What a season it is for the team. Even the most hopeful supporter could not have predicted the sharp turnaround in results following an inconsistent first few months of the season, but the team’s performance since December was what we all thought it was capable of.
Everything that we’ve grown accustomed to was captured in the draw at Celtic. organised, diligent, cooperative, and high calibre. Not only can we compete, but most importantly, we have the self-assurance to challenge the best.
Stuart Findlay is one of the key components of the system. We had a conversation last Wednesday midweek about a variety of subjects, some of which I can’t talk about at this time, but stay tuned for more shortly.
There haven’t been many teams this year that we’ve not managed to beat. The teams that we haven’t managed to beat, they’ve been really close games. There’s not been a team that dominated us, outwith one or two games maybe for a half. The further you get in the competition the more you start to look towards the end. We’ve got a tie in the quarter-final where we won an equivalent league game. We’ve beaten Aberdeen away already, so we know it’s something we can do. We know we’ve got a good chance against a team that we know we’ve already beaten at their stadium this season. Knowing that game gets you to Hampden and then you’re two games away from lifting a trophy, anybody can win two games of football on their day. So it’s not something I want to say ‘I think we’re going to win the cup,’ but now we’re at the quarter-final stage it would be silly not to think about maybe being the team to lift that trophy.
