Hibernian Football Club And The Scottish Cup
Ian Blackford
2016-05-23
That this House congratulates Hibernian Football Club on winning the Scottish Cup, the oldest cup competition in world football; notes that Hibernian has at long last achieved Scottish Cup success having not won the cup since 1902; further notes that the club has competed in and lost 10 Scottish Cup finals since then, leaving many fans wondering if Hibernian could win the cup again; notes that Hibernian's victory is the first occasion since 1938 that a team from outwith the top division has won the cup; congratulates the management and players for this magnificent achievement in returning the cup to Leith; notes that the Leith motto is Persevere; and considers that it is certainly the case that Hibernian has persevered and delivered cup success.
