And so to Hampden! From that sunny day at Garscube Sports complex watching Glasgow University FC v Buckie Thistle to the hallowed turf of Hampden Park.

This Scottish Cup Trail has been just outstanding, some great football moments and some real belly laughs (keep your belly hidden at Hampden the Doonhamer who got naked at Cappilow!) along the way, and, to cap the whole thing off Stephen Jardine of STV calls me yesterday and asks if I can meet him at Hampden to do an article on the Scottish Cup Trail. Would you believe it??

So there I am today, at Hampden with the good lady and the kids on tow, waiting for Scottish Television to turn up. And as the clock ticks on and there’s still no sign of them, I think “That swine Hawke has just set me up here and is sitting round the corner in the car park – next to where Mike McCurry normally parks – and is guttin himself laughing!”

But then right on cue, Stephen turns up. A real nice bloke and a REAL Queens fan it turns out, not one of the celebrity bandwagon jumpers.

So, look out for it tonight on The Five Thirty Show on STV.

Match report to follow, and some nice pictures too, hopefully!
