Hearts went into the ‘96 final on the back of a good first season under Jim Jefferies and we’d won the previous two games v Rangers that included a 3 nil win at Ibrox (Alan Johnston hattrick). But the final itself was a disaster. We lost our inspirational young captain, Gary Locke after just five mins and our bench only had two strikers and a goalkeeper. Big Gilles Rousset lets in a horror goal through his legs and meanwhile Laudrup and Durie are running riot against our two teenage centre backs. Fair to say it all went Pete Tong!

16th May 1998 on the other hand? That was the greatest day of all time. Tears of joy.
I got married the same day as the 96 final. Due to the time difference it started at midnight. Funnily enough the wife would let me watch it as she had other things on her mind
