HAMPDEN HEARTBREAK

Last updated : 23 March 2004 By Eamonn Maguire
Don't get me wrong, I for one am very proud of our players. After all, although we are all very bitter at the final outcome, (I mean being the dominant team, deserve without a shadow of a doubt the CIS cup at Easter Road.) We have to look back and be proud of ourselves for driving the team onto success, particularly against teams such as both sides of the old firm. I know, I know..I have also continuously asked myself who the fuck are Rangers, but we have played and beaten other fine teams. Such as Celtic and...Queen of the South.

What I felt was a great turn of events all in within both clubs, was the number of young Scots stars that played in a major competition particularly our youngsters. These days the country needs alot of young talent coming through the ranks such as those like Scott Brown and Derek Riordan but to name a few, who could help is solving the rediculous state that is Scottish football.

We carved out some chances throughout the game, which we must take as a positive, especially as we go up against the champions in waiting, Celtic on Sunday. I don't know about anyone else, but I'll be there, as I have been all season supporting Hibs against everyone who stands in our way. I hope we see a new spark in the amtosphere after the amazing run we have just had.

Cmon the Hibs! Bring on the Tic!!!
