Strange feeling today, there’s a cup final and we aren’t involved.
{Ed007's Note - The first time since May 2016, Quinny when Hibs won it and the supporters of Scotland's newest club brought shame on Scottish football.}

In a way I am glad we are not involved as it means I don't have to subject myself to watching 90 minutes of pish.

On that note I was in the Dolphin in Patrick that day a well known Celtic pub if anybody knows it. Have never had any time for Hibs or their supporters and travelling to Easter Road many years ago wasn’t much better if any than a trip to Tynecastle in terms of a welcome. But we ended up in a singalong with the Hibs supporters on their way back from Hampden that day having won the cup and had a great craic. I have since watched their rendition of Sunshine on Leith at Hampden that day after the other lot had been escorted off the park with the assistance of police horses having done themselves proud once again. Tremendous.
We have some fantastic Celtic songs but Sunshine on Leith must be up there with one of the best football anthems anywhere. They sang it at Easter Road when they gathered having successfully fought off Mercer’s merger with Hearts.
Not Celtic related just a wee melancholic walk down memory lane post with Sunday morning coming down.

JFP, I'm starting to worry about you with the amount of pubs you're mentioning in your posts lately.
I really do not want you visiting my Mrs when she's on duty (lol) .
