Interesting interview with KT in the Scotsman today.
http://www.scotsman.com/sport/footba...umph-1-4184712
Amongst other things, it puts to bed the debate on whether he got a SC medal.
He didn't.

Good article. I think he deserves a medal, he changed the game when he came on at Tynie.

Thomson is all in the past.
Hibernian are going places , let him "crawl" back to greyskull.

I reckon that had he not walked over broken glass to get to Ibrox and stayed at ER 1-2 years more he might not now find himself at Tranent Juniors.
Still believes he was under appreciated and yet look where he is now? Laddie is delusional.

Thomson is a Rangers jobby who does nothing but moan and complain about how Hibs fans don't appreciate how wonderful a man/footballer/warrior/martyr that he is.
Deserves his medal though. Played his part with two excellent performances against Hearts.

I wonder how many times Kevin Thomson will be news for no other reason than just because.

It's funny isn't it. I spoke to him the morning after the cup final at the sponsors event for a good 10-15 minutes and he was absolutely delighted to have been involved and said he'd enjoyed the match "as a fan". Was still extremely disgruntled over the whole Keith Jackson thing as he was absolutely adamant he never said what was written, and he came across really really well.

Some people need to grow up, the comments aboutThomson and Rangers etc on here, sad and bitter. The guy served us well and I wish him all the best.

I wish folk would just give KT a break.
He said and did a few daft things as a young man - who hasn't?
He played his part in our cup win. A goal-line clearance and a dogged 2nd half performance in hauling us back into the game a Tynecastle and then a really solid shift at ER in the replay.
Almost anyone other than KT would be recognised for this significant contribution.
Malonga, Oxley, KT, Logan - all made major contributions to our cup win and will forever have my respect.

He would have had his 10th medal if he'd hung around in 2007 to see the job through like Scot Brown instead of his unseemly haste to walk over broken glass to the financially corrupt club at Ibrox. He would have lifted the cup as captain as well.
Having said all that he was a great player who I admired greatly and desrved to acheive more in the game if he could have avoided injury. I reckon he was probably a great figure to have around the place last season and was very unlucky not to get a winners medal in the league cup.
I think most people have forgiven Kevin his youthful impetuousness in leaving Hibs first time round in the way that he did and if his coaching career is successful I would be happy to see him back at Hibs.

In the article, he goes on about how he's such a humble, down to earth guy.......then he says he was more deserving of a medal than some of the guys who were on the bench for the SC final.
Way to prove your point.

Don't get me wrong he was interested in a move there and who wouldn't be , step up the ladder , better money and European football etc etc..

He doesn't always come across well and the move to Rangers still leaves a bit of sour taste.
However in his pomp Kevin Thomson was a fantastic footballer. I reckon I'll get zero support with this statement but he was a far better footballer than Scott Brown. Had he not had the injuries he had, 2 of which have ender careers, he woulf have made his mark in England imo. When all is said and done he has had a pretty good career and I wish him well.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Medals for those involved in the final only. That's the way it should be. It's always been that way hasn't it? I'd be embarrassed to take a medal if I hadn't even made the bench in the final.
He knows he played his part in us getting there, he's one of many though, playing and non playing staff.

The feeling I had on May 21st 2016 was such that absolutely anyone who played for Hibs at any point in our cup run, no matter for how much or little time, and no matter what they did, will always have my gratitude and appreciation.

There is nothing Kevin Thomson like better than to talk about Kevin Thomson. Seems to want to make every situation about him. I'm glad he is no longer at Easter road.

All the best for the future KT.
Reading one or two of the comments on here, you'd think that some people never made any mistakes in their lives, especially when they were young.
He's probably done things that he regrets now. That's in the past and I can only wish him all the very best for the future.

KT at times ran the midfield and even in his last 2 spells at ER when his injuries had taken his tall his ball retention was excellent.
Good luck to him.

Thomo 100% deserves a medal.
His performances against Hearts in both games was excellent, and we wouldn't be champions if it wasn't for THAT clearance.
