Hampden Park witnessed one of its greatest ever comebacks under the lights on Wednesday night as Tollcross lifted the Scottish Cup for the first time in their 17-year existence, with a penalty shootout victory over Drumchapel.
Celtic full-back Anthony Ralston is looking to bury his Hampden heartache when he returns to a venue which holds lifelong memories.
After coming from 3-0 down to win on penalties, captain Stewart O’Neill held the trophy aloft at the top of the Hampden Park steps following an epic cup final against Drumchapel Amateurs. It finished 4-4 after extra time and culminated in a 3-2 penalty shootout victory, but that doesn’t even begin to tell the whole story.

Stunning goals from Ellis Simms and Stephen Kingsley gave Robbie Neilson’s men a 2-0 lead before Chris Cadden quickly reduced the arrears.

The pain was etched across Chris Cadden’s face at the end of an absorbing Scottish Cup semi-final. For the second time in seven days, Hibs fell short against their Edinburgh rivals Hearts.
Always a good piece of advice for our brittle existence on this planet but one which is often left unheeded. It feels like that is especially true of football fans. We tend to get carried away with the good times and subconsciously believe they’ll last forever. Nothing ever does and, unless you’re a big fat glory hunter, for the most part the experience of following a club is a seemingly never-ending cycle of fluctuations.

Then two years later you can finish in third place, qualify for eight games in European football and book a place in the Scottish Cup final for the third time in four years.
Hearts supporters waited for Craig Gordon to collect Ryan Porteous’ 53rd-minute header after pushing it onto the post, praying that their physics-defying goalkeeper would rescue them once more. Hibs fans were similarly anxious that someone could prod the loose ball into the net with Gordon grounded.
