Nice to see Neil Lennon handling himself with dignity once again

Congratulations Heart Of Midlothian on reaching the Scottish Cup Final where they will play Hibernian in the first all Edinburgh final since 1896. Should be quite a match

What and no congratulations for Hibs?

Considering how the two teams have done in the league, I'd say is a heroic effort for us to have gotten this far!

Whatever happens in the final, at least they've restored a bit of pride with this cup run.

Cheers, Hibs

He acts like nothing but a common thug with actions like his at the FT whistle. If he'd said at the end, I think it's the wrong decision and the ref got it wrong, there would be little complaints. But running into the park, point aggresively in the ref's face, shouting " are you sure?" " are you sure?" shows the utter lack of class in the guy.

Of course, congrats to the Hibees Both Edinburgh teams in the final is a shot in the arm for Scottish football

East Stirling managed another home win today. We may be finishing rock bottom again, but we still have our pride

Oh, and fair play to Dunfermline, a storming home win, albeit possibly a bit too late to save them.

i'm sorry but it needs to be said:

Well I was truly gutted yesterday that my beloved Dundee United couldn't hold out for the 3 points yesterday but gotta admit Hearts did deserve a draw and scored an absolutely brilliant goal to equalise. The second champions spot isn't done and dusted yet but it's going to be an uphill struggle to catch Motherwell now who over the piece of the season probably deserve to finish 3rd. Now on the bigger scale of things I'd much rather be in our position than that of Rangers, Hibs or Dunfermline who will all have sleepless nights no doubt in the coming weeks. As far as who goes down I'd rather see Dunfermline relegated, Hibs I feel would be a big loss to the league aswell as any new TV deal is concerned as we could have a situation next season of no Old Firm Derby or Edinburgh one either and it's just going to make it so much harder as a product to sell. Also just like to add I sincerely hope that aswell as Hibs staying up that they win the Scottish Cup too, their supporters I feel deserve this. 102 years since their last win, I think a lot of people in Scottish football would be delighted to see them end this hoodo, I know exactly how it feels to have a jinx hanging over your head seeing as it took my team the 7th attempt to get their hands on the trophy after many a heartbreaking outcome throughout the 80's and then to lose to Motherwell in 1991. Hibs are well overdue some happiness.

So that's more or less everything decided in the SPL. Dunfermline now are officially relegated, to be honest if Hibs had gone down I think that would been very bad for the league, Ross County who are coming up I fear will face the same fate as the Pars have this season. So just that last European spot to be settled now aswell as the Scottish Cup. Now my understanding is 5th Spot still qualifys for Europe and so will 6th but only if Hearts win the cup. I however have a sneaky suspision that it's going to be Hibs day. 102 years since they last won it aswell as the relief of avoiding the drop I feel will carry the momentum the Leath way.

PS - I forgot to mention that my team Dundee United defeated Celtic 1-0 at the weekend

Hibs last goal was nowhere near over the line, just as well it it was to make it 4-0 and not important, imagine if it was the only goal of the game
