Bearman 9 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I've always regarded The Scottish Cup as just another trophy in the cabinet, it's an end of season thing. The main event always has been the Title. Winning the Scottish Cup mean't either a Double or a Treble to cap the year, but occasionally it was there to make up for dismal failure in the League, some you win, some you don't. Don't get me wrong...I've savoured every Scottish Cup we've won in my time. Crazily I can't ever remember thinking we need to win this cup just to get into Europe, afterall we didn't need to win it in '71 to qualify. Whilst taking in the importance of actually adding this cup to our top heavy trophy room I think qualifying for a European place will turn out to be more evident in the journey. The Scottish Cup has never been more vital in our history. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is vital thaat we win the cup now,it is an unexpected progress into European football so erly in our return to the top league,but I do believe it will have a significant impact on new signings. We will be ahead of schedule if we do it and a huge step in our recovery,one that MW will relish. It is so exciting just now with MW & DW in charge and they will relish the opportunity of European football,we are finally getting back to where we belong. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and the importance of SDoW being on board regarding the EL...experience on tap can't be ignored. I'm sure Warbs will be taking every single word of advice from his right hand man which can only be a great thing. The future is really bright. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onevision 1,468 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 If i recall correctly, the last time we had to win the SC to ensure European football was the infamous 1980 final and we lost! Hopefully we have a better outcome this time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
