This would be the most unlikely and unexpected of cup wins for Hibs and not because of the teams involved; we're more than capable of beating Rangers and Celtc are more than capable of collapsing.
- Confidence in the manager has plummeted, as has the confidence in our players.
- We have the second-worst form in the Championship: our worst form since relegation.
- Performances, tactics, setup & management are at the worst levels since Stubbs became manager.
- We barely managed to scrape through a goalless tie against a team in greater turmoil than our own (only because of an anomaly of nature & the laws of physics).
- Our only goalscorer, with a lower hit-rate than WeeperDee in a streetfight, has got lost in his own mind and has become a parody of himself.
There were some fantastic 'written in the stars' stats given in recent years; if Hibs are going to win the Scottish Cup, it certainly won't be part of the script or 'written in the stars'.
Only Hibs could ingrain their nickname into the English language as a synonym for abject failure, before gloriously spanking either arsecheek in the final. Even then, Hibs will somehow manage to have the cup stripped from them in the most indignant fashion after fielding an ineligible Conrad Logan, who tests positive for a gravitational field.
