Tennant's Scottish Cup Final

[The Kraig]

Well, it's the final date in the Scottish calendar and either Celtic will end up with no trophies at the end of the season, or Dundee United pull off a big one (which is certainly possible due to the situation at Celtic Park).

Celtic are expected to win, but nothing's guaranteed now after the last two weeks or so, which have been insane for British football.

I'm going on record now and saying Celtic will win, by lots of goals. Each of the players will be out there looking to prove something, and I don't think it'll take long until Celtic score and Dundee United collapse. 4-0 to Celtic.

And to be honest, they do deserve something from the season, as Rangers claimed the Premier League and the CIS (League Cup).

Kick off: 3:00pm, T-Minus 50 minutes and counting.

I hope Dundee beat them, by lots of goals.

I'm with you (Kraig), Celtic to win by a big margin - a good 3 or 4 goals in it. Especially with O'Neill leaving, I think the players will be wanting to give him a good farewell present.

Celtic have 21 wins in a row against Dundee Utd, therefore football logic lately suggests a United victory.

Even with the makeshift squad Celtic have right now (i.e Sutton playing in midfield) it would be a miracle if United did win.

I hope Dundee beat them, by lots of goals.

I read on a Rangers Fan Site that some fans were trying to get money together to fly a plane over Hampden with a Banner saying "Rangers: Scottish League Champions 2005" and drop confetti.

I seriously doubt that happening, but I think that would be the best thing I've ever seen.

And really, the suqad isn't a 'makeshift' squad. It's teh same squad O'Neill's used for years now. Minus Larsson obviously.

Well. Celtic scored early as I expected, but United had a chance.

Also, their strip is rather snazzy.

The Arabs are doing better than I expected.

Sutton's Penalty > Beckham's Penalty.

Dundee United are HANGING ON, just. I can't believe how badly Celtic are playing.

[therockbox]

Only 1-0? Wow, didn't see that one coming.

Nice for O'Neill to go out with a win, I hope he'll be back in management one day.

[Different Cloud]

Hahaha. Chris Sutton's a wank.

[The Kraig]

Pretty poor game considering it was a final. Both teams seemed lacking. Celtic were obviously down a bit, since they were hit with the double blow of losing the league, and O'Neill. I think United should have played better considering all the pressure was on Celtic to win this.

But, you have to say, Celtic outplayed Dundee United and deserved to win by much more than 1-0, despite the lack of real dominance. The United defense was like a glass window, taking brick after brick towards the end. Can't believe they never broke, Celtic should have buried them.

Sutton's penalty was just the final icing on the cake for a Rangers fan though.
