We've got mere hours left in 2012, so what better time to look back on some of the most important events from the last year, as tweeted by those who were there?
It might be an over-used phrase, particularly at this time of year, but it's safe to say it has been a fairly momentous year in Scottish sport.
What were the events that shaped the year in Scottish sport? We could have gone into great detail about each and every event, but we thought we'd let the tweets talk for themselves. Can you match the tweet to the event?
