Goodness me Hibs really can't defend corners.

Goodness me Hibs really can't defend corners.

4-1 McGowan... Could be anything now!

Definetely outside the box. 3-1! Grainger.. Very unlucky Hibs.

Ooooh controversial! Kujabi sent off! Surely game over?

Penalty to Hearts.

Poor defending from a corner again, swung back out wide then a low daisy cutter cross toed in by McPake.

2-1 McPake! GAME ON!

Off the line by McPake there...Could be a big moment in the game. 3-0 was curtains...2-0 you never know!

Got do better junkie. Get yer heed over the ba'!

2-0 Skacel Could be a rout now. Deflected off McPake.

Bouncing break of the ball. Awful defending from a corner then pingball and falls to Barr 6 yards out who pokes it home.

Darren Barr 1-0 Hearts.

Could easily have been a red card for Black there. Very lucky to get away with just a warning.

Nervy start, as to be expected.

Like the new referees kit. Atmosphere looks tremendous.... Come on then, let's have it.

Can taste it now....5 mins. I can see it being an absolutely brutal and boring yet completely unforgettable game all at the same time.

Listen to the radio!

Vlad is wearing a kilt today. Off the Ball are surmising that kilted people are cursed at cup finals and cites several examples. A good omen for the Hibbys?

I'm quite nervous as well actually, and i don't even care who wins!

You just get the feeling that this is a history defining day for both football clubs. It's a once in a life time event and it will be talked about for the remainder of everyone who will be there tomorrows natural life, and probably beyond. The future is unclear for both sides, but the triumphant fans will be able to end any derby argument with the retort: ' Aye, but remember that time we beat you in the Cup Final? ' This time next week there will have been a mass migration of one set of fans, while the others still be bragging about it. There will have been a signature and avatar change en masse in honour of the win. Gifs of the winning moment will be replayed on this and many others from here to eternity. Photographs of the winning captain and trophy with the ' pleasing ' caption will be displayed after every small triumph. Legends and villains will be made. The player who scores the winner will relive and be reminded of the moment for the rest of his life. The winning team will be doing on pitch parades 50 years from now, where they will receive rapturous applause from a new generation of supporters. No matter where the victors end up, they will be forever known as the cup heroes of 2012. The fans of both sides will never forget it, good or bad. Enjoy the game lads

Goodness me, I never thought I'd see the day where a fellow SPL team was referring to St Johnstone as a ' bigger club '. Congratulations Saintees, you've made it!

Richard Brittain going to a bigger club? Like who? Inverness?

2 new contracts at County: BBC Click Malin and Corcoran. Surprised Corcoran has been kept on, he wasn't good enough for the SPL when he was with us so I'd be shocked if he was now. Also surprised they are not looking to recruit a more experienced back up goalkeeper, 3 games in 3 years? You'll be hoping Fraser doesn't do a Gallacher and pick up a pre Christmas season ender.

I'd take Chris Smith at St Mirren. G Smith is away and C Smith is a good back up goal keeper at this level.
