We sure are. Good evening. Scottish Cup weekend kicks off tonight. Rangers up against Anand Athletic. Welcome to the programme. You know the number 0808 17 17 700. There's a buzz about this place. It's a Friday. The team are in great form here in the studio listening on radio and also on YouTube where you can catch us live. And I'm hearing we're on Spotify as well. More details coming soon. Who have we got tonight? Well, Two guys who've played in Scottish Cup finals, Peter Grant, of course, with Celtic, and James McPeak, who was there with Hebs. James, welcome back.
Good evening, Paul. Good evening, Peter. Good to be back. Peter's got better memories of me from the Scottish Cup finals.
But listen, to get to a Cup final at Hampden, we all grew up boys, girls watching football, and Cup final day, usually sunny, and it must be the pinnacle, Peter. That was the biggest dream, Paul. For me personally, we played Celtic Rangers in a cup final, sunshine out, because you've seen it all, because it was built up with the English game and the Scottish game. You've seen it fairly in the morning as a kid. You were out practising out the back. And that was the ultimate dream, go and beat Rangers in a cup final. The sun's shining. Thankfully managed to do that. You did it? Yeah. What year? What was the scoreline? That was 89. A very fantastic Rangers team. We'd just won the double a year prior. Rangers were going for the treble this year.
Joe Miller? Joe Miller. Fantastic goal. People say mistake by Gary Stevens, but it was still a fantastic decision. Obviously, all strikers do. When people make mistakes, it was a very, very good Rangers side. I thought anybody looking back would deserve to win on that day. Right, don't worry, we're not still talking about it. I am, I am. We're right up to date with the news on transfers. You'll miss nothing here. But in the first minute, we're talking about the 89 and whether or not... Good job there was no VAR, but that's all I'm saying. Good job there was no VAR. And James, the Cup final, did you ever think you would play in one as a boy in Lanarkshire when you were playing keepy-uppy? Were you any good at keepy-uppy?
No. I know you were. Same as Peter. You watch it, it was always a big day. It still is a big day. in our calendar, final game of the season normally. And you're dreaming then to lead a team out at Hampden, look at them, they go great on the day. But... That was the Hibs Hearts win, so... Yeah, and then I missed the following year's one with injury as well, so... That was... Against Celtic, wasn't it? 3-0, I think. Celtic won that one. But, no, look, again, things in your career now, maybe when you're older, you look back on and, unfortunately, didn't go for us that day, but it was still a good experience leading up to it.
Peter still sometimes is spotted wearing the suits from Cup Final Day.
Don't you worry about that.
Just the badge comes off. From 95. You shove it back on, I think. Absolutely. I hated it when they changed it to track suits because that was the only suit I could get. I know. you were smart so what's your dreams for the Scottish Cup give us a call 0808 17 17 700 I don't think many people thought it was going to be Aberdeen who would win it last season but they did and so what's going to happen this year who is going to win it and often I say right take out Rangers take out Celtic who do you think but this year Hearts are the best team in Scotland if you look at the league table 50 points they're ahead of Rangers and Celtic Celtic now in second spot but they're both in 44 Hearts in 50
