Ramsey is the type of player Everton would‘ve signed on a five year contract a few years ago !

The upcoming transfer window says hello.

The 1998 final/weekend was the greatest two days of my life. A magical moment. Hearts waited 36 years to lift silverware.

Imagine that sort of a wait, Rangers and Celtic fans?!

Now, now davek, that’s a bit cheeky.

I hope Rangers are absolutely spent from last night and that Hearts thrash them on Saturday.

But I would sell my left kidney for a 1-0 Hearts win, a scruffy last minute goal off someone’s backside.

I think Hearts are in a great position here, you're playing a Rangers team that's just after losing a european final.

I'm not saying that i think Rangers will lose, but they'll be coming into this final on a serious downer.

If they can lift themselves and pick themselves up off the floor, and go on to beat Hearts then that would be an impressive achievement.

Basically what i'm trying to say is, when looking at this while trying to be impartial, is that Hearts do have the psychological advantage here.

Weird Fella Chris Sutton.

I think all Celtic fans would dream of a European final again. What’s a league title when you win it every year?

If it were Everton in Celtics shoes, I’d be offering to sever my limbs and offer them as a bargaining tool, for a European Final.

30/35/40 million?

A run to a European final would be much more enjoyable than a league title win, but the money that comes with getting into the Champions League is too good to turn down, even for a European final.

It was a very memorable run to the final, even though the ultimate victory proved to be elusive. In 2008 Zenit St Petersburg were just too good, but there will be regrets about last night though.

Oh well at least Seville is still in one piece, and to be fair i think the behaviour of the fans was spot on over there.

I never thought Rangers would make it back to a european final, but they did only to fall short in a penalty shootout! Oh well though, that's just the way it is.

We're you here Corky?

We're you here Corky?

I have no business in Frankfurt, i might go and visit there sometime though.

Get your view mate.

My family are catholic, my dad is staunch Celtic, but I find I’m neutral.

But if you exclude this year then it’s not worth £30m because Celtic haven’t qualified.

It’s a true oxymoron that Rangers performances in Europe helped Celtic qualify for the CL.

I want all Scottish teams to do well, because growing up I remember 2003, and Celtic goinge toe to toe with Blackburn and Liverpool.

More Money in Scottish football means more in grassroots.

Both players ball watching

Yep. 100%

No. Any CB dangling out a leg at that cross would have been in danger of scoring an OG.

He did right to let it go. It was only the superb anticipation and movement of Borre that made that a danger.

No yourself. He was at the first post, he's surely got to be aware of their forward hurtling towards goal behind him. He's got to hoof that out for a corner. I don't think he should be letting the ball past him.

I predicted rangers would be beaten last night. No one was disappointed.

Well, you've predicted that we'd be thrashed in every time during the knockout stages. We were beaten by the smallest, tiny margin possible. Literally. Against a team that pumped out Barcelona and West 'Am. I suppose if you say it enough, you'll be right eventually. A broken clock, and all that...

I predicted rangers would fall on their arses without Eddie Munster. That's happened. Won nothing.

That's Gerrard's team. Van Bronckhorst is a duffer.

You just sound bitter now.

Other Scottish teams are getting a crack at Europe because of the progress we've made over the last few seasons, pushing the coefficient up. Taking scalps like Dortmund and Liepzig on the way, we hardly fell on our arses.
