We also had the disappointment of 1967 to remember.

That we beat them that day was wholly down to a talented and resilient XI doing exactly the individual and collective tasks given to them, and probably Celtic?s slight complacency.

It was ****ing magic.
Excellent stuff. That is much appreciated.

Every man and their dog has written off Aberdeen?s chances of winning this cup. I don?t think there will be one pundit in the land that will think the Dons will have their hands on the trophy. We must use that as a positive. Everyone in the country is backing Celtic to win and even our own fans are extremely sceptical (including myself).
Aberdeen have that opportunity though as we are the team they must face. Let us surprise the whole of Scotland and Scottish football and beat the clear favourites.

White will already be going on the handles of the trophy so matching it up with beautiful red is how you put a wry smile on the faces of those who doubt it can be accomplished. Scottish football needs an Aberdeen victory!
