I'm assuming that both Roos and Miovski will get a run out at some point too? Not like we really need to give Doohan a good send off.

Edit: hopefully it is a send off for mcgarry too!

Mcgarry not exactly making a case for staying so far.

Highly enjoyable game.  If only we'd played like that the other 35 times.

Apology from Hoilett in the form of an assist.  2-0 Polvara

And again.  3-0 Miovski.

Lovely finish that by Clarkson.

Hoilett, even though he'll be 34 next season, surely worth a contract. He's getting better and better the more games he plays.

Edit: As soon as I say that Hoilett cuts inside and thumps an awful cross wide. I've jinxed him now. Was good while it lasted.

Apology from Hoilett in the form of an assist.  2-0 Polvara

Clarkson clearly aggreived at the Hibs commentators repeatedly calling him "Lee", decides to score just to spite them.  1-0

Looks like all the players are keen to show the new manager how good they are at not having any possession.

Absolutely massive game, and I'd expect the winner of this one to go on and win the coveted bottom six trophy. A draw would set up a fairly intense final day, with the helicopter hovering over Tayside awaiting the results.

Whatever the result we should be delighted we've made it this far #glorydays

It seems silly to speculate on players coming in at the moment 2bh.  We have absolutely no idea what Thelin is going to make of the squad and what he feels it needs.  I would not be at all surprised if he raids his old club for a couple though. 

On that basis feels like we need a bit of idle Elfsborg speculation.  Who's worth a look?

officially survived this season, 10 ahead of second bottom with 3 games to play.

Morris for Miovski.  Not really the words I was hoping to hear in this semi-final.

Yaaassss!  Sokler finds his inner Miovski.  2-2.

not sure I can take much more of the BBC "wow, just how amazing are Celtic and their Scottish Cup record" commentary.   Although, fair play, to have achieved all those trophies without some kind of enormous financial advantage over 95% of the other teams...

No need to rub it in. Absolutely hating that I'm missing this one now. My daughter will be being driven home soaking wet from swimming in order to make the kick off on the telly. I'll probably get held up and it'll be 3-0 by the time I get in. I hate watching on the telly too, always showing close ups of players and replays when the ball is in play. I'd be far more relaxed at Hampden.

This may seem harsh, but can you please drive slowly until we get the other 2

oh my word.

Giant Pa Broon poster on the wall behind him, clearly was a closet Dons fan already.

Woohoo! Happy Mathematically Impossible to Be Automatically* Relegated Day!!!

*barring a points deduction for questioning VAR

Not sure some of our previous managers were even aware they had substitutes.

By all accounts he's very "boring", not one to criticise referees or make outlandish statements.

Fine with this, hopefully we have learned from Warnock why talking out of the correct orifice is more important than the volume you do it at.

Stop it. It’s not funny. The thought of a team of “guid honest laddies” getting trotted out at press conferences fills me with rage. 

Could be worse, are you with me?

Out, probably.  Depends on what other tediously unrewarding tasks I am trying to avoid doing on the day.

Have to say, Hearts' promotion has been night and day compared to Aberdeen's. Loads of videos from previous semi-finals to get fans in the mood and excited about going.

It's been six days since Aberdeen have even mentioned the semi-final, and that was just to say they were on sale. In that time Hearts have made six posts about their semi-final, including video content.

To be fair, difficult to build up an exciting PR campaign when your only option for a positive message is "At Least We're In The Cup (For Now)"

Typical - every single result went in our favour, except the crucial one we actually had some say in.  Next season please.*
