For example more iconic victories over Celtic this century I would include the 2002 Scottish cup final , 4-2 at parkhead and even last seasons semi final ahead of the 5-1 game . Raith Rovers in extra time was more iconic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 It's got to be either of the 1-0 wins against France, probably more the away victory because of McFadden's goal which is literally iconic. The 6-6 game domestic wise but it doesn't even touch the sides of the win in Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Rangers fans share your point of view mate. I suggest you build a bridge. We won the cup in the greatest manner ever. Knocking you boys out on the way. Well that's what poses the interesting question , yous have both won the cups in completely different yet from a football fans persepectives enthralling ways . A last minute winner in a cup final is always dream stuff but as is trouncing your nearest rivals 5-1 at the national stadium to do so . Not sure what one I would prefer in all honesty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every neutual would also as it involved the cretins of the nations losing a 2-1 lead to re-write history forever. In their first national final as the tribute act too.

Benjamin_Nevis Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The Doon Derby was tremendous, even though United were an utter fucking gang and going down anyway. Relegating them on the ground they'd had so much success on (and rubbed our noses in it) was enormously satisfying. The 2016 final however just swings it for me. Only Hibs fans realistically believed they'd win the final, the game, the manner of victory, the utter #scenes at full time, sunshine on leith sung by about 10,000 fans, together made it an iconic game imo. They also mentally broke the ***s for months afterwards, which was just beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See am thinking that , experienced it before aswell in the 2002 Scottish cup final albeit I was still just a young pup at the time . But if you gave me the option of a last minute winner v Celtic in a final or destroying them 5-1 over the 90 minutes and the 90 minutes of sheer winding up that would come with that , all I am saying is I would find it very hard to choose between the two .

I was not overly confident going into the game at all , we were utter dismal in the league games after defeating Celtic and hibs had already beaten us twice that season . Even at 2-1 I was still not feeling to good about it at all , just had that gut feeling about it. Saying that I Did not think they would win it the way they did , fully expected extra time .

Dudu Dahan pal Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm not bias but the 21st may 2016 was the greatest day I've ever had watching football and I'd still accept another 10 years in the championship to experience that day again. We'd been battered more than I can ever remember in the 2 months before it, losing a cup final, losing the league, losing the play offs. One of the most open and entertaining cup finals Scottish football has seen for decades, comebacks, pitch invasion , *** seethe, sunshine on leith, Every football supporter in Scotland bar hearts and rangers wanting hibs to win and every football supporter in Scotland bar hearts and rangers basking in our glory with us. Glorious glorious stuff. Secondly I'd have France 0-1 Scotland. Probably the best and proudest I've felt watching the national team. Beating what was arguably the best side in the world at the time. On their own patch, was unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we aren't talking about us playing Hearts and scoring a last minute winner. We are talking about us winning the cup for the first time in 114 years, scoring a last minute winner against the most poisonous football club in the country. And how it broke them completely. I wouldn't change that for the world personally. Again though, stay on topic. Overall, as a neutural 21.05.16 must be the most iconic football match since the bells struck to bring in the millenium. Not personal matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Some folk appear to be misreading a key word in the thread title - the word is iconic not ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a forum and I a discussing the games in question , if you have any major issues with my posts just ignore them or don't reply it's that simple .

Sloop John B Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The 2016 Scottish Cup Final was probably the greatest narrative based cup finals in a long time possibly ever. Hibernian were a national joke for the past 100 years, recently they lost 2 cup finals, 1 to their biggest rival 5-1, managed to get relegated despite being comfortably clear in January, losing a playoff system that is in their favour and failing to get promoted in 2 attempts. They became a verb associated with bottlejobs and failure. Meanwhile Rangers had been going through a period known as 'The Banter Years' where they sloshed about the lower leagues following the old club's death hiring fat has beens, mental Tunisians and random players found on Football Manager. With a Question of Sport team captain and cheeky chappy being the captain of the sinking ship. After failing to get promoted in hilarious fashion, Rangers appeared to have got their shit together and played football in an aesthetically pleasing manner. With a coach who didn't appear to be all that much of a weapon. It appear like this was Rangers's chance to restore business as usual and get back to the top and be the force that they used to be. They comfortably beat Hibs in the league so it seemed like it was a formality. The game was wild with Irish Paramilitary sympathiser Anthony Stokes who for the majority of his time on loan was absolutely shite putting in a huge display. The game featured some cracking goals but the last header of the game sparked unprecedented scenes. A hilarious upset, greeting ****, a mass pitch invasion, a quality rendition of Sunshine on Leith and P&B at it's very best. The Banter Years weren't over as in a heads gone summer they signed a psuedo intellectual violent thug, a Harry Redknapp-less Niko Krancjar and for the hell of it Phillipe Senderos. The 2016 Scottish cup final was the culmination of the most batshit insane period in Scottish Football and there won't be a game with this much going on around it ever again IMO.
