Tennents Scottish Cup Final
Saturday 22nd May 2004
Live on Sky Sports/BBC
Kick Off 3pm
It will be Hampden in the Sun tomorrow, as Celtic take on Dunfermline for season 2003/04's Scottish Cup Final. As well as this, it is Henrik Larsson's final competitive match in the Hoops.
With the league already in the bag, the domestic double will be secured with a Celtic victory tomorrow.
Dunfermline are certainly in form, and have already beaten us this month. They will be up for the game and our defence, which has been shakey in recent weeks, will have to be on form to contain their strikers, Crawford and Brewster.
The Pars have sold out their 15,000 allocation for the game, but this will mostly be filled with Celtic fans. Isn't it ironic that the team who, up until we had clinched the league title, were the only side to have taken points off of us, will be our competition for the Scottish Cup? It is also time to sicken this team after their lying down to Rangers last season.
Neil Lennon has this week warned that the success of Celtic's season will depend on a victory tomorrow. This is party true, as we only have one current trophy to show for our tremendous efforts this year.
Iy would not surprise me at all if Henrik Larsson bowed out with a hat-trick tomorrow. It is his last competitive game and he likes making his mark where it counts.
David Marshall will start in goals, as Rab Douglas is injured. Sutton and Thompson will return to the starting line-up, and the rest of the team can basically pick itself. The team who beat Rangers a fortnight ago will be the starting team tomorrow.
Enjoy the game, and let's pump up the atmosphere in this dunghole which they call our National Stadium.
Hail Hail!
Celtic-Mad Prediction: Dunfermline 0-3 Celtic
