When the Huns scored the second I went for a cig outside the back of the east stand, after so many fails I had lost hope. Saw one guy and his kid leaving the ground and for a second had the same thought, others were equally despondent, but I went back in. Was standing in the back row when Stokes got his second and was hugging and dancing with a guy my age with a mixture of joy and disbelief. I now decided my original seat near the corner flag was unlucky and stayed where I was. When Gray scored it was a truly surreal moment. My only comparison was when Latapy made it 6-1 in 2000, that was intense, but I was suddenly aware I was watching not just a football game but history. The joy was overflowing. When the whistle went it seemed I was carried down the aisle by a human wave of euphoria and joy and onto the pitch. We didn't just win it, we won it in dramatic and poetic style and broke the biggest hoodoo in Scottish football. Ggtth. I shed a tear.
