Edinburgh football fans – you shall go to the ball.
While Cup Final Talk’s spiteful older brother Football Talk is wrapped up in some wee game happening in Munich tomorrow, every single Hearts and Hibs fan has eyes only for Hampden.
It doesn’t matter if you are more concerned with checking the weather or checking the managers’ pre-game thoughts, today is the last day before our fairy godmother swoops down and delivers us all by chariot to the south side of Glasgow.
The talking ends here. Good luck, and enjoy yourselves kids.
