128th SCOTTISH CUP FINAL
Venue: HAMPDEN PARK
CELTIC 3 HIBERNIAN 0
Scorers: Hooper(2), Ledley
Celtic clinched the League & Cup double in their 125th year just as they had done in their centenary year in 1988. Hampden was a sea of green and white as the greens contested the Cup final just as they had done in 2001 and again the scoreline ended in a three zero victory to the Glasgow greens. The deadly duo of Hooper and Stokes were the difference with Stokes providing the ammunition for Hooper to fire twice into the net.
The Line ups:
Celtic (4-4-2): Forster; Lustig, Wilson, Mulgrew, Izaguirre; Forrest (McCourt 88), Brown (Ambrose 71), Ledley, Commons (Samaras 76); Stokes, Hooper.
Subs: Zaluska (g), Rogic.

Personal Note: Seated in high in the East Stand in a very similar position to were I stood in the 1988 final. This was my 14th Scottish Cup Final since 1984.
