Hampden’s chief sports writer for BBC Scotland is at Hampden.
After three and a half decades of waiting, the pent-up frustration of 35 years came to an end. It causes harm.
Ante Palaversa approached a live radio microphone as the 20 000-strong Aberdeen fans blasted out their joy.
What’s your attitude, Ante? swear word! followed by another conversation that was hurriedly ended. “I’m sorry to the listeners. You can sense the emotion. In the gantry, back to you.
Soon after that, another attempt. Jack Milne, the hero of an Aberdeen defense that miraculously transformed from chumps to incredibly strong champs, was at the heart of the remarkable transformation.
How would you interpret this, Jack? swear word! Milne apologized, but amid the frantic mash-up, you could understand the agricultural language. sour emotion Nothing quite like it.
The Dons had a rough start to the season, and this was a shockingly exciting game. It was sloppy, tense, and scrappy. In all its uglyness, it was gloves off, bare-knuckle stuff.
It was essentially the most flawless game ever played when viewed through a prism of red.
Few people thought they had the same level of bravery as Aberdeen; they had beliefs that no one could have detected at the time; and they had bottomless fitness levels.
Because of that, it was riotously celebrated and received a win that very few people had anticipated. It had a terrifying quality, which only arises when significant events occur.
Aberdeen have won numerous awards over the years, but looking at their supporters almost seemed like a first. It would have been, of course, for some. A Scottish Cup final victory is undoubtedly a big deal for many.
When Aberdeen won this trophy, Willie Miller was at his peak of his career.
You asked him to look at him to see if there was any emotion at the conclusion. The extent of it was a grin. Miller maintained his shape on their biggest day together in 35 years.
Miller gently chided him about his poor lifting technique when club chairman Dave Cormack came on radio. Dave, you need a little more practice. The happy jist was to win a few more.

Aberdeen bark loudest during the underdog year.
For Aberdeen, the signs of doom were evidently everywhere. They were unbelievable underdogs.
With their 5-1 and 6-0 record against the Dons this year, Celtic appeared to be unstoppable.
Their ability to score quickly and frequently against Jimmy Thelin’s team was flagged, two in three minutes in one game, three in 11 minutes in another, two in six minutes in a third meeting this year, and three in nine in the most recent incident.
Brendan Rodgers’ demeanor was reminiscent of a treble, and Celtic’s nose smelt like a treble. Played 14, won 14 at Hampden. According to him, the abnormal had evolved into the normal.
Only vibes existed in Aberdeen. the upset’s year. Bologna’s Crystal Palace won the league, and the team’s improbable finalists won it.
How many shocks have we seen in Scottish Cup finals over the past 50 years and more likely than that? Two. Aberdeen defeating Celtic in 1970, Dundee United defeating Rangers in 1994.
Rarely does the Cup’s magic reach its fullest extent.
Thelin was the subject of mutterings. Where would he be if there was another shellacking? Aberdeen have consistently been the Premiership’s worst team since the end of November.
Thelin would have lost the support of many fans if Celtic had won in a relative or total canter, as the majority of them had anticipated. He found it in both his formation and his psychology, and he found it in both.
first time with a back three. Milne made his first three starts of the season in the defense. The veteran was forced inside out during Celtic’s recent offensive, which put an end to the Graeme Shinnie at left-back experiment.

Later, Rodgers claimed that his team was lacking in speed, slickness, precision, and personality and was too safe. Reo Hatate and Jota’s wit also lacked, which made them weak.
Even though they didn’t actually hit the Aberdeen woodwork twice, they succeeded in a triumphant one-on-one save from Daizen Maeda just before the moral time was up.
Celtic had 21 shots to five from Aberdeen, 81.5% of the field, and 15 corners to four from Aberdeen.
When Thelin’s defense was ready to defend with their last breath, none of it had any significance. You couldn’t keep track of how many blocks Celtics had, each one attempting to destroy Celtic’s fate.
This is not what it was intended to be, and it rarely is. In 30 games, Celtic hadn’t lost to Aberdeen.
The Dons then scored one more goal after conceding an unlucky one. The final’s flawed, madcap nature was reflected in the two of its own goals.
There was little accuracy, rhythm, and shape. There was chaos, bodies collided, players squatted on the floor, and coaches hysterically ill.
It resembled an under-eights game in chunks. Everyone is frightened of abandon. And it was difficult to ignore.
The odds were still in Celtic’s favor when it came to penalties. A penalty shootout at Hampden is not their thing. Recently, they have won a few awards. They were the favorites to win the treble even at that late point.
Then Callum McGregor’s saving Mitov’s life changed. The brilliant leader of Celtics was unflinching. Their aura is no longer the same.
The Aberdeen men kept their composure, not just scoring, but also rifling in their penalties with authority. The first three of them, on a gloomy day, were handled incorrectly by Kappeichel.
In the end, Mitov was the man. He has been criticized for some of his game’s flaws in recent months, but he is now immortal along with the rest.

Liam Gallagher has left France to concentrate on his upcoming Oasis tour. Fans were shocked last year when Noel Gallagher, 57, and Liam, 52, announced they would return to Oasis and begin touring in 2025.
Just a few more weeks until the brothers’ Oasis Live ’25 Tour, which will begin in Cardiff on July 4th, are available to fans. As the band’s 41-date tour draws near, the band has been practicing for weeks.
Liam has been relaxing in France on the Côte d’Azur – but has seemingly been keeping himself busy by brushing up his music skills as he prepares to take to the road. On Saturday, Liam took to Instagram to share snaps from his European retreat.
He shared a selfie with a caption “Lols” and a photo of himself wearing sunglasses. He shared a picture of a house with his guitar slung up beside the door while telling his story.
He signed off with his initials and wrote “Spiritual vibrations for the entire nation” next to the romantic image. In 2009, Liam and Noel famously split, bringing their band to an explosive halt.

However, they surprised their fans last summer when they announced they had reunited and would once more tour as Oasis. Details of a new book about the brothers that proves they “still really love each other” were revealed earlier this month.
The author quotes an Oasis music label insider who spoke about the reunion tour and the Gallaghers coming to terms with their differences in The Fall and Rise of Oasis by PJ Harrison.
It doesn’t matter what the girlfriends’ wives or other people say, she said. You will never comprehend those two boys’ personalities. You still genuinely love each other in the end.

The insider claims that Liam was the one who broke up with Noel and that the reunion tour should take place: “He’s a great one for making, you know, peace.” He will bring people back to order and bring things back together.
Liam has previously claimed to have initiated the first action. When asked on X, a former Twitter user, if he had called him first, Liam replied, “I called him but don’t tell anyone because I don’t want people to think I’m a soft lad and things keep it between me and you cheers x.”
Additionally, it was made known earlier this month that Christian Madden, a keyboard player, had joined the lads as a live band member.
On Saturday, the band’s first images of rehearsals in London were released. Noel, Paul “Bonehead,” Arthurs, Gem Archer, and Andy Bell will play guitar in the awe-strength sold-out shows, with Andy on bass. However, another man was identified by the report incorrectly, and we are the first to know his name right now.
Christian Madden has played with both Gallagher brothers making him an ideal addition for the tour. He has mainly played on Liam Gallagher solo tours but has also played alongside Noel in the past, sources close to the band said.
For his first full term in office, Ecuador’s youngest-ever president and heir to a well-known banana-exporting fortune, Daniel Noboa pledges to intensify his government’s fight against potent drug gangs while revitalizing the country’s struggling economy.
The right-wing leader was sworn in by Assembly President Niels Olsen Peet on Saturday at the National Assembly in Quito as a joint gesture of unity. The two raised clasped their hands before the two sat down to sway in a symbolic gesture.
Despite her accusations of electoral fraud, Noboa, 37, defeated left-wing candidate Luisa Gonzalez in the election to win a new term. He has now served a second term.
Noboa pledged to make a significant reduction in violent crime the foundation of his administration when he addressed lawmakers.
Noboa stated that the goal of reducing homicides gradually would not be negociable. We will continue to fight against drug trafficking, seize illegal ammunition, explosives, and place more of greater control in the nation’s ports, and do so.
In recent years, drug cartels, including the powerful from Mexico, have been using porous borders and weak institutions to increase their influence in Ecuador, which was once regarded as one of the more stable nations in the area.
Noboa has responded by implementing militarized crackdowns, deploying the armed forces on the streets, and strengthening security at important infrastructure centers.
The president’s security plan has drawn comparisons to El Salvador’s contentious anti-gang policies, which have been praised by some for reducing crime but which have been criticized by rights organizations for alleged abuses and mass detentions.
In the context of Ecuador’s security overhaul, Noboa has cited El Salvador, the United States, and Israel as strategic partners.
In a move that has sparked concern among opposition politicians and human rights advocates who fear a creeping militarisation and lack of oversight, his administration has also appointed Erik Prince, the founder of the private military firm Blackwater.

According to an insider, JoJo, who broke up with her ex-partner Kath Ebbs shortly after leaving CBB, is hoping for a long-term future with Chris because she believes he might be a “tremendous” father. Singer JoJo is “telling people that Chris is the one in a dramatic twist in her life over the past few years,” according to the source.

She has wanted children for a long time, the insider continued. And if Chris and they made that choice, she thinks he would make a fantastic father. They continued, “Things are happening at a breakneck pace to the outside eye, but it is going at a pace that feels absolutely right.”
