A reminder of the standings.

Garscube Road End predicts Hearts; Peaty FC has  gone for Rangers. With 9 points going to the correct prediction, it's winner takes all.

Surprised to hear that, as usually there’s decent mention of Scottish football (top tier) on TV down here.

On another point, it must be some kind of a record (compared to other nations) that you only have to win through FIVE rounds (if you’re a top tier club) to win the Scottish Cup (and it’s the same for the Scottish League Cup). That makes it much easier than it used to be eg when Rangers were knocked out by Berwick in 1967. Back in the day, ALL the Scottish League clubs played in mini-leagues leading to knock-out stages for the League Cup. And, I am sure ALL clubs were in the ‘hat’ for earlier knock-out matches in the Scottish cup too. It kind of takes a bit of the ‘gloss’ of the ‘Treble’ when you only need to complete 10 successful ‘rounds’ to win both cups.

Mentioned on BBC news, but not football focus. Scottish football very rarely mentioned on football focus and when it is usually only in passing.

Congratulations Peaty FC. Led after the first round, pegged back but won at  the death by a single point.

Commiserations to GRE. Was in the lead for much of the competition but ran out of choices for the final.

Thanks all for playing. See you next season.

Thank you for the congrats folks. Always fun taking part even if this time I had to sell my soul in the name of competition. Virtual sporting handshake to GRE for making the final and all of you for taking part and the good humour throughout. 

Thanks as always to BB for organising.
