I often wonder what goes through people’s heads, namely journalists, when they come with this absolute p*sh that Hugh Keevins has.
Think about it. Now, I’m a Celtic fan, this sort of narrative should resonate with me. But it doesn’t. In fact, I would go as far as saying that this sort of thinking is kind of embarrassing.

Keevins said, “Inverness Caley Thistle will represent the Championship and the final team in the draw will either come from that division or the one beneath.
“In other words, we will either have a showpiece worthy of the occasion at Hampden on June 3, or else a one-sided, run of the mill wash-out that would, in terms of pre-match promotion, tax the corporate imagination of the newly constituted organisation called Scottish Football Marketing.”
And it does a massive disservice to our game.
To claim the Scottish Cup Final is only worthy of the Glasgow two being in the final is hugely disrespectful to Falkirk, Inverness Calley and Ayr should any of these team make it.
The final is a reward for being one of the best teams in the competition. And, for me, we and Rangers have no God-given right to win it. You need to earn it.
If either ourselves or Rangers don’t make it to the final it’s because we haven’t deserved it (unless VAR plays it’s part).
Scottish football fans love the Scottish Cup because it’s a competition that is taken seriously by all who enter it Do we want it to become like England’s FA Cup where none of the EPL clubs pay heed to it until the semi final stages?
Hugh would be well TALKING UP the game and rather than sticking the boot in but then that doesn’t get the clicks his bosses need to pay him for this drivel.
