of the game - could someone post ?

    Any other celebs comment ?

    Gotta be honest and say that other than the live coverage and the repeated highlights on Fox, there is nothing that I have seen on tv that even mentioned the Scottish Cup final in Sydney at least.

    Whoever that commentator is, deserves a wee invite over to ER at some point. He sounds like he was going more mental than me
