:00:00. > :00:15.Hello good evening and welcome to sports scene. That is unbelievable!
:00:16. > :00:20.Unbelievable. It is a spectacular goal! That shot is an absolute
:00:21. > :00:38.beauty! Is this a bit of history? It goal! That shot is an absolute
:00:39. > :00:51.is! MUSIC this is history! Highland history! And Rangers have pulled off
:00:52. > :00:53.a seemingly un-thinkable... Alan Stubbs has guided his Burnley and
:00:54. > :01:05.into the Scottish Cup final. Collins's header is into the net!
:01:06. > :01:54.And he blasts Rangers ahead. Bonnie McKay! It is glory- glory.
:01:55. > :01:59.Through to the final! STUDIO: Who will be writing history today, the
:02:00. > :02:04.first-ever Scottish final, from two side outside of the top-flight, we
:02:05. > :02:10.review the key moments of the game, but now let us get straight to the
:02:11. > :02:14.action and your commentary team of Craig Paterson and Liam McLeod.
:02:15. > :02:18.COMMENTATOR: This is the 13th meeting since two Scotland's biggest
:02:19. > :02:24.clubs were set on a championship collision course, they have won six
:02:25. > :02:28.apiece since chapter one was inscribed, there doesn't appear to
:02:29. > :02:35.be much between them. Something has to give today. Hibs's failure to
:02:36. > :02:39.join the Ibrox club in the top flight will be felt in the coming
:02:40. > :02:44.months, but today it is all about wiping away the pain, ridicule and
:02:45. > :02:47.taunting, particularly the inner-city derision they have
:02:48. > :02:53.received in Edinburgh as the years have piled up without the Scottish
:02:54. > :03:00.Cup. 114 now, it is such an Achilles heel, such a millstone for the older
:03:01. > :03:03.Hibs fans in particular, they would have taken victory today some of
:03:04. > :03:08.them ahead promotion back to the top league. It is all they are left with
:03:09. > :03:11.four this season at least. Rangers had been idle for three weeks and
:03:12. > :03:16.they were not exactly in Bloom as they entered the league season, not
:03:17. > :03:20.that they had to be, given they seal the title with four games to spare.
:03:21. > :03:24.However they have not won a game since beating Celtic and that
:03:25. > :03:29.frantic semifinal here last month. Losing that winning feeling, will it
:03:30. > :03:33.cost them today as it did in 1994 when that Rangers team lost to
:03:34. > :03:43.Dundee United, and they were without a win in the last five? Dominic Ball
:03:44. > :03:49.is of course suspended, so Zelalem starts. Nine of the 11 were in the
:03:50. > :03:53.semifinal against Celtic, top scorer Martin Waghorn posters the side. The
:03:54. > :03:58.top scorer returning from injury just in time. Kenny Miller has won
:03:59. > :04:03.this twice, once with Rangers and once with Celtic, Barry McKay is in
:04:04. > :04:07.the form of his life. Jason Cummings is restored to the Hibs starting XI,
:04:08. > :04:10.he has eight goals in his last ten appearances against Rangers, and
:04:11. > :04:15.they are backing him to score against the Ibrox side. It is like
:04:16. > :04:20.printing money, will he have the Midas touch this afternoon? The
:04:21. > :04:25.goalkeeper Logan was the semifinal hero, and McGeouch is fit and
:04:26. > :04:28.starts. The referee for the big one is Steven MacLean, the 35 euros has
:04:29. > :04:32.described this as the pinnacle of his career as he takes charge of the
:04:33. > :04:40.Scottish Cup final for the first time. The formalities just about
:04:41. > :04:45.complete, lovely day, from Glasgow South side, for a game of football.
:04:46. > :04:58.And it is one of the biggest games of football of the year. Rangers
:04:59. > :05:03.shooting East, in this first half, in the blue. Hibs in the green and
:05:04. > :05:08.white, going towards Mount Florida. The second time, that a Rangers and
:05:09. > :05:13.Hibs side have clashed in a Scottish Cup final. Rather a fourth, given
:05:14. > :05:19.the other one in 79, given not one but two replays. Followed by a 3-2
:05:20. > :05:23.Rangers win at the end of an epic that required extra time. Arthur
:05:24. > :05:27.Duncan Weir than her own golf, and the cup went to Ibrox. Paterson,
:05:28. > :05:31.playing for both these teams, he has won the Scottish Cup as well and so
:05:32. > :05:37.he is well placed to tell us how this might go. I have absolutely no
:05:38. > :05:41.idea, it could be penalties, these teams are so evenly matched. That is
:05:42. > :05:44.an early challenge from Anthony Stokes, that is how fired they are.
:05:45. > :05:49.The referee does not want to dish out cards at this page against what
:05:50. > :05:56.Alan Stubbs does tend to set up his side the way he has today. Sometimes
:05:57. > :06:01.once, sometimes doesn't. Cummings, for Stokes, no want to hit in the
:06:02. > :06:11.middle at the moment and Stokes might find it himself, and he does!
:06:12. > :06:18.And why not? Is it on? Is it on? Hibs lead the Scottish Cup final,
:06:19. > :06:22.what a start! It is a finish on Stokes but I tell you what it seemed
:06:23. > :06:25.far too easy. The referee plays a good advantage, the ball comes to
:06:26. > :06:31.Stokes, had the referee could have given the free kick. He says play on
:06:32. > :06:34.hand Anthony Stokes tried into the box, he's not confronted and he
:06:35. > :06:38.knocks it by the goalkeeper into the bottom corner, it is poor defending
:06:39. > :06:42.but I tell you what, exactly the start that Hibs were looking. White
:06:43. > :06:45.but I tell you what, exactly the Anthony Stokes who is on loan from
:06:46. > :06:53.Celtic, puts him burning in front in the Scottish Cup final. The stuff
:06:54. > :06:57.that dreams are made. A goal on three minutes, and Alan Stubbs,
:06:58. > :07:04.could scarcely have dreamt of a better start last night when he went
:07:05. > :07:10.to his bed. Paul Hanlon. A store bought of this Easter Road club.
:07:11. > :07:17.Here is another in Louis Stevenson. He is looking for Cummings. He is
:07:18. > :07:26.going to get there, he is on his own, so will Stokes. Not quite. It
:07:27. > :07:32.is another chance for Hibs, Jason Cummings gets himself into the box,
:07:33. > :07:39.Rob Kiernan, drags it back. Maybe he should have pulled the trigger
:07:40. > :07:44.slightly earlier. Hibs, two wins against Rangers, they came at Easter
:07:45. > :07:50.Road, they didn't lose the challenge cup, right at the start of the
:07:51. > :07:55.season. 6-2, Rangers will get their first corner of the afternoon here.
:07:56. > :08:07.Rangers not going to take them short and here we go again. To Tavernier.
:08:08. > :08:13.And Halliday winds one up. Certainly capable from that kind of distance,
:08:14. > :08:21.Andy Halliday but he does not get enough on it. It is a poor strike.
:08:22. > :08:31.Good defending initially by Kiernan but it pops up. Opens up for him as
:08:32. > :08:35.well. That is a half decent effort but it is just bumping into the
:08:36. > :08:40.challenge, driving at the Rangers defence, gets caught under his feet,
:08:41. > :08:43.on the top of the net. At the moment, every 50-50 has been one.
:08:44. > :09:00.McKay. Waghorn. Pressing, looking for a bit of
:09:01. > :09:07.space. Tavernier's ball, it is a big one. It is Kenny Miller. It is 1-1
:09:08. > :09:14.in the final. Rangers, Mr dependable, does it again. That is a
:09:15. > :09:19.great header from Kenny Miller, the ball in, and absolute peach. If you
:09:20. > :09:23.don't have big strikers you have got to fizz the ball in. That is a
:09:24. > :09:27.beauty and that is a belter of a header. But he has got no chance of
:09:28. > :09:35.getting there, quality cross. Brilliant header. Kenny Miller does
:09:36. > :09:47.what he does, and what he has been doing for years. For club and
:09:48. > :09:53.country. Here is Stokes, up the other end. What an effort! E is
:09:54. > :09:59.-- he is so unlucky comic hits almost back in front. It is turning
:10:00. > :10:04.into an incredible game, Stokes music onto his right boot and it is
:10:05. > :10:09.a great space and it is a decent goalkeeper. How unlucky is that?
:10:10. > :10:16.Cracks off the post, spins out. But, magnificent effort, the manager
:10:17. > :10:24.can't believe it. Zelalem for Waghorn who is going to get there.
:10:25. > :10:36.Only just. It is a bonus, it is a corner kick. And McCain to take.
:10:37. > :10:45.Miller gets a free header! What a let off for Hibs. Look how much room
:10:46. > :10:54.Kenny Miller has got, acres of space, he just pulls it off and he
:10:55. > :10:59.is really unlucky. It is a real dramatic collapse by him burning, as
:11:00. > :11:04.the season got into its business end in the championship, they lost three
:11:05. > :11:09.games in a week. They went from winter to spring, including a 3-0
:11:10. > :11:15.reverse. Struggle to get going since then. Here is Anthony Stokes. Equal
:11:16. > :11:21.to it this time, it is Wesley Foderingham. I think it is a really
:11:22. > :11:25.good save, I thought he would go far post again, tries to catch the
:11:26. > :11:29.goalkeeper near post and he gets a really strong right hand on this.
:11:30. > :11:39.That is a great save. Here comes the corner. Desperately trying to keep
:11:40. > :11:50.it in which he has done. For McGregor, now Cummings. Foderingham
:11:51. > :11:55.again. Suddenly, the pendulum miss winning, it is away from Stokes.
:11:56. > :12:00.Another chance. Incredible pressure, winning, it is away from Stokes.
:12:01. > :12:06.but it is McGregor, he knocks this ball in. It is an attitude beauty,
:12:07. > :12:15.Jason Cummings earlier, a chance and again Foderingham got the quick and
:12:16. > :12:19.smothering his effort. This is Rangers's 199th match, since they
:12:20. > :12:25.began their route to the top flight in 2012, it began with a cup tie at
:12:26. > :12:30.Glebe Park. And digital and Lee McCulloch scoring in a 2-1 win. It
:12:31. > :12:38.was a long, arduous journey for the supporters. This is Martin Waghorn,
:12:39. > :12:47.it is good play from him. He just slipped out the vital moment. Is he
:12:48. > :12:50.looking for the decision? I am not sure, he believes that he was
:12:51. > :13:05.clipped, she drives towards the byline. -- he drives. Is that what
:13:06. > :13:10.he is trying to claim? Hanlon, Stephenson to Stokes. He has had a
:13:11. > :13:15.go and he has forced yet another save out of Wes Foderingham! Anthony
:13:16. > :13:19.Stokes, is in the mood, when he gets the ball there is no thought of what
:13:20. > :13:29.he's going to do with this, he is going to fire at goal. It is very
:13:30. > :13:37.late from Tavernier. In trouble for that. Going head-on into a challenge
:13:38. > :13:41.like that. The referee has got to believe that is reckless and that
:13:42. > :13:54.will be a yellow card. John McGinn is the conspirator, for Hebburn in
:13:55. > :13:59.here. It is Fontaine! Does he do well to get his head on the ball or
:14:00. > :14:03.should this be a gold change? Tavernier trying to mark him. He
:14:04. > :14:11.gets the header and he should be hitting the target. You do sense
:14:12. > :14:15.though that Rangers are beginning to get a stranglehold on this.
:14:16. > :14:19.Certainly possession of the ball, very little for the goalkeeper to
:14:20. > :14:24.do. But the fact is that every time the ball is in the middle of the
:14:25. > :14:28.park, Rangers can be eight or nine or ten passes. Hebburn in get it and
:14:29. > :14:29.possession is given straight-backed possession is given straight-backed
:14:30. > :14:44.-- he -- Hibernian. Halladay, nice touch
:14:45. > :14:55.from Halladay. There is nothing that you can do about that! Andy Halliday
:14:56. > :15:00.puts Rangers in front! That is an absolute fizz, again defensively, he
:15:01. > :15:06.is trying to take a touch, turn, set it up and what a strike this is.
:15:07. > :15:11.Plus the goalkeeper, bang, you will not see a better strike than that.
:15:12. > :15:17.Logan, no chance at all just inside the post, he has got a powerful left
:15:18. > :15:22.foot, he has got an absolute belter and given Rangers the lead. It is
:15:23. > :15:27.the 10th goal of the season for Andy Halliday, who is a big Rangers fan.
:15:28. > :15:32.He has just put them in front in the Scottish Cup final. What a feeling
:15:33. > :15:45.for him, and what a feeling for Mark Warburton.
:15:46. > :15:55.Henderson to McGinn. This is Stokes. Loads in the middle here, lovely
:15:56. > :15:59.play. He scored one but he has missed five other chances. That is
:16:00. > :16:04.an absolutely must hit target, he does really well to take on James
:16:05. > :16:15.Tavernier, it is on his stronger side. McGinn finds five E. That just
:16:16. > :16:17.five E. He teased Wilson into the challenge but he has got his team
:16:18. > :16:22.into the corner has well. It might challenge but he has got his team
:16:23. > :16:31.be the best, Fraser Fyvie didn't look like he is going to get to the
:16:32. > :16:41.byline. 11 minutes left. It is in! It is Stokes again! Anthony Stokes
:16:42. > :16:46.rescues Hebburn Ian! -- Hibernian. They are right back in this big
:16:47. > :16:51.time. I said that his delivery is good comedy sticks in a good area,
:16:52. > :17:01.Anthony Stokes gets a free header, he blasted into the top corner and
:17:02. > :17:04.once again, defensively, James Tavernier, and finishes in style.
:17:05. > :17:12.Well it has been Stokes's day so far. It is his second of the match,
:17:13. > :17:20.it is Hibernian second and Rangers 2-2 Hibs. With ten to play. And
:17:21. > :17:21.Fyvie has got space to operate, he has got Stokes to the left and he
:17:22. > :17:33.delayed it slightly. Stokes, into injury time.
:17:34. > :17:37.Wow. It is a decent save, I'm not sure if it was going to go into the
:17:38. > :17:41.back post but he has struck it well. You imagine being the Hibs player
:17:42. > :17:47.who scores a hat-trick in the final minute of the Scottish Cup final to
:17:48. > :17:53.end a 114 year weight. In goes the corner, in goes the goal from David
:17:54. > :17:58.Gray, 114 years of pain could be about to be brought to a thundering
:17:59. > :18:07.end here. A stunning moment, in stoppage time. And in one stretch of
:18:08. > :18:11.the neck muscles, Hebburn in's Scottish Cup pain and misery could
:18:12. > :18:16.be over. What a touch from the skipper, he has gone up the, he is
:18:17. > :18:20.brave, he has got his head on it and he has knocked it into the back of
:18:21. > :18:27.the net. Another decent corner from Henderson and the one who wanted it
:18:28. > :18:32.most was David Gray, no chance for the goalkeeper and Hibs are now in
:18:33. > :18:35.pole position to win the cup. Rangers have played their part in
:18:36. > :18:44.the final but they are very much about to be the sideshow by the
:18:45. > :18:49.looks of things. All eyes are on Steven MacLean, the referee, do
:18:50. > :18:53.Rangers have one last chance? No they don't. Ladies and gentlemen,
:18:54. > :19:02.you are witness to a moment of Scottish sporting history. He Bernie
:19:03. > :19:08.and have won the Scottish Cup. -- Hibernian have one. 114 years of
:19:09. > :19:15.torment, heartbreak and suffering. Ten straight Scottish Cup final
:19:16. > :19:21.defeats, are at an end. It has all got too much for the Hibs
:19:22. > :19:23.supporters. One of Scottish football's longest standing side
:19:24. > :19:32.stories has finally reached its conclusion. The last time they won
:19:33. > :19:37.this trophy, it was the year that Real Madrid were formed. Newton
:19:38. > :19:41.Heath change their name to Manchester United, the vacuum
:19:42. > :19:45.cleaner was invented, King Edward VII was Britain's monarch, that is
:19:46. > :19:53.how long it has been. Generation after generation has suffered. These
:19:54. > :19:59.are the scenes that the SFA will not want to see. Stokes opened the
:20:00. > :20:05.scoring, Stokes made it 2-2, and the Hebburn Ian skipper David Gray has
:20:06. > :20:09.one Hibernian the Scottish Cup. And Alan Stubbs is with Chris
:20:10. > :20:14.McLaughlin. Congratulations, describe your feelings to me with a
:20:15. > :20:18.long wait over? It is difficult right now, I thought that the
:20:19. > :20:23.players were on believable, with the efforts from the start of the game,
:20:24. > :20:28.and the way that we finished it. They deserve this, they have had
:20:29. > :20:34.some knocks, but they have had a long, hard season. And you know,
:20:35. > :20:39.every cloud has a silver lining and today we have a silver lining. An
:20:40. > :20:43.unbelievable result and what a performance and effort from all of
:20:44. > :20:51.the staff, the players, I think that we deserved it today. We never gave
:20:52. > :21:00.up and gave in, everyone questioned the character, and to come back to-
:21:01. > :21:04.one down and win 3-2. It is just, I'm delighted for the fans and
:21:05. > :21:07.everyone associated with the club, it has been something, it has been
:21:08. > :21:14.hanging over their heads for a long time. We have said that all season,
:21:15. > :21:18.we are so disappointed because we believe that we are good enough to
:21:19. > :21:23.get out of this league. It just puts to bed that, that we have not got
:21:24. > :21:30.the character. How many times have we managed to come back, credit to
:21:31. > :21:36.the lads and it has been amazing. Well, he is the captain and he is
:21:37. > :21:41.the hero, and his picture, and the rest of the team that he is guiding
:21:42. > :21:44.up the steps at Hampden. They will now be immortalised in photographs,
:21:45. > :21:50.paintings that will adorn the Easter Road walls. There is a big banner
:21:51. > :22:02.over the far side that says time for heroes. These men in green and white
:22:03. > :22:08.I heroes. -- are heroes. Because the hoodoo is to end all who two is
:22:09. > :22:16.over. Hibernian have won the Scottish Cup, it is not a dream, it
:22:17. > :22:22.is a reality! STUDIO: Extraordinary scenes, we will discuss it all,
:22:23. > :22:27.commiserations to Rangers, but Pat, after 114 years, can you actually
:22:28. > :22:32.believe it? It is just about sinking in now, we will get to the other
:22:33. > :22:39.serious stuff later on no doubt but after the game, meeting he Bernie
:22:40. > :22:44.and fans, -- Hibernian fans, and the recurring theme was that they didn't
:22:45. > :22:47.think it would see it in their lifetime. I don't know if I would
:22:48. > :22:51.see it in my lifetime, and we should have two say that sort of phrase.
:22:52. > :22:56.That is what it means to people, and extraordinary thing to get there,
:22:57. > :22:59.the relief, and it is relief. There are all sorts of other celebrations
:23:00. > :23:06.and happiness but to be honest, relief will be top. It was an
:23:07. > :23:11.incredible day, but fundamentally it was a cracking game wasn't it? It
:23:12. > :23:16.was a great game of football and we watch the English cup final and it
:23:17. > :23:19.was nothing like the Scottish one. Great goals, commitment, fireworks,
:23:20. > :23:25.everything. The any thing missing was a red card, Steven MacLean had a
:23:26. > :23:31.great game and it was a wonderful occasion. And it got off to a great
:23:32. > :23:36.start, Anthony Stokes had mixed reviews, it was getting things
:23:37. > :23:43.started for Hibs? Yes, a good advantage, what he does, your tax
:23:44. > :23:49.the Rangers goal. And Rob Kiernan wax off and found. He doesn't make
:23:50. > :23:54.any sort of challenge. He is out of position, here goes Stokes, 20 just
:23:55. > :23:59.backs. And that allows it really one-on-one. Against Foderingham and
:24:00. > :24:02.what a great finish it was. Out of his feet into a far corner and what
:24:03. > :24:08.a start. It was a brilliant start and they never looked back. It
:24:09. > :24:13.seemed so simple and it was a recurring theme, a carbon copy, and
:24:14. > :24:16.the end result was a goal? Everybody knows that the two full-backs, and
:24:17. > :24:21.applaud Rangers for doing that because they are very cavalier.
:24:22. > :24:29.There is a downside, we were chatting it, you leave a gap. He
:24:30. > :24:34.comes over, he is a centre-back, he wants to be in a right back
:24:35. > :24:37.position. Because he's overcompensating going forward, we
:24:38. > :24:43.were chatting about it. If you are going to get it, you have to have a
:24:44. > :24:47.set midfield that covers. Handball wasn't the. He would normally go
:24:48. > :24:52.into the back. Like but the positives, have having Tavernier
:24:53. > :24:57.bomb forward is that he is such an attacking influence for Rangers as
:24:58. > :25:00.it proves? Yes he's in that place, for the first time and again he puts
:25:01. > :25:07.it into the box and that is a magnificent area for Kenny Miller.
:25:08. > :25:12.Two goals already, it is a good ball in, I think McGregor doesn't expect
:25:13. > :25:20.Kenny Miller to go across, you does ever so well, Hanlon misses it and
:25:21. > :25:24.then bang, Logan no chance. It is incredible to think what Kenny
:25:25. > :25:30.Miller was doing, he was the player, the best player by a good distance.
:25:31. > :25:36.People thinking last season was his last season, but I think he has got
:25:37. > :25:40.another season at the. Andy Halliday's strike takes some
:25:41. > :25:43.beating? Over the past year they have had a lot of goals but I tell
:25:44. > :25:49.you what, they have had some stunning cracks. You mention the odd
:25:50. > :26:00.not closing down, forget about that, it is a cup final, he has leathered
:26:01. > :26:03.the ball in. In the corner. If you are thinking if that goal wins a
:26:04. > :26:08.Scottish Cup final, deserves to win the Champions League final and what
:26:09. > :26:13.a hit. After what Hibs have gone through, you can almost see it. The
:26:14. > :26:19.more tactical changes through the match, Hibs of course started with
:26:20. > :26:23.3-5- two, yes they were 2-1 down, Henderson came on straightaway,
:26:24. > :26:27.going to the diamonds and they never looked back, they had a stranglehold
:26:28. > :26:32.on the game. The Rangers midfielder is all over the place. They did not
:26:33. > :26:37.track back, and Hibs really got hold of the game. Hibs involved in terms
:26:38. > :26:51.of the equaliser, a slight push from Anthony Stokes? You are not having
:26:52. > :26:53.that? Rangers didn't have anybody in front, here's a big hole, a nudge,
:26:54. > :26:56.thanks very much. Really holding your ground. Putting your head, he
:26:57. > :26:59.doesn't do that and he pays the price and bang. I did say at the
:27:00. > :27:01.time Rangers will not survive this, and bang straightaway they conceded
:27:02. > :27:05.that goal and from that point on there was only one winner.
:27:06. > :27:12.Absolutely, David Gray proved that to be the case, what a moment for
:27:13. > :27:15.the captain? A dream moment, in many ways, the 12 players, want more than
:27:16. > :27:21.anything else to score score that goal. Maybe Stevenson, maybe grey
:27:22. > :27:25.because of what they did. He was injured moments earlier, that is
:27:26. > :27:30.just one thing, that is just a Sir, that I want to get the more than
:27:31. > :27:35.anyone else. And of course, in the 92nd minute and
:27:36. > :27:43.if Hibernian, if anyone is gated score a late goal, it would be
:27:44. > :27:48.Rangers. But actually, Hibernian got stronger. That game really deserved
:27:49. > :27:52.it. It is a goal that will go down in Hibs history, for a player that
:27:53. > :27:56.has had to go through a lot of agonising throughout the season, he
:27:57. > :27:59.did it great. Lead by example, he had a great game today. He was
:28:00. > :28:05.did it great. Lead by example, he inspirational captain? Whether it
:28:06. > :28:10.was wingback or right back, he did get the injuries. He still ploughs
:28:11. > :28:15.forward, that was Rangers's best side in the semifinal, you nullified
:28:16. > :28:19.that pretty well. He came across, and Hibs defended, Rangers really
:28:20. > :28:24.well. But you see, here is the tackle where he hurt himself. He
:28:25. > :28:30.drops onto him and he needed a bit of treatment, lucky he didn't go off
:28:31. > :28:34.because he scored the winner. Nobody in that league, a lot of people
:28:35. > :28:39.playing in the high leagues even got close. They were brilliant this
:28:40. > :28:45.season. He did that, not only that as well. He scores that goal. And he
:28:46. > :28:50.does that, it is almost unbelievable to see a Hibs captain lifting it.
:28:51. > :28:56.They have gone through a lot of finals. So they know the agony,
:28:57. > :29:00.today was ecstasy. It is unbelievable, a moment of history,
:29:01. > :29:05.had Stokes, he has had a lot of critics. It has not quite happen to
:29:06. > :29:09.him in so many games. You see a lot of people in social media saying,
:29:10. > :29:17.Celtic a new manager, suddenly Anthony Stokes. Yes you can say
:29:18. > :29:21.that, also, the fact that he is a big team player. He has turned up
:29:22. > :29:28.for the big ones. And boy did he turn up for today, he was fabulous.
:29:29. > :29:32.Look at this, this is just after Rangers scored, straightaway, he
:29:33. > :29:37.could have gone back. A carbon copy of the first goal. If you listen,
:29:38. > :29:43.when he came into the Hibs side, it would take six or seven games, but
:29:44. > :29:48.you needed them one or two games. But in this one, he turned up. You
:29:49. > :29:51.remember when he's at his best for Celtic, and he was unstoppable for
:29:52. > :29:57.periods of time, that was right up there. He looks fit and sharp. And
:29:58. > :30:03.right at the end of the game, we are talking, this is 91st minute, 91
:30:04. > :30:07.minutes and 30 seconds, looking as lively and sharp as anyone else. I
:30:08. > :30:13.mean it was fantastic and to give that cynically everything. It was a
:30:14. > :30:17.big performance. Man of the Match easily. How to re-evaluate his
:30:18. > :30:22.season, the disappointment of not going up to the Premiership. How do
:30:23. > :30:27.you sum it up. I don't think these players realise what they have done.
:30:28. > :30:31.People will not believe it, these players now are heroes and legends,
:30:32. > :30:36.they are immortal more than anything else. I think that the Hibs fans,
:30:37. > :30:40.they will take not going up for the fact that they have won the Scottish
:30:41. > :30:45.Cup. I think at the end of the daily haven't gone up, they have still had
:30:46. > :30:50.a brilliant season, winning the Scottish Derby cancels everything.
:30:51. > :30:56.100%, it is more than 140 minutes since Hibs won a Scottish Cup. I
:30:57. > :30:59.that fact. We saw there was a major pitch invasion at the end, our
:31:00. > :31:02.senior football supporter Chris Maguire Clint got reaction
:31:03. > :31:08.afterwards, starting with the Rangers chairman. -- Hibs chairman.
:31:09. > :31:20.114 years of enthusiasm, led to -- Inc easy as. I think that police
:31:21. > :31:23.and the stewards and everybody, they deserve credit for the professional
:31:24. > :31:28.way in which they dealt with something which was totally
:31:29. > :31:32.unexpected, they managed to allow time, for the over exuberance to die
:31:33. > :31:38.down and get everyone back in the seats to allow the thing to take
:31:39. > :31:52.place. You see over exuberance but Rangers
:31:53. > :31:56.are saying some of their players were assaulted. That is quite
:31:57. > :31:59.serious? Yes, I haven't heard that. That is serious. That is something
:32:00. > :32:04.nothing at the club would condone would have wanted. We have an
:32:05. > :32:08.operational plan that involves all of the parties involved staging the
:32:09. > :32:18.event. Police Scotland, the FA, Hampden Park, and the company
:32:19. > :32:21.involved in security. Finally, as this embarrassing for Scottish
:32:22. > :32:28.football this evening? Yes, this is embarrassing. A showpiece match of
:32:29. > :32:32.football that will no be member for appalling scenes at the end of this
:32:33. > :32:37.match. That Rangers statement referred to by Chris Maguire Clinton
:32:38. > :32:53.their... -- Chris McLaughlin. And here the police statement from
:32:54. > :32:58.police Scotland... And here the police statement
:32:59. > :33:01.from olice Scotland... And here the police statement
:33:02. > :33:24.from Police Scotland... Were no joined in the studio by our
:33:25. > :33:31.senior football reporter Chris Maclachlan. What is the latest on
:33:32. > :33:35.this followed on the pitch invasion? Jonathan, a police investigation is
:33:36. > :33:39.underway and that will have to happen before anything else. The
:33:40. > :33:42.police will be poring over the ditch, speaking to eyewitnesses, and
:33:43. > :33:45.you would expect in the next few days and weeks there will be a few
:33:46. > :33:50.knocks at a few doors. After that there will be a wider investigation
:33:51. > :34:03.with all those involved putting this event on today, Police Scotland, the
:34:04. > :34:10.Scottish FA, G4S, both clubs, divided what went round doing wrong
:34:11. > :34:13.and why. This was a category C game, high-risk match, everyone knew there
:34:14. > :34:16.was a potential for a pitch invasion. There were hundreds of
:34:17. > :34:21.police and stewards on hand. So the big question will be why. Was there
:34:22. > :34:26.more to it than over exuberance, and what punishment do you think Hibs
:34:27. > :34:29.can expect? That remains to be seen and will all depend on the
:34:30. > :34:33.independent judicial panel set up by the SFA themselves. Yes, I imagine
:34:34. > :34:38.that Hibs will be well aware they could be in hot water over this. The
:34:39. > :34:40.other issue is of course that the Scottish FA are ultimately
:34:41. > :34:49.responsible for the Scottish Cup itself. The problem is that they are
:34:50. > :34:53.very unlikely to punish themselves. Pat, this will obviously overshadow
:34:54. > :34:57.what was a historic day for Hibs football club? Climate yes, to some
:34:58. > :35:03.degree. The reason was that -- for it is that there was a lot of
:35:04. > :35:07.tension, older frustration -- yes, it will to some degree. The
:35:08. > :35:12.frustration, the Hundred years waiting, that is reason but not an
:35:13. > :35:16.excuse. It is inexcusable to do that. Especially because there was
:35:17. > :35:19.violence on the field as well. You get a lot more people running onto
:35:20. > :35:23.the field knowing games. We have seen it done in England are bit. It
:35:24. > :35:26.is just not acceptable, and the violence towards the Rangers players
:35:27. > :35:27.and staff and the violence between the fans, in excuse above. What
:35:28. > :35:33.should have been the sunniest day in the fans, in excuse above. What
:35:34. > :35:36.head history, on that, it certainly leaves the cloud. Chris, thank you
:35:37. > :35:41.for joining first make this evening. Whatever the followed from the pitch
:35:42. > :35:44.invasion it has been an historic day for Hibs today. The heroes
:35:45. > :35:48.afterwards made their way to Easter Road. Waiting for them, and expected
:35:49. > :36:05.crowd and our very own Pioli Barbara.
:36:06. > :36:15.-- HEilidh Barbour. -- set-mac. That he has done something no team has
:36:16. > :36:16.managed in 114 years. Here the Scottish Cup champions.
:36:17. > :36:36.APPLAUSE Head and the Scottish Cup have not
:36:37. > :36:40.had the best relationship over the years, but today when that final
:36:41. > :36:45.whistle went tell me what the emotions were? -- Hibs and the
:36:46. > :36:48.Salatic cup. Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park my dad supported Hibs for his
:36:49. > :36:54.whole life and never saw them win the Scottish Cup. -- my dad
:36:55. > :36:58.supported Hibs for his whole life. Unfortunately I could not make it a
:36:59. > :37:02.hand in today because it was my daughter's first birthday. Will hold
:37:03. > :37:11.it against her for the rest of really? I will counter as a lucky
:37:12. > :37:14.mascot! I came away from America, arrived on Thursday morning. It has
:37:15. > :37:19.been a long day, but definitely the best year of my life. What did you
:37:20. > :37:23.do when David Gray scored that header right at the end? I loved it.
:37:24. > :37:30.I was cheering down the stairs and all that. Everything else, it
:37:31. > :37:34.doesn't matter. This has happened. We could have won the Championship
:37:35. > :37:40.and it could have taken another ten seasons to take this. Head will be
:37:41. > :37:45.back up next year. Naumoff heartache as head go down and this team go
:37:46. > :37:49.down as the heroes who brought this trophy to Easter Road. I am sure the
:37:50. > :37:58.celebrations will go on long into the night. Fantastic scenes and
:37:59. > :38:06.these are the headlines for the export pages tomorrow. Hampton's
:38:07. > :38:13.Rege, on the Sunday Herald. And the Scotland on Sunday, glory, glory to
:38:14. > :38:20.the Hibees. Another thing we have to remember, Pat, is not only have the
:38:21. > :38:23.won the Scottish Cup. They are in Europe as well! Yes, and whether
:38:24. > :38:27.they will be ready not is another thing. They will have to be changes.
:38:28. > :38:30.It could have been a horrendously painful season but for a cup that
:38:31. > :38:32.has got to the League Cup final, to get to the brink of getting up as
:38:33. > :38:36.well. That was tough, but to win the get to the brink of getting up as
:38:37. > :38:39.Scottish Cup. That is a phenomenal season for that group of players,
:38:40. > :38:44.and then to have Europe on top of that as well. There's so much to
:38:45. > :38:48.celebrate for those Hibs fans and hopefully they enjoy that made him
:38:49. > :38:52.tomorrow. It could be a very short summer holiday for them with their
:38:53. > :38:56.first European tie on the 14th of July. In terms of Rangers, how would
:38:57. > :38:58.you sum up Mark Warburton's season, Manager of the Year, Ridgers
:38:59. > :39:09.honestly willing to macro visas well. It has stubby very good for
:39:10. > :39:15.them. -- two -- Rangers obviously winning two trophies as well. He
:39:16. > :39:19.will have to add a few players for the Premiership next season. They
:39:20. > :39:24.were out of juice, not enough substitutes. He has had a good
:39:25. > :39:28.season. I am sure they will be fantastic for the Premiership. He
:39:29. > :39:31.will get some good players to come on because players will know what to
:39:32. > :39:34.be with Rangers back at the big time. Could this be the catalyst for
:39:35. > :39:42.Hibs pixies and? Will Alan Stubbs be there next season? I think every
:39:43. > :39:48.Hibs fan would like it -- -- could this be the catalyst for Hibs? I
:39:49. > :39:51.hope they can the basis of that squad together. I would hope Alan
:39:52. > :39:54.Stubbs is drawing something right now because he can make that team
:39:55. > :39:58.quite special. Really excited already about next season. He should
:39:59. > :40:03.have a headache for the next two days. I have a sore face because I
:40:04. > :40:07.have not stopped smiling, actually. Thank you very much indeed. That is
:40:08. > :40:18.most it for tonight but 14 is back tomorrow night. The second leg of
:40:19. > :40:22.the Premiership play-off final -- Sportscene is back tomorrow night.
:40:23. > :40:27.Join us for highlight at 11 o'clock on BBC One. It has truly been added
:40:28. > :40:33.to remember, a day of history for the club, and a privilege to witness
:40:34. > :40:44.it as well. After 114 years of rain, finally, the sun shines on Leith.
:40:45. > :40:47.Good night. COMMENTATOR: Runs it and it and
:40:48. > :40:53.ships and it is Baxter's to interconnect! -- and Schulz and it
:40:54. > :41:12.is off Baxter's to Henrik Larsson! It is in! It is Stokes again. In
:41:13. > :41:51.comes the corner! In goes the goal from David Gray. A
:41:52. > :41:57.stunning moment in stoppage time. Ladies and gentlemen, you are
:41:58. > :42:00.witnessed a moment in Scottish sporting history. -- you are
