Benny Klack Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Bit like 2012 final - in that a victory would be absolutely magnificent but defeat unthinkable. Given their form this season I’d be confident we’d pump them tbh - but really don’t think they have a hope in hell of beating Celtic. Their record at Hampden is dire.

Yeah, I really wish it had set up with an OF semi because I think Rangers could have won that and I think we have a better shot of beating Rangers at this point than Celtic. Beating an OF team three times in a season is very hard for us to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less said about 86 the better 😕 Almost a forgotten semi due to what happened in the final.... but that victory was massive after so many semi final defeats. Especially against, not a vintage, but ok Aberdeen team. The belief to come back after letting in that late equaliser was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less said about 86 the better 😕 The 1996 win was a massive win psychologically for us IMO. It was a game that in the years before we'd have likely lost (think of the two semi defeats to Airdrie) and bouncing back from the equaliser showed great resilience. Although we got thumped in the final, we came very close in the league cup final later that year and of course we went on to win the SC in 1998. But that semi in 96 was a real turning point IMO.

JamboGraham Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I understand the tension (does any cup final come without that?) but come 3pm on Cup Final day I would much rather be kicking off against relegation play off contenders Aberdeen than facing the need to win in Glasgow against one the uglies for a 3rd time this season. Focus on winning the cup, do that and Europe takes care of itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
