I don't know if the Scottish Cup Final is viewed with as much indifference by football fans north of the border as the FA Cup Final seemingly is by their southern counterparts - but at least the former has the curious novelty of being fought by two sides outside the top division, Hibs and Rangers.

This is the scenario that probably gives the FA nightmares every time they see a PL team play a weakened line up in their own cup competition.

Whatever the indifference, it's a cracking atmosphere and game so far.

Agreed.

The Hibs goalie is a man mountain.

He doesn't look like he's passed many chip shops. That shirt isn't doing him any favours either.

Schmeichel meets Steve Bruce... Cracking game so far...

Great atmosphere and good goals so far in the Scottish cup final, could still go either way.

The Rangers player with one pink boot and one yellow boot doesn't want to stand nut much does he? The game continues to be superb entertainment - helped by the noise in the stadium. Both sides have hit the post/bar too.

To be fair to the Hibs goalkeeper, he did go along to Weight Watchers but couldn't get through the door.

The Hibs goalkeeper kind of reminds me of the Mountain out of Game of Thrones!

He is a big lad

Wow, what a conclusion to the Scottish game!!

Well done to the hibs fans ruining what was a special day for the club.

Glasgow will be a a battleground this eve

It's just as valid with that Scottish Cup Final.

I know, this reminds me of when Scotland beat England at Wembley and the Scottish fans went on the pitch and some sat on the crossbar of the goal and wrecked it

Would there be enough tazers for the amount of people that were on the pitch?!

Maybe they can borrow a few stun guns from the army?

It's something I feel very strongly about.

In 2016 there is no excuse (baring an emergency) at all for anyone other than football officals, stadium staff or playing staff to be on the field of play.

Celebrating promotion? Good - do it in the stands where you've just spent the last 2 hours.

Hope the FA Cup final is as open as the Scottish final was!

I feel that you can excuse them a bit at a lower level but absolutely no way should this be happening at a major final with a crowd of 50000

Why would the army be there??

This cheap "entertainment " at the start of the a cup final is a needless shambles.

It will never kick off on time.

Why are they making it into the Super Bowl?

This FA Cup build up is as bad as the bloated ceremony at the end of West Ham's last game at Upton Park. What the **** is the point of all of this rubbish.

Now they are saying that the kick off might be delayed to accommodate all this guff!

There is a particularly nasty trend that's been evident in the pitch invasions we've seen this week, namely winning fans running onto the pitch and goading the losing team's players.

The people who do that need to be punished heavily.
