Humour me. Allow me one last moment of politics. Just one last moment, before we all roll up our
sleeves and volunteer for the coalition's Big Society. It's all in the national interest. David
Cameron has promised to govern Scotland with "respect" and will travel north of Hadrian's Wall
within the week, carrying a whopping, Calman sized gift.
Any talk about Dundee United's Scottish Cup win over Rangers in 1994 always throws up a couple of
Scottish football's great unanswered questions. How did they fail to win the trophy in the Jim
McLean era? And how did anyone ever expect McLean and Ivan Golac to enjoy a stable working
relationship. The first might be put down to nothing more than a footballing hoodoo.
So Goliath emerged unscathed, David was sent back to the Highlands licking his wounds.
Congratulations to Dundee United. They were below par. But they managed to keep their heads and
they were deserving winners. Three good finishes as well, from Goodwillie and twice from Conway.
The game itself was a disappointment.
Time then to look ahead to the game. Dundee United or Ross County. Ninety minutes from destiny.
County will have a lot of support, including what seems to be an extraordinary exodus from the
Highlands, as the underdogs. Others will just be delighted that a different name will be on the cup
by the end of the day.

I've been doing some serious historical research/mucking about on YouTube to mark the occasion. And
I've managed to find some footage of the 1922 Scottish Cup final. If you are looking for omens then
this might be one for the minnows: However, the clubs greatest achievement was reserved for April
Another day, another review of the season. Actually this one is the start of a monthly overview of
all things Scottish football across on Albion Road: This is turning into a really depressing
review, isn't it? It wasn't all bad. Honestly. 39 year old David Weir played every minute of every
league match as he captained Rangers to the title.
