:00:10. > :00:21.Hello, good evening and welcome to sports in.
:00:22. > :00:34.-- welcome to Sportscene. COMMENTATOR: The shot is an absolute
:00:35. > :00:48.beauty! And it's there! What a finish! That is it, I would imagine.
:00:49. > :00:59.It's gone in! They've done it again! Somersaults, Falkirk have scored in
:01:00. > :01:07.stoppage time. Its advantage to the Championship died.
:01:08. > :01:16.Kilmarnock and Falkirk grappling for a place in the Premiership next
:01:17. > :01:21.season, which side would land the knockout blow? With us in the studio
:01:22. > :01:26.tonight, Pat Nevin and Tom English. Later we will also look back at a
:01:27. > :01:31.memorable Scottish Cup final, but first straight to Rugby Park. The
:01:32. > :01:35.entire seasons of both sides about to be defined.
:01:36. > :01:42.COMMENTATOR: Lee Clark has brought Josh Magennis back into his starting
:01:43. > :01:47.line-up, having missed the first leg because of a hamstring problem. Will
:01:48. > :01:52.that be a risk? It's a big afternoon for 18-year-old Greg Taylor, who
:01:53. > :01:59.makes just his second start. Lee Hodson on his more natural right
:02:00. > :02:09.side. Peter Houston has gone slightly more pragmatic today, with
:02:10. > :02:15.Tom Taiwo recalled. Goalkeeper Danny Rogers plays his last game before
:02:16. > :02:25.returning to parent club Aberdeen. The referee is Willie Collum, he is
:02:26. > :02:36.off to the European Championships in the summer. Seldom are the stakes
:02:37. > :02:42.higher. Falkirk kick off going towards the Moffat stand. Game
:02:43. > :02:47.number 1052 of the season across all of Scotland's domestic competitions.
:02:48. > :02:55.The final matter to be resolved, who will be team 12 in the Premiership
:02:56. > :03:00.and team ten in the Championship. First chance for Josh Magennis in
:03:01. > :03:08.the channel. Good play by Meg Ennis, big chance early on! And a massive
:03:09. > :03:16.goal early on as well from Greg Kiltie! Two minutes in and
:03:17. > :03:24.Kilmarnock have lightened the Falkirk advantage. It's a dream
:03:25. > :03:30.start for Kilmarnock. Greg Kiltie back in the side and you can see
:03:31. > :03:37.why. One touch and then drilled into the back of the net. A great start
:03:38. > :03:41.for Kilmarnock. Meg Ennis plays his part and Kiltie in the right place
:03:42. > :03:48.to finish. Falkirk scored late in the first leg, Kilmarnock score
:03:49. > :03:50.early in the second leg, and it is 1-1 on the aggregate scoreline. What
:03:51. > :04:03.a positive start from the home team. Tom Taiwo, in four Blair Alston
:04:04. > :04:10.today, a big call from Peter Houston. There is the free kick. It
:04:11. > :04:22.will take something special to beat legal keeper. Mark Kerr over the
:04:23. > :04:31.free kick. Half away by Ashcroft. Will Vaulks. Will Vaulks will fancy
:04:32. > :04:34.the long throw. Every time they get in the final third, Falkirk have a
:04:35. > :04:41.method of putting you under pressure. It's a real weapon coming
:04:42. > :04:42.here it comes. This is Tom Taiwo! Well, that would have been some
:04:43. > :04:50.response. Tom Taiwo strikes Well, that would have been some
:04:51. > :05:01.well. Not sure if it is actually going in.
:05:02. > :05:14.Good work by Boyd, up against Luke Leahy. He has gone short. Falkirk
:05:15. > :05:27.standing off a bit here, not a bad ball either! They have turned this
:05:28. > :05:31.right round! Addison puts Kilmarnock in front on aggregate, and we
:05:32. > :05:38.haven't even played eight minutes. What a solid shot. Well, Falkirk
:05:39. > :05:45.completely switched off. They take the throw short, nobody is going to
:05:46. > :05:53.him. It falls perfectly for Miles Addison from about six inches, he
:05:54. > :05:58.smashes it into the back of the net. It's an absolute dream for
:05:59. > :06:01.Kilmarnock. It could go absolutely anywhere but it goes to Miles
:06:02. > :06:06.Addison, who is in the right place at the right time. Kilmarnock could
:06:07. > :06:13.seldom have dreamt of a better start to this second leg. It has been
:06:14. > :06:15.stunning, their reaction. Aaron Muirhead was unlucky, but Addison
:06:16. > :06:32.was there to score his first goal for Killie. Chance here for Falkirk,
:06:33. > :06:38.their first corner of the afternoon. Shouts for a penalty. The manager
:06:39. > :06:42.clearly agrees with them. Addison had his hand up. The referee maybe
:06:43. > :06:59.doesn't see it or see enough contact. Meg Ennis. --
:07:00. > :07:09.Another opportunity for Killie to load the box. Slater's corner kick.
:07:10. > :07:17.This is Slater! It falls into the arms of Danny Rogers. Struggling
:07:18. > :07:23.defensively, Falkirk. He has got so much time. Nobody confronts him and
:07:24. > :07:32.he has so much time to shoot. Well, they are fortunate. Will Vaulks.
:07:33. > :07:43.Slept through to Kiltie. Options left and right. Obadeyi and Boyd. He
:07:44. > :07:51.could make his mind and eventually runs a cul-de-sac. Play on for
:07:52. > :08:01.Falkirk here, with Baird. A foul by McCracken in the build-up to this.
:08:02. > :08:09.Luke Leahy, to Baird, to Mark Kerr. Only half away, back with Baird
:08:10. > :08:15.here. Sibbald! Big chance and it would have been spectacular. Well,
:08:16. > :08:19.if he strikes this properly there's a real chance this ends up in the
:08:20. > :08:20.back of the net. He's got to go to the scissor kick but doesn't get
:08:21. > :08:36.enough on it. No great power. Still got it, Lee Clark.
:08:37. > :08:38.certainly kicks every ball, doesn't he? One of the most animated
:08:39. > :08:51.managers you are ever going to see. Half-time at Rugby Park. The Killie
:08:52. > :08:59.players receiving a standing ovation! Greg Kiltie cancelling out
:09:00. > :09:06.the first leg goal from Will Vaulks, and Miles Addison adding to it not
:09:07. > :09:18.long afterwards, and Kilmarnock were 2-1 up soon, eight minutes into the
:09:19. > :09:24.second leg. It is 2-0, 2-1 Killie on aggregate.
:09:25. > :09:29.The 166th meeting between the clubs, but this certainly the most
:09:30. > :09:36.important meeting since 2010 and that relegation scrap at the end of
:09:37. > :09:40.that campaign. Falkirk know when they look back at their season they
:09:41. > :09:52.have only failed to score on five occasions. It could get edgy late in
:09:53. > :09:57.the game. Lee Clark wants his players to push an score again and
:09:58. > :10:02.give themselves a cushion. A foul by Mark Kerr on Greg Kiltie, that has
:10:03. > :10:10.presented Kilmarnock with a good opportunity. Craig Slater certainly
:10:11. > :10:17.gets plenty of it. Slater with this free kick, it's a good one! Great
:10:18. > :10:23.save and that over the bar from Obadeyi! What a chance. That's
:10:24. > :10:29.incredible. It comes at him quickly. It's a decent save. But it's got to
:10:30. > :10:36.end up in the back of the net. Amazing. How important is that going
:10:37. > :10:39.to prove to be? It was Ashcroft with the initial effort. Obadeyi was
:10:40. > :10:56.surprised it reached him. Killie 2-0 up, 2-1 up on aggregate.
:10:57. > :11:01.This is Greg Kiltie, easy to Danny Rogers. They are making
:11:02. > :11:07.opportunities, Kilmarnock. Falkirk are not creating nearly as much as
:11:08. > :11:13.their hosts. It is not a great effort from Greg Kiltie but shows
:11:14. > :11:20.confidence. Here comes Obadeyi, who has got pitched to work in. Taking
:11:21. > :11:31.on Muirhead. Back it comes, big chance! Take gold for Kilmarnock!
:11:32. > :11:37.That might be the goals that keeps Killie in the top flight. Kiltie
:11:38. > :11:43.does it again. His second, Kilmarnock's third, and it is a
:11:44. > :11:49.long, long way back now for the Bears. When he gets that room come
:11:50. > :11:54.he knows he's got pace, he knows he can take people on. He slows up and
:11:55. > :12:01.then puts on the afterburner and then like he did in the first half,
:12:02. > :12:05.Kiltie scores. He knows if you hit the target there's a good chance it
:12:06. > :12:10.can end up in the back of the net. Great play by Toby Obadeyi. -- by
:12:11. > :12:21.Toby they have given themselves that
:12:22. > :12:24.cushion to defend. Kilmarnock and saved arguably their best
:12:25. > :12:28.performance of the season when the stakes were at their highest.
:12:29. > :12:41.Blair Alston, back for Mark Kerr. And now Killie are on their bike and
:12:42. > :12:48.looking to kill this stone dead. Josh Magennis is there, and Kris
:12:49. > :12:58.Boyd is therefore a tap in! They are surely staying up now! Kris Boyd,
:12:59. > :13:06.who scored goals aplenty to keep them up two years ago, has surely
:13:07. > :13:15.done Falkirk in now. It's a glory day for Killie. That says an station
:13:16. > :13:18.or break. Josh Magennis gets the ball and the defender has a little
:13:19. > :13:23.trip at him. He goes on his own, then he has the pace and the
:13:24. > :13:31.composure to see Kris Boyd. He can't miss. Magennis lays it on a plate.
:13:32. > :13:36.The great thing about Magennis, he never thought about himself, he did
:13:37. > :13:42.it all for the team. He might have scored, but Kris Boyd would
:13:43. > :13:46.definitely score. One of Scottish football's deadliest gunslingers,
:13:47. > :13:54.who has won titles, cups, silverware aplenty. But that will feel just as
:13:55. > :14:01.good to him. Muirhead, it was a good dummy by Miller. He's back onto it.
:14:02. > :14:05.Blair Alston! Jamie MacDonald spilt it but they couldn't take advantage.
:14:06. > :14:13.A free kick to Kilmarnock to take the pressure off. That was a chance,
:14:14. > :14:19.wasn't it? As Blair Alston gets the ball away, he has taken a crack as
:14:20. > :14:29.well. As soon as the goalkeeper makes the stop... He is more than
:14:30. > :14:39.willing to take that for the team. Kiltie has knocked it through 20
:14:40. > :14:46.Hara, Boyd is in support. It's Mark O'Hara. Unusual position really for
:14:47. > :14:51.Mark O'Hara. He fancied going for it himself. Kris Boyd had made up the
:14:52. > :14:56.ground. He sees in their committee could slip a pasta him but he
:14:57. > :15:02.decides to try his luck. -- slid a pass to him. This would be the
:15:03. > :15:07.biggest Kilmarnock celebration since they won the League Cup in 2012
:15:08. > :15:11.under Kenny Shiels. That was a glory day for them. They won't have any
:15:12. > :15:19.silverware to celebrate today but it will feel like winning a trophy,
:15:20. > :15:31.especially when you see how long it taken... Surely it is too little too
:15:32. > :15:37.late for Falkirk. I'm not sure that goal is going to be given. It's a
:15:38. > :15:51.free kick, it's not going to count. That sums up Falkirk's afternoon. It
:15:52. > :15:56.looks like a foul, I think the assistant got in his ear and said
:15:57. > :16:09.it's definitely a foul. I think it was always going to be a foul given
:16:10. > :16:18.for that. Steve Miller. It has been a fabulous performance from
:16:19. > :16:32.Kilmarnock. Looking to finish its -- to finish it all off. A wonderful
:16:33. > :16:37.run. McKenzie was going for goal and smashed it off his team-mate. A real
:16:38. > :16:42.feather in the capital Clark. He will have been monitoring where this
:16:43. > :16:52.performance was for the last couple of months. -- feather in the cap for
:16:53. > :16:56.Lee Clark. Kilmarnock supporters in the stand over on this near side on
:16:57. > :17:07.their feet, pretty much, in anticipation of Willie Collum's
:17:08. > :17:12.final whistle. Taylor, he has looked assured at left-back in just two
:17:13. > :17:22.seconds dark. -- in just his second start. Everyone looking at their
:17:23. > :17:26.watch. We mustn't forget the job that Peter Houston has done a
:17:27. > :17:30.Falkirk. We mustn't forget the season they've had. They lost fewer
:17:31. > :17:36.games than Rangers in the league, Falkirk. Draws and not enough wins
:17:37. > :17:41.on the road have cost them. But again it's away from home where they
:17:42. > :17:48.have been dealt a hard blow, and Lee Clark has steered Kilmarnock to
:17:49. > :17:52.safety. 23 is of top-flight football has been preserved. Once again there
:17:53. > :18:04.is a pitch invasion, as we saw in the Scottish Cup final and as we saw
:18:05. > :18:06.here takes years ago. Goals ROM Kiltie, Addison, Kiltie again and
:18:07. > :18:12.Kris Boyd ensuring that Kilmarnock will be playing SPL football next
:18:13. > :18:19.season. Falkirk left brokenhearted, there wait for top-flight football
:18:20. > :18:23.goes on and on. It finished here at Rugby Park Kilmarnock 4-0 Falkirk,
:18:24. > :18:31.4-1 to Killie on aggregate. Kilmarnock survive, Falkirk fall at
:18:32. > :18:33.the final hurdle. After the match eight delighted Lee Clark spoke to
:18:34. > :18:37.our row senior football reporter. I eight delighted Lee Clark spoke to
:18:38. > :18:45.take responsible at evil old club, as manager. -- at the whole club.
:18:46. > :18:49.Who would have knows what would have happened if I had went down to the
:18:50. > :18:52.Championship. I didn't want to be the manager that was around if that
:18:53. > :18:57.happened. We have to celebrate that we have to use it as a warning as
:18:58. > :19:02.well. The last three or four years, the club has been fighting this type
:19:03. > :19:06.of scenario for too long. We will recruit strongly over the summer and
:19:07. > :19:11.we will try to copy clubs like St Johnstone, Ross County, Motherwell.
:19:12. > :19:15.Those clubs who don't have the huge, huge budgets in terms of the Old
:19:16. > :19:19.Those clubs who don't have the huge, Firm and Hearts and Aberdeen etc,
:19:20. > :19:22.but they are very competitive and challenging at the right end of the
:19:23. > :19:26.table. So it has been shown that it can be done and we have to try and
:19:27. > :19:30.emulate that. When you lose two goals in the first six minutes, that
:19:31. > :19:34.gives the impetus to Kilmarnock. I think we were still involved up to
:19:35. > :19:37.the third goal. We gave the ball away needlessly and they
:19:38. > :19:45.counter-attacked and scored against us. I look at this Falkirk team on
:19:46. > :19:52.the last day of the season last year in the cup final... We fell a bit
:19:53. > :19:57.short but we have improved and we can get better. It's just such a
:19:58. > :20:04.relief to finally get out of the position we were in. After Thursday
:20:05. > :20:08.I was thinking, are we going to survive? But after that performance
:20:09. > :20:12.today, it's been brilliant. It was a raucous day at Rugby Park.
:20:13. > :20:18.Kilmarnock fans truly turned out in force and in the end celebrations in
:20:19. > :20:24.the sunshine. Relief the dominant emotion as they vanquished Falkirk
:20:25. > :20:28.in some style to preserve their Premiership status. Tom, you were
:20:29. > :20:32.there, how impressed were you with Kilmarnock? Finally they found
:20:33. > :20:35.something, they found a clean sheet, a dominant performance and
:20:36. > :20:38.ruthlessness in front of goal. It took all season for them to find
:20:39. > :20:45.that performance but they found it when they needed it most. I still
:20:46. > :20:49.think it's a bit weird seeing them celebrating in front of a sign that
:20:50. > :20:53.there is winners, when it should really say "Not losers". It should
:20:54. > :20:59.be a feeling of relief really rather than a great triumph. As for
:21:00. > :21:01.Kilmarnock in sums of today... A lot of it was to do with their manager
:21:02. > :21:05.Kilmarnock in sums of today... A lot who set them up well. He allowed
:21:06. > :21:09.Josh Magennis out of the traps as well, which made a big difference.
:21:10. > :21:13.They had a lot of pace and power and in the end Falkirk just couldn't
:21:14. > :21:25.work with it. Interesting to see that the two wide players, Obadeyi
:21:26. > :21:31.and Kiltie wide, it was a nice little dummy in there as well. --
:21:32. > :21:37.Obadeyi and Magennis wide. If you go to that byline, the wingers's union,
:21:38. > :21:42.and get a cut back, it is a defender's nightmare. Josh Magennis
:21:43. > :21:46.such an important player for Kilmarnock? And was excellent today,
:21:47. > :21:48.he looks like a guy who was really focused on getting that seem out of
:21:49. > :21:54.trouble at the bottom. He was a handful. In terms of the first leg,
:21:55. > :21:59.we saw issues with the Kilmarnock defending. Today, for the sacking
:22:00. > :22:07.Kilmarnock goal, issues with the Falkirk defending. This time, he has
:22:08. > :22:13.got two on one against him and he doesn't know what to do. It's a
:22:14. > :22:18.great ball in hand it's a battle. He's saying, come on, help me, I
:22:19. > :22:22.need help. I don't want to be two on one. But his mate is running away.
:22:23. > :22:26.He needs to be out there. When that cross comes in, you need to make
:22:27. > :22:32.sure it's not a cross exactly where you want it. That ball should not be
:22:33. > :22:39.allowed to be put in with that amount of power, pace and whip. We
:22:40. > :22:43.talk about cup finals and play-offs, it's about desire. They wanted it.
:22:44. > :22:47.They absolutely wanted it and they wanted it from the first minute.
:22:48. > :22:51.When you've got that sort of fan base, and by the way a lot of
:22:52. > :22:56.Falkirk fans there as well, that seemed to lift the Killie players as
:22:57. > :23:06.well. It kept getting better. In Greg Kiltie, they really have a star
:23:07. > :23:19.in the making. In Tope Obadeyi as well. Here he is, Atleti deadeye
:23:20. > :23:24.accurate. He picks out Kiltie. Absolutely deadeye accurate. You
:23:25. > :23:30.have some with the pace that he's got hammering it in. You let him get
:23:31. > :23:33.to that byline and it is a defender's nightmare. But no
:23:34. > :23:41.complaints with Peter Houston, what he did with his team, they had to
:23:42. > :23:45.have a go. That happened in front of the Falkirk fans, who were
:23:46. > :23:48.excellent. Just talking about them going man-to-man at the end and they
:23:49. > :23:58.have had to do it again and it that pure pace of Kiltie. It is man on
:23:59. > :24:02.man again and when you break with pace, there's nothing they can do,
:24:03. > :24:09.absolutely nothing. He was caught between a rock and a hard place.
:24:10. > :24:15.It's a great run and it's a goal and it sums up, that was the 20th goal
:24:16. > :24:18.Falkirk have conceded in the last 11 games and they get away with it
:24:19. > :24:23.because of this indomitable spirit they've had, scoring two and three
:24:24. > :24:31.but today they didn't get away with it. That was just turning off for a
:24:32. > :24:35.moment but for the first eight minutes it was mayhem. The rest of
:24:36. > :24:39.the time, the defensive mistakes were because you have to go forward
:24:40. > :24:44.and take a chance. Great unselfish play from Josh Magennis and great
:24:45. > :24:49.atmosphere at Rugby Park today. That was really important. It's so often
:24:50. > :24:55.a relief for atmosphere at that ground. It was fantastic, the whole
:24:56. > :25:01.aspect of the stadium, Falkirk were magnificent with their support as
:25:02. > :25:02.well. -- the whole aesthetic. Lee Clark is such an adjusting
:25:03. > :25:06.character, is usually emotional Clark is such an adjusting
:25:07. > :25:10.today. He enjoyed that, didn't he? What do you expect from him next
:25:11. > :25:15.season? Well, he's obviously committed to the job. He has done OK
:25:16. > :25:20.in the job, he hasn't let the place up but he has kept them alive and I
:25:21. > :25:24.suspect he will change the team dramatically. Because let's face it,
:25:25. > :25:28.Kilmarnock got the job done today but they failed over the course of
:25:29. > :25:31.the season. For the last four seasons before this, they've been
:25:32. > :25:35.flirting with that 11th place. This season they finished 11th and they
:25:36. > :25:40.got away with it. But they can't keep finishing 11th, in and around
:25:41. > :25:43.that relegation area. Falkirk falling at the final hurdle, so
:25:44. > :25:47.painful for them and Peter Houston as well, but at the same time you
:25:48. > :25:52.have to say it's been a fantastic thrilling ride for those fans. You
:25:53. > :25:55.understand that and accept that completely, but you look at those
:25:56. > :25:59.Falkirk fans and they understand, they are punching so far above their
:26:00. > :26:03.weight to do what they have done for the last couple of seasons. Either
:26:04. > :26:06.used and got to a cup final last season and within one game of
:26:07. > :26:12.getting up to the Premier League. I would have loved to have said that
:26:13. > :26:15.for him. -- Peter Houston. To a cup final.
:26:16. > :26:26.We didn't often get crowds like that and hopefully it is the start of
:26:27. > :26:31.something new. Lee Clark, with his attitude, I think there will be good
:26:32. > :26:33.times ahead for Kilmarnock. Well done Kilmarnock comment
:26:34. > :26:40.commiserations to Falkirk. It has been a massive weekend of action.
:26:41. > :26:54.Time to look back on a memorable Scottish Cup final. Alan Stubbs does
:26:55. > :27:00.tend to set his side up like he has done today. It sometimes works and
:27:01. > :27:07.it sometimes doesn't. Here is Cummins for Stokes. Doesn't have
:27:08. > :27:19.anyone to edit down the middle. And why not? Is it an? Hibs lead the
:27:20. > :27:24.Scottish Cup final! What a start. That is a finish from strokes but it
:27:25. > :27:28.seems far too easy. The referee plays a good advantage, the ball
:27:29. > :27:36.comes to Stokes, the referee could have given a free and says play on.
:27:37. > :27:44.Anthony Stokes is not confronted. It's poor defending but exactly the
:27:45. > :27:49.start Hibs were looking for. Anthony Stokes, on loan from Celtic, that's
:27:50. > :27:58.Hibbert earlier in front in the Scottish Cup final. The stuff that
:27:59. > :28:03.dreams are made of. A Gonalons three minutes and Alan Stubbs could
:28:04. > :28:16.scarcely have dreamt of a better start last night when he went to his
:28:17. > :28:29.bed. He was looking for a bit of space, wag run. It's a good one. It
:28:30. > :28:41.is Kenny Miller. Rangers missed out. Does it again. A great header from
:28:42. > :28:44.Kenny Miller. When you don't have big strikers Emile Gupta has the
:28:45. > :28:52.ball in. That is a beauty that is a belter of a header. He has no chance
:28:53. > :28:58.of getting there. Brilliant header. Kenny Miller does what he does and
:28:59. > :29:14.what he has been doing for years. For club and country. What an
:29:15. > :29:20.effort. So unlucky. Hibs were almost back in front. It has turned into an
:29:21. > :29:30.incredible game. Stokes get the ball, create space. How lucky is
:29:31. > :29:36.that? Cracks of the post, spins out. But magnificent effort. The manager
:29:37. > :29:52.cannot believe it. Gary Mackay to take. Miller has got a free header.
:29:53. > :30:06.What a lead off for Hibs. Look how much room Kenny Miller has got. He
:30:07. > :30:21.is really unlucky. Here is Halliday. Nice touch. There is nothing you can
:30:22. > :30:30.do about that. Andy Halliday puts Rangers in front. That is an
:30:31. > :30:38.absolute beauty. He set up but what a strike this series. Bank! You will
:30:39. > :30:47.not see a better strike than that. Just inside the post. He has got a
:30:48. > :30:55.powerful left foot. He has hit about. It is a 10th of the season
:30:56. > :31:00.from Andy hello Halliday and he has just put them in front in a Scottish
:31:01. > :31:02.Cup final. What a feeling that him and what a feeling for Mark
:31:03. > :31:26.Warburton. It's an! It is Anthony Stokes again.
:31:27. > :31:34.Anthony Stokes rescues Hibernian. They are right back in this.
:31:35. > :31:47.Big-time. Anthony Stokes gets a free header. Once again, defensively, he
:31:48. > :31:53.uses his marker of the ball in finishes in style. Well, it has been
:31:54. > :32:00.Anthony Stokes's day so far. It is the second of the match. It is a
:32:01. > :32:05.burning's second and Rangers two, Hibs two with ten to play. Space to
:32:06. > :32:18.operate here and he has got Stokes after the left. Here is Stokes, into
:32:19. > :32:26.injury time. A decent save. He certainly struck well. You imagine
:32:27. > :32:29.being a Hibs player who scores a hat-trick in the final minute of the
:32:30. > :32:39.Scottish Cup final. In comes the corner. There goes the goal from
:32:40. > :32:45.David Gray! 114 years of pain about to be brought to a thundering end
:32:46. > :32:54.here. A stunning goal to end stoppage time. And with one stretch
:32:55. > :33:00.of the neck muscles, had burning's pain and misery could be over. What
:33:01. > :33:05.a touch from the skipper. He is brave, you has got his head on it
:33:06. > :33:09.and has knocked it into the back of the net, another decent corner from
:33:10. > :33:13.Henderson and the man who wanted most was David Gray, no chance for
:33:14. > :33:19.the goalkeeper and Hibs are in pole position to win it. Rangers have
:33:20. > :33:28.played their part in this final but they are very much about to be the
:33:29. > :33:34.losers by the looks of things. All eyes are on the referee here.
:33:35. > :33:39.Rangers have one last chance? No, they don't. Ladies and gentlemen,
:33:40. > :33:52.you eyewitness to a moment of Scottish history. Hibernian have won
:33:53. > :34:01.the Scottish Cup! These are scenes that SFA will not want to see. It is
:34:02. > :34:08.not want anyone wanted. I'm a bit emotional. I actually thought we
:34:09. > :34:11.would win 3-1. This was weeks ago and I had a funny feeling. I knew
:34:12. > :34:15.the players were so disappointed and I had a funny feeling. I knew
:34:16. > :34:20.last Friday. When you buy their reaction on Friday that they were
:34:21. > :34:26.ready for this game. I am delighted for all the fans, or the players,
:34:27. > :34:37.the pub or club. They are history makers. Scoring a goal in the last
:34:38. > :34:47.minute... Incredible. Talk me through the goal itself. A great
:34:48. > :34:56.delivery. I just knew. I could not remember. The manager said you guys
:34:57. > :35:00.believed in this phrase Hibs that was beginning to annoy you. We are
:35:01. > :35:05.such a close bond, we have said that that all season. We believed we were
:35:06. > :35:11.good enough to get out of this league. Winning the cup ends that
:35:12. > :35:15.and puts to bed people saying that. How many times have we managed to
:35:16. > :35:21.this season? Credit to the lads and everyone involved. Is this
:35:22. > :35:26.embarrassing for Scottish football this evening? Of course it is. It's
:35:27. > :35:29.a showpiece final. What has been a fantastic game of football will now
:35:30. > :35:36.be forgotten and remembered for appalling scenes at the end of this
:35:37. > :35:44.match. He is the captain, he is the hero, and his picture and the rest
:35:45. > :35:48.of the teen years guiding up the steps at Hampden Park for now be
:35:49. > :35:54.immortalised in photographs, paintings that will adorn the Easter
:35:55. > :35:59.Road walls. There is a big banner over on the far side that says, time
:36:00. > :36:11.for heroes. Well, these men in green and white are heroes. Because the
:36:12. > :36:19.voodoo to end all who dos was over. Hibernian have won the Scottish Cup!
:36:20. > :36:21.It is not a dream, it's reality. I think that perfectly sums up. It
:36:22. > :36:29.It is not a dream, it's reality. I does still seem slightly surreal.
:36:30. > :36:33.Hasn't sunk in for you? Just about. That we will be thinking about it
:36:34. > :36:35.for a long time. There are very few days in your life when will you
:36:36. > :36:41.remember that day for the rest of your life. They are not that many.
:36:42. > :36:47.The David Gray, this is one, but not just David Gray, every footballer on
:36:48. > :36:50.that field for Hibs, every fan at the game and every fan of Hibs is
:36:51. > :36:53.watching it. That is the day they will remember for the rest of their
:36:54. > :36:58.lives and that's how special football can be and our special that
:36:59. > :37:04.day was for that group of people. Just about getting to terms with it
:37:05. > :37:09.now. It was a seismic day in terms of Scottish football in terms of
:37:10. > :37:14.Hibs's achievement but embarrassing said the SFA in terms of the pitch
:37:15. > :37:19.invasion in the aftermath. Rangers players were attacked in everything
:37:20. > :37:25.else. What was your view? I will say now what I said this morning and I
:37:26. > :37:29.hope that the trainer of Ibrox is listening because he has got his
:37:30. > :37:34.wires badly crossed. None of those scenes would have happened had the
:37:35. > :37:40.Hibs fans not run onto the pitch, run down the Rangers end, run past
:37:41. > :37:44.their own and disgracefully goaded the Rangers fans who retaliated.
:37:45. > :37:51.None of those scenes would have happened if that didn't occur. The
:37:52. > :37:55.attacks on the Rangers players were scandalous, mind or tillering the
:37:56. > :38:04.disgraceful, surreal if they were not really real. Rob Petrie was so
:38:05. > :38:11.of being in his post-match comments and I'm really surprised he hasn't
:38:12. > :38:14.corrected this whole attitude of, it was over exuberance. Some fans were
:38:15. > :38:20.over exuberant, who stayed at their end in mind that they're in
:38:21. > :38:27.business. It's the ones that ran down and cause trouble but we are
:38:28. > :38:31.talking about. It was disgraceful scenes and Hibs fans started it. In
:38:32. > :38:35.terms of the achievement from Hibs, another day of celebration for the
:38:36. > :38:41.Green half of Edinburgh today would open top bus parade or the way down
:38:42. > :38:46.Easter Road. And there we have it. The word surreal springs to mind.
:38:47. > :38:55.It's brilliant. Unless you are Dan McMichael, this kind of reception,
:38:56. > :39:01.but as Pat says, these guys are history now. They are immortal. Alan
:39:02. > :39:05.Stubbs has gone down as the man whose masterminded the Scottish Cup.
:39:06. > :39:15.It seems trippy that they've done it. After everything that was thrown
:39:16. > :39:21.at them, the windups, we will have to recalibrate the word Hibs into
:39:22. > :39:27.winning. Those scenes look amazing. Did you ever think you would see
:39:28. > :39:36.those scenes? I didn't know if I would survive to see it. But there
:39:37. > :39:40.are a few things. The reasons for that was the frustration, 114 years,
:39:41. > :39:48.the pressure, tension of the whole occasion, the late goal. It was
:39:49. > :39:53.wrong. A lot of speculation about the future of Alan Stubbs. By the
:39:54. > :40:01.sounds of things, he is staying. I am planning for next season. We have
:40:02. > :40:06.already identified some players that we would like to bring to the
:40:07. > :40:11.football club to make it stronger. We will not rest on our laurels.
:40:12. > :40:15.There are a lot of ambitious people behind-the-scenes here and it will
:40:16. > :40:19.be all systems go for that promotion next season. We want to take the
:40:20. > :40:25.play-offs out of the equation and we want to go up automatically. I think
:40:26. > :40:30.there has been a perceived wisdom that he may not be Hibs next season.
:40:31. > :40:35.Kind of sounds like he will be? Good news for Hibs. There was chat about
:40:36. > :40:41.him going to Bolton. He was stoic himself when he was asked question.
:40:42. > :40:45.It sounds like he will be. That's good news. Their prime objective
:40:46. > :40:50.this season was to get promotion but if you asked Hibs fans, would they
:40:51. > :40:56.have promotion or is Scottish Cup? What would they say? Scottish Cup.
:40:57. > :41:03.The players want to get promotion, the manager and club wanted it, but
:41:04. > :41:09.in reality, when you know history is on the line, it's the Scottish Cup.
:41:10. > :41:12.Celtic will unveil their new manager tomorrow. Brendan Rodgers will
:41:13. > :41:22.become the man in charge at Celtic Park. It is a huge coup, isn't it?
:41:23. > :41:26.How big a statement is this from Celtic? Very big. They have done
:41:27. > :41:30.very well to put this deal together. He is a stellar manager, I was
:41:31. > :41:37.hugely impressed with his work at Swansea, to get them to the
:41:38. > :41:41.Premiership for small money. Huge job he did at Swansea, did well at
:41:42. > :41:45.Liverpool, petered out in the end but is a serious manager of
:41:46. > :41:51.substance. How do you expect to get on and the Scottish football
:41:52. > :41:56.goldfish bowl? His style has always been a star that Celtic fans would
:41:57. > :42:02.love to watch. It's really pleasing on the eye. It's very attack minded.
:42:03. > :42:07.This is the Celtic way. They will love what he brings to the club. He
:42:08. > :42:17.will look at what he has gotten bin, I can work with those players. He
:42:18. > :42:22.will be paid well. I think... It almost feels like boomtime once
:42:23. > :42:28.again in Scottish football. Do you expect this appointment to have a
:42:29. > :42:31.knock-on effect? I think so. I think Rangers have to bolster that
:42:32. > :42:36.defence. It's not good enough to compete at the top three or four in
:42:37. > :42:43.the Premiership. Aberdeen will come again, they will sign players,
:42:44. > :42:48.hearts will sign players, but this has been a really good season. In
:42:49. > :42:53.the last two or three months, we have seen fantastic matches, great
:42:54. > :43:02.excitement. A shift change for Scottish football next season? Too
:43:03. > :43:07.early to say. It will take time for Rangers to come back but you look at
:43:08. > :43:12.what Warburton has done so far and if he gets the money, I have no
:43:13. > :43:19.doubt over a short period of time they will get closer but that is not
:43:20. > :43:23.to ignore, as Tom says, I suspect Aberdeen will go up. I'm looking
:43:24. > :43:27.forward to it. Me too. Thank you very much indeed. It has been a
:43:28. > :43:33.great weekend and a great season. Next season may be even better. Well
:43:34. > :43:34.done to Kilmarnock for their efforts today. Until next time, from all of
:43:35. > :44:11.us, good night. # Control... # When I said, "Stop
:44:12. > :44:13.running away from your problems" I didn't mean
:44:14. > :44:16."Run full speed towards them"!
