I take it that the other minnows from nations like Albania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Wales etc.,  are all in the 1st qualifying round and not seeded. They don't appear in the list of 66 above.

For me a trip to either Denmark, Holland, Croatia, Greece or Cyprus are the most attractive and reachable by one flight from Scotland. Traveling via hub airports like Gatwick, Milan and Geneva can also put you within easy reach of many other places. 

Hoping the club will move quickly to make new signings especially when you see the likes of former Hearts players James Keatings and Scott Robinson being snapped up in the last couple of days.  

Falkirk also have a few good players worth considering - Vaulks and Grant for starters and even Jamie MacDonald.

To be fair to the BBC, I watched Sportscene saturday night at my hotel, and thought they did a pretty good job and covered ICT's victory from every angle!

...but then they went and spoilt it all by spending the last 10 minutes previewing the play off second leg, on a Cup Final programme ffs!!!!

I understand that players will move onto what they consider to be bigger and better things. In fact, as we grow our reputation for developing players and allowing them to move on,that should help attract replacements to the club.

That said, it doesn't half cheese me off when they end up at Aberdeen.

Could not agree more but I heard to day that the Dandies are now favourites to sign him.  

Williams is an obvious choice, I agree, with Tremarco as back up.

What no trip in open top bus around city centre? Bank Street is open, I have been told so could do the loop via precinct then head to the NMP.

We're still celebrating in Glasgow so will have to cut short get an early night and get back up the road in time. Now who's driving?

A weekend like no other to remember for the rest of my life!

Apart form the blip in 2009 it has been a year on year improvement since we came into the senior leagues. To achieve what we have done with limited resources is far more than anyone could have expected in such a short space of time. 

Here's hoping there's also a rush on tickets from St Johnstone fans willing to cheer us on and help them get into Europe.  

Now going to the Rhoderick Dhu in Waterloo Street - 2 minute walk to Central Station.

.......and their families - wives/sisters, brothers/uncles, kids etc.

Horseshoe Bar always a favourite of mine before departing from Central Station for Hampden games.

This is a tough job for John, or is it lol?

Esson

Raven Meekings Devine Shinnie

Williams Tansey Draper Christie

Watkins

Ofere.

This. But with Williams and Christie swapping wings.

Has it been confirmed that Nick Ross is suspended?

I agree. Options with Ross and Doran as subs.

Other subs: MacKay, Tremarco, Polworth, Kink or Vincent and Ferguson.

Not wanting to get ahead of myself but clubs normally release a provisional route and end point for stage/reception for parading the trophy. Normally done the day after the final.

Do we have any plans?

Good point though. As we are staying in Glasgow on the Saturday night (and hopefully celebrating a win) we will need to know what time we need to be back in Inverness by in time for the parade.

As many say above, best to give fringe and returning players a run out and rest key players for the final. Show Celtic no respect after what they put Josh through.

My pick would be:

Mackay

Raven Warren Devine Tremarco

Kink Vincent Polworth Doran

Ross Ferguson

Subs: Esson, Meekings, Horner, Williams, Draper, Sutherland & Ofere

Our tickets are for I-5 and I know a lot of others who are in this section. We're not there with sponsors. Part of allocation to season ticket holders and then through open sale to others and purchased direct from our club.

My heart has just sunk. If this is his first final then he will be out to make his mark.

It would be interesting to know if any of the Falkirk 1st team played today given their fixture gap before the Cup Final.

Apparently The Celtic Shop wanted to move to that unit in June but we got in there before them on a temporary basis and they're raging that the walls were painted blue. GIRU them, again.

I wouldn't say I'm particularly fond of Errea but if the deal with Errea makes the club more money than with, say Adidas for example, then that's more than good enough for me.

 

Regarding the comment about a red n blue stripped Adidas number - that's what Bayern Munich wear.  I seen their strip on TV the other week and thought I'd love us to be wearing our version of that.

.....but we have our version of the Paris St Germain one. I understand that special Scottish cup final 2015 embroidered versions of it will be available to buy next week.

Good info on Wikipedia indeed. The draw being on 22 June doesn't give a lot of time to get organised especially if we get a country outwith the EU and need flights and visas.

Fantastic and well done to the guys. What a great season with another year on year improvement.

Passport up to date and suitcase looked out. 1st round Europa qualifiers on 2 & 9 July. Go on and win the Cup and we first play on 16 & 23 July. Looking to keep my diary free for those dates and possibly get a last minute break to away location. As long as it's anywhere we can get flights from Scotland.

What a great offer. As fellow bowlers (Fortrose & Rosemarkie BC) can we get 2 seats on one of the buses going to Croftfoot? Had been planning Cambuslang BC but they have a ballotted pairs competition that day that would be disturbed if fans descended upon that club. Good catering and hospitality a speciality of bowling clubs up and down the country.

Much above to agree with. The boys recovered well after the bad start and held out in the end. However, I still have doubts about playing Vincent on the right flank. I would like to have seen Nick Ross in that position tonight.

I think the results this Saturday will work in our favour and we can then relax and enjoy the Cup Final even more. Get your passports ready, Europe here we come!

Sounds like it. Yet another game for the bad dog walkers - can't hold on to a lead.   

Confirmed that this game will be played on Tue 5th May with a 7:45pm Kick-Off.

That one slipped under the net. I only found out on open all mics this afternoon. Other arrangements made for that night so that's another game I'm missing. Cr*p!
