"What a psychological blow it was to concede that goal in the final minute of the first half." "And they need to give themselves some belief..." "And it's McQuillan." "Oh, unbelievable!" "What a start to the second half!" "The question is answered." " It's one-one." " Oh, what a response." "You know, people often ask me when managers earn their money." "Half time it's one of those times." "And the manager's earned his dough there." "He sent his team out absolutely flying." "We talked about man marking." "You can get as tight as you like against this boy." "McCall was, but McQuillan's ability was too good." "What a finish from the kid." "Here come Kilnockie again." "And Owen Coyle." "He's aimed it toward McQuillan." "Onto his right foot, the shot and the goal!" "It's another one for Kilnockie." "On me, lads." "Someone up there loves us today." "There's time to lose it yet." "Queen of the South now trying to battle their way back into the Cup tie." "And that's a bad foul by McQuillan this time on McCall." "He's hitting back after a fair bit of provocation" " and that's not clever." " It's not the way you do it." "Scoring goals is the way you do it for him." "But that's just a little bit of revenge." "He has been kicked from pillar to post, though, for most of this game by McCall, so I suppose we could see it coming." "That deflected shot was well held by Brian Burns." "Kilnockie have defended well." "That was a good confident, solid stop and that gives confidence to his defense." "And Jimmy Boyle flights it across towards McQuillan." "His overhead kick!" "Oh, that's brilliant!" "( Crowd cheers )" "And that is surely the goal which takes Kilnockie through to the semis." "It's also the goal of the competition."

"But old or new, eh, old or new, it's the team that win or loses." "I like the way my lads hung on at the end." "There have been some rumors about your team going to Dublin."

"Dad's dream is winning that Cup." "Now you're defending him." "It'd be a bad living defending the likes of you two." "I'm driving." "How come everybody's driving my fucking car but me?" "Drinking beer out of a whiskey bottle?" "What are we doing here?" "How can you know where you're going, Jackie, if you can't remember where you're from?" "The Gorbals." "The birthplace of the great Jackie McQuillan." "You say you want to get back together." "You can't even pull yourself together." "You're sill drinking." "Still getting tossed out of games." "So what's changed, huh?" "What is different since I left?" "What's in it for me and little Jackie, except more of the same?" "Katie, where are you going?" "Home." "At least I know where it is." "There's no danger of her being here, eh?" "Honest to God, Gordon, you'd think it was a virus you were discussing and not your own flesh and blood." "( Bell rings )" "Granny!" "Grandpa!" "Oh, my wee man, how are you doing?" "Maggie?" "Maggie, it's us." "Striker, eh?" "Rangers' quarter-final victory today was overshadowed by violence which broke out inside Ibrox with little more than a minute to play and spilled onto the streets." "Police were able to restore order, but not before three supporters were taken to the hospital." "Another dozen were arrested" " and flare-ups were reported..." " Hurry up, Campbell." "Rangers go through with a four-two victory at home." "But the score is still being settled in some parts of Glasgow." "In other Cup quarter-final action," "Dunfermline were victors today along with Kilmarnock and little Kilnockie." "Come on!" "Quick, get in the car!" "Move quick." "I'm Jackie McQuillan." "Now move." "Quick." "What are you doing?" "Are you stupid?" "You should know better than that." "You're lucky I was the one that picked you up." " Make sure he gets home, boss." " No problem." "Cheers." "By the way, if I had a real top, I'd give you one." "Okay?" "Vendor:" "Evening Times!" "Times!" "Evening Times!" "Gordon:" "The problem is, people don't change." "No, not in the basic way." "No matter what happens, what they go through, what they stand to lose." "You are what you are." "Aye." "Just be as hard on yourself as you are on others." "You too, eh?" " ( laughs )" " Gordon." "That's fine, Irene." "No, no, that's fine." "I'm not saying there haven't been disappointments." "Disappointments?" "What are you talking about?" "Jackie getting red-carded isn't a disappointment, just an accident waiting to happen." "I'm surprised it took so long." "What I don't need is you or anyone else telling me how I'm supposed to feel when people knife me in the back or take something precious from me." "I just think it's time you let something precious back into your life." "It'll be time when it's time, okay?" "But seeing those pictures today... of wee Jackie," "it was like viewing something beautiful while walking on glass." "'Cause here there was only joy." "But in my guts, deep down, it's a terrible gnawing." "'Cause, Irene, there's not a day that passes" "( sobbing )" "I don't think about Katie." "My sweet, sweet Katie." "Not a minute I don't hurt." "But it wasn't me who married outside the church she was brought up in, just like it wasn't me who hung his best friend out to dry." "Nor is it me who pissed away more talent than God gave any other 10 players put together." "But it was me... who had his daughter stolen from him." " Jackie never stole Kate..." " She was engaged to be married to another man when Jackie McQuillan stepped into her life." " What do you call that?" " They fell in love, Gordon." "You can't change some things." "You just said it." "But you can change the way you look at things and think about them." "So tell me, just how are you looking at the prospect of me looking for a job when the team moves to Dublin?" "You only betray yourself, Gordon, if you can't let go of the things that cause you pain." "I don't care if you ever talk to Martin Smith again." "But it's not the same with Kate." "She loves you with all her heart." "And you know why?" "Because some things never change." "( Crowd cheering )" "( yelling )" "Yes!" "Promoted to the First Division, man." "Congratulations." "Listen to these guys." "Is that good enough to keep us here?" "You're the talk of all Scotland." "Everybody's digging you." "Let's just keep everybody talking till you and me are drinking from the Cup, huh?" " Towels, boys." " ( yelling )" "( laughs )" "That's outrageous, eh?" "Right." "Okay." "Let's see if you can beat your old man with a spot kick." "Don't fancy." "Give it your best." "Come on." "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "You know your trouble?" "You've been watching too much Italian football." " I haven't." " You have." "Now come here." "The whole object is to be cool." "Scoring a goal should be as natural as having your breakfast." "Usually one fist gets the job done." "The attitude should be plenty more where that came from." "Now, let's talk about the goal." "The spectacular goal." "The goal that wins the Cup Final." "What you've got to do is freeze and capture the moment." "Both hands in the air, fists raised." "You don't move, and you remember... all these people in the stadium are here because of you." "How's this?" "Perfect." "Now, here's the set-up." "Cup Final." "Hampden Park." "50,000 fans." "It's a penalty shoot out." "Everybody's scored." "And you have got the last kick." "You know something?" "You're shitting your pants." "You've got to beat me." "Right, come on." "Oh!" "Now remember... 50,000 fans." "Can you hear them?" "Give me your best." "Come on then, give us it." "Yeah!" "Are you all right?" "I just keep thinking about that boy." "It could just as easily have been wee Jackie, you know?" "Wearing his Celtic top in the wrong part of town." "About to get hurt because of that." "Yeah, well, you saved him, babe." "You should be happy about that." "You know the press, they blew everything out of proportion." "Those kids never even saw him." "It's still us versus them." "I mean, look at your father." "He hasn't been to church in 40 years." "40 years." "And he won't talk to his daughter because she married someone who hadn't been to his church in 20." "How do we undo that?" "What about us?" "Start over." "Remember what it was that got you started in the first place?" "Build on that." " Rediscover where..." " Sshhh." "Announcer:" "It's semi-final time." "Kilnockie nearly promoted but still in the Second Division against Kilmarnock from the Premier League." "And no chance of Kilnockie relinquishing home advantage, because we're on neutral ground at Premier Park, where not only are they facing a Premiership side, Rob, they've got to beat them without Jackie McQuillan." "After his recent sending off against Queen of the South, he's sitting in the stands." " Hey, man." " Hi, chairman." "Jackie, Mr. O'Shea and Mr. Clancy." "Jackie McQuillan." "Great player this guy." "Could get used to this gaffer." "Let's make it a habit." "Aye, aye." "And that's the experienced Hugh Dallas as the referee." "Watch this." "Here we go." " Oh, right." " ( whistle sounds )" "And the semi-final gets under way." "The striking on us for Kilnockie falls on Andy Smith and Owen Coyle." "The side, of course, minus McQuillan." "The supply, it's hoped, will come from Alan Lawrence." "And immediately it's Lawrence in possession." "A curling cross into the area but too close to the keeper and plucked out of the air by Meldrum." "Well, I've been very impressed with this start, Rob." "I thought they might defend in the early stages of this game, but they've actually looked to try to score an early goal, Kilnockie." "Very ambitious." "There'll be pressure from Kilmarnock, of course, the favorites." "And it's them on the attack with that shot directly at Brian Burns." "A comfortable save but that will give him some confidence." "He's certainly a key man." "Well, if you don't have your top goal scorer, and you don't have your best player, you might have to rely on your goalkeeper today." "That's a confidence boosting save." "Here come Kilnockie again." "Again it's Lawrence." "He's made a good start." "He cuts in." "This is a real chance for Kilnockie." "A brave save by Meldrum at his feet." "But he overran it, surely." "Yes, he definitely did." "It was a brave save." "But he's a postman, young Lawrence, and he should have delivered a better finish than he did." "That was an absolutely glorious opportunity." "Here comes another opportunity." "It's Owen Coyle." "Cuts in from the right hand side onto his favorite left peg." "The cross aimed at Andy Smith." "Smith's header..." "and it's a goal!" "A crushing header from Smith." "And Kilnockie leads Kilmarnock by a goal to nil." "Well, it can't get much better than this for this side." "Second Division against Premier." "They've really held their own in the opening half hour." "And what a sucker punch." "Beautifully flighted ball, and I have to say a towering, accurate, almost unstoppable header from big Andy Smith." "We got the goal we weren't sure we could get, lads, hey?" "Now we have to make it stand up." "Don't get caught ball watching." "See the ball through your man." "That's the way you shut them down." "You cut off their movement." "And remember, you only get one chance at a Premier team." "This is our shot at glory, lads, all right?" "All right, go and give it to them!" "( Together ) Come on, let's go!" "Announcer:" "Kilmarnock giving it everything in this second half as they try to battle their way back into the Cup tie." "They badly want to be in the final." "But they are one down, Andy." "Yes, but they've been camped in Kilnockie's half for the opening half hour of this second half." "And their goalkeeper, Brian Burns, has been absolutely sensational." "They're looking a little tired as we get to the last quarter of an hour." "I am a touch concerned for them." "Burns has been a hero so far." " Who's got 11?" " He's been brave and decisive" " and he has to continue to be so." " Who's got 11?" " 11!" " Curled in toward the near post." " 11!" " Burns has to come for it, and he makes a good solid confident punch." "Oh, but he's fallen awkwardly." "And he's not getting up." "Burns is in trouble." "This could be a bad injury blow." "Almost symbolically, the rain's come down on Premier Park." "Black clouds overhead for the Kilnockie supporters." "Kelsey, get warmed up." "Come on, quickly." "Hurry up." "Hey, Kelsey, get warmed up!" "Come on, get warmed up." "Hurry up." "Announcer:" "He landed really awkwardly, Rob." "As he got into the net, I think his arm tangled there." "It went underneath him." "All his weight landed on his shoulder." "I think he's got serious problems." "I think we're about to see a substitution made." "Come on, Kelsey, pay attention." " Get your mind on it." " Kelsey O'Brian is the reserve keeper on the bench." "He's 23." "And he's played soccer at Dartmouth College in the U.S., but he's never experienced anything like this." "Well, what a test for the young man." "Goodness knows how he's feeling." "He knows he's coming on." "God, what nerves." "What nerves he must have." "Here's your chance, son." "No more small print." "Just big fucking headlines up for grabs." "So, go and grab 'em." "I was just thinking, Rob, we're about to witness probably the biggest 10 minutes in the history of Kilnockie Football Club." "And what do they have to do?" "Put a rookie American with no experience and no one's ever heard of, into the goal." "The crowd knows he's American." "Listen to them." "Is that, "Yank, Yank, Yank,"" "or is it something even more offensive, I wonder?" "( Crowd chanting "Yank" )" "But he's got lucky, I tell ya," "I thought that was a corner." "I thought Burns punched it straight out." "The referee has given a goal kick in all the confusion." "Gives the goalkeeper a chance to settle." "Good clearance up field." "Get settled." "Dear, oh dear." "Well, that's ominous." "His first touch of the ball, a real sclaff." "He took a chunk of turf." "And let's hope his shot stopping is better than his goal kicking." "Here comes the Kilmarnock pressure." "Dealt with quite comfortably there." " Hetherston thumped it clear." " Fuck, four minutes." " Where's he get that from?" " The signal from the touch-line is that four minutes will be added." "Oh, Christ." "How much time?" "I don't know." "I can't look." "Agony written all over the faces of the Kilnockie supporters." "Can they hold on?" "How much time are you giving them?" "Why don't you stick on a green jersey" " and make it legal, eh?" "!" " Calm down, okay?" "You either behave yourself..." "Who said there's no pressure in this game?" "Hugh Dallas telling him in no uncertain terms," ""Sit down, son."" "You can blow the whistle any old time, says Gordon McCleod." "That one last chance possibly for Kilmarnock." "Kilmarnock pressing." "That's a good effort." "And touched over the top by Kelsey O'Brian." "That's a corner kick." "They're almost there, Rob." "10 seconds to go." "This could be the last chance for Kilmarnock." "And that's a good punch by O'Brian." "It's out of the danger area." "As the full time whistle goes." "It's unbelievable!" "Kilnockie are through to the final of the Scottish Cup and they'll play, believe it or not, Rangers." "Well, I can't believe what I've witnessed this afternoon." "A Second Division side arrived here against a Premier League side." "They arrive here without the top man." "Without their main striker." "Their goalkeeper gets carried off 10 minutes from the end." "They stick in a rookie American no-one's ever hear of." "Hold out." "It's unbelievable." "And victorious scenes there'll be in Kilnockie tonight as the reality of what they've achieved today begins to sink in." "And it will take some sinking in for Kelsey O'Brian." "He's joined the little team with the big heart and he's come up with the goods." "Kelsey." "Here's to your future." "Well done." "Well done." "Gordon:" "So, Kelsey, you feeling all right?" "Kelsey:" "I feel a bit, you know, sick." "You know... before the semi-final, the most people I ever played in front of was maybe 2,200." "Uh-huh." "Uh-huh." " You ever fish?" " Yeah, with my grandpa as a kid." "Well, when you're standing in that river, son, there's only one thing you're concentrating on." "That wee fly floating with the current 30, 40 feet away." "So you mend your line once or twice, but you never take your eye off the wee fly." "It's the same thing with goalkeeping." "You get the angle you want, make sure of your footing, keep your line, then you concentrate on nothing but that wee bouncing ball out there." "Everything else goes." "The fans, the noise, the colors, all the jumping around." "Now, that's what I want you to do against the Rangers, eh?" "Go fishing."

"I promise you the team stays here... ( applause )" "if, and this is what I told him, you beat Rangers." "Oh." "Eh, now we know what we're playing for." "Many of you also know that home means a lot to me." "I was born in a wee mining town southwest of Glasgow." "And miners never forget where they're from." "And fishermen remember, too, which is why I've always felt at home in this town, amongst all of you." "When it's life and death, you learn quickly who you can trust, be it in a mineshaft or on a fishing boat." "I approach football the same way." "I don't care if you're a good player or a bad player." "If you're a good person I'll work with you." "But I'd prefer you were a good player as well as a good person." "( laughter )" "Now... there's a lot of good people on this team and a lot of good people who've been rooting for them for a lot of years." "None of our success could've happened without your support." "Just like none of my success would have been possible without the support of my wife, Irene." " Aye." " Aye, good on ya." "( Applause )" "There's a lot of young players who think they can be involved in semis and finals every year." "But I never played in a Cup Final and I know a lot of very good players who didn't." "So cherish this opportunity." "Now I won't make any daft promises, but we'll go and give our all on Saturday and we'll enjoy it." "But remember... enjoyment to me is winning." "All right?" "All right?" "Eh?" "Eh?" "There's one last official duty to perform tonight." "Not five hours after our Kilmarnock win two of this team's greatest supporters rolled up their sleeves and went to work." "( Applause )" "The result of their efforts should make us all feel proud."

"Andy, you made the squad, son." " That's a boost to Rangers." " As long as we're all here," "I wanna tell you to keep your underpants on tonight." "No sex before the match." "I don't want you excited except on the pitch tomorrow." "( Horns honking )" "David versus Goliath only scratches the sur..." "Shut up."

"If you beat Kilnockie tomorrow, you'll make it a clean sweep." "The Treble." "No one's done it in 30 years." "It'd be a lot better if we could keep Jackie McQuillan out." " You bastard." " Is there anything you'd like to say to Gordon tonight?" "We did invite him on" " but he declined." " Well, you know..." "Gordon's awfully shy." "Hides his light under a bushel." "Come on back, Gordon." "All is forgiven." "This is nothing to do between me and Gordon or Jackie and the Rangers." "It's between the two teams." "Jackie's certainly been a Rangers killer." "Have you any plan for him?" "( knocking )" "Well, I understand some of the supporters are gonna go over to his hotel tonight." "If we can't keep him awake, we'll have..." " Gaffer, hey." " Hey." " You doing all right?" " Aye, good." "You?" " Yeah, okay." " Good." "Er..." "I..." "I don't wanna lose this game before it starts." "Stay in your room." "Don't go out." "Don't drink." "Don't do what you did on too many nights." " All right?" " Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm." "Yup." "That must give you the boke, that." "Seeing that prick sitting there like that." "It's water under the bridge." "Aye, but it could have been you, gaffer." "If that bastard had left his resignation in that room in Dundee instead of leaving with a raise." "Aye, that gave me the boke." " So he'll be a marked man?" " Closely marked man." "But it's not just him." "It's not even keeping the team in Kilnockie, though I want it with all my heart." "( laughs ) Come here." "I was a run-of-the-mill squad player wherever I played." "Even the Teddy Bears weren't any good when I made it to Ibrox." "So I never won anything, let alone a championship."

"Rob:" "Andy, I spoke to Nockie assistant coach, Ian McVeigh, a few minutes ago." "Jackie is fit to play." "Whether he does or not will depend on his manager and his father-in-law, Gordon McCleod." "And we know all about their rocky relationship." "Dad." "Dad." "Dad!" "Rob:" "Realistically, what are their chances?" "A Second Division team taking on The Old Firm, a team that's never been to a final against a team that's been 35 times and won 27." "A team with a total payroll of some quarter of a million pounds going up against a team with seven players alone who make more than that." "A team of Scots with a rookie American in goal taking on a club with players from nine different countries." "On paper Kilnockie haven't a chance." "I've been reading a lot of David and Goliath stories in the papers this week." "If I was a reporter, it'd be my angle too." "It has a nice ring about it, except the ring of truth." "In that match up, one side had a sword, the other a stone." "In this version, we both use the same weapon." "This is what we play with, lads." "And whoever wants it the more... will win." "We can beat this team." "I want you to be street fighters." "Fight for every loose ball, every header." "When they've got the ball, be where they are." "And when we've got it" "I want you to be where they aren't." "Personal performance and high individual standards count here." "So, with that in mind... everybody up." "I want a wee fucking bounce here." "Let's go on the spot." "Make sure we keep with the ball early." "Jump early." "Make them tight." "And we're in." "And we're out." "Boylie, Lumber, keep your eye on the ball." "Make sure we're setting up tackles." "And we're in." "And we're out." "Don't let them play." "They get the ball, we get them tackled." "Don't fucking allow them to dictate the game." "You get in there and seize it." "And we're in." "And we're out." "Whoa, whoa, whatever you do, don't score early and piss 'em off." "Out come the teams, and what does it feel like for these players?" "Andy Gray can certainly answer that question." "Andy, you've played in seven." "Andy:" "It's a brilliant time." "Between now and the end, they're not gonna enjoy it." "None of those players." "But you get the chance." "You come out, stand and line up."

"This is a real grudge match." "And Kilnockie playing for their future in Scotland." "Rob:" "Playing for their very future without their top striker."

"Andy:" "Well, if I was Martin Smith I'd be saying," ""Get shots on goal as early and as many as you can." "Test this American goalkeeper." "See what he's really like."" "For Kilnockie it'll be:" "defend as well as you can;" "hopefully get a little breakaway and a little luck." "Rob:" "What an emotional day this is." "Kilnockie, a big-hearted team, there's not much doubt about that, but they'll need more than just big hearts today." " Owen, go on." " They'll need to show the sort of ability they've shown to get here if they're going to take this one step further." "And it's almost unbelievable." "Here come Rangers." "Derek Ferguson is pulling the strings in the midfield." "Robertson has the chance." "It's touched back, and it's Ferguson's shot." "And it's fumbled by Kelsey O'Brian." "He gathers it at the second attempt." "That's the first real threat to Kilnockie." "Rob:" "He did well in the end but he got lucky." " He's bound to be nervous." " Andy: 25 minutes in." "He's not had a lot of the ball, the goalkeeper, and I still think he'll be a touch nervy." "Rob:" "That scoreboard makes encouraging viewing for Gordon McCleod and the Kilnockie supporters." "Here's yet more pressure from Rangers." "In comes the cross... out comes Kelsey O'Brian, that's a poor punch." "And it's Ferguson!" "And that's one-nil." " Rangers have the lead..." " Jesus!" " Ah, fuck it!" " after O'Brian's mistake." "And this time he's punished by Ferguson." " One-nil." " Andy:" "He'd done well up till then." "But you always wondered, could he keep it going for 90 minutes?" "The answer was, unfortunately for Kilnockie, no." "A really poor punch from the American." "Ferguson pounces." "It was a mountain to climb." "It's even bigger than that now for Kilnockie." "One-fucking-nothing, you think that's funny?" "One-nothing against a bunch of rubbish, you're all smiles?"

"You're good at that." "Jackie didn't get into a fight last night because he was drunk or arrogant or just being Jackie." "He got into a fight because he was defending me and you and anyone else who loves this game and believes that it should heal rifts not cement them." "Oh no, you're gonna hear me." "See, I know that you love to brood on your betrayals." "You tie them all up into little bundles, like... firewood, and then warm your Gaelic blood when you think about them." "It's not Jackie's fault that he was born with talent." "So stop blaming him for your own failings." "It's you and your jealousy and your anger that God had the nerve to give someone else so much more than he gave you." "I don't suppose there's much you can do about being stubborn." "And there's definitely nothing even you can do about getting old." "But for God's sake, Dad, you don't have to be stupid." "I want this game, boys." "I want the Treble." "Do you hear me?" "Right?" "!" "Fucking do it!" "Rob:" "We've just been asking the question during the half time interval and it's answered at the start of the second half." "McQuillan's on for the second half." " Yes!" " Jackie McQuillan is on." "He's scored nine goals in seven Cup Finals, Andy." "Rob:" "And four of them against Rangers." "He had to come on, it's as simple as that, Rob." "One down against the team chasing Treble." "McQuillan on the bench?" "Not for long." "He had to come on." "And I have to say, what a start he's made to the second half." "He looks fit." "He looks fresh." "Rob:" "I think he sent on an angry young man, Gordon McCleod." "He's gonna prove to one or two people that he isn't finished." "I know he's playing." "I can see he's playing." "I've got eyes." "He's the only player they've got." "I'm coming down." "The personal feud between McQuillan and McCleod is no secret." "But could this be a managerial masterstroke?" "Andy:" "He's flying." "Rob:" "Rangers in control and dominating the game." "Second half." "It's been all Kilnockie." "Rob:" "So much so, at times you'd think they're the Premiere side." "It's been an immense performance." "If it isn't St. Martin come down to mingle with the less fortunate." "You've been missing a good game." "The little guys are down." "But they're about to rise up and bite the big boys in the ass." "Gazzer, pick up McQuillan." "I don't wanna see his name, understand?" "Put him in your pocket." "He's down on the touchline, is Martin Smith." "He could stay up in the director's box no longer." "Gazzer, wake up!" "It's no big secret he's in the game." "What a good save that was from Ally Maxwell." " ( Grunts )" " That's a bad tackle on McQuillan." "They see him as the big threat to their Cup Final chances." "Crowd:" "Off, off, off!" "( Screaming )" "A yellow card." "That's bullshit." "He should have been booted!" "Performance artist." "Still taking the low road, eh, Martin?" "It's a goddamn mugging and you know it." "Turning your back again." "You're good at that, eh?" "Always was your best side." "That's enough." "Sit down." "Down." "Okay?" "Andy:" "The message came on from the touchline," ""Sort out McQuillan." There's absolutely no doubt." " And sort them out they have." " ( whistle )" "Andy:" "I know I might be upsetting a few people, but I'd love to see them get an equalizer." "They're running out of time, but my goodness, wouldn't that be a story?" " Ah, come on." " Former Rangers player, Rangers supporter... you're backing Kilnockie?" "Never." "( Cheering )" "Hey, Kelsey!" "Supporter:" "What?" "Did they score?" "What?" "Fucking what?" "Tell me." "Gonna shut up?" "Rob:" "The agitation is on the Rangers bench." "How much time are we playing here?" "John Rowbotham's had a look at his watch." "And it's almost all over." "Rangers within seconds, surely, of holding aloft the Scottish Cup." "Jimmy Boyle might have other ideas." "His cross!" "Up goes McQuillan!" "What a header!" "And what a goal!" " Oh, yes!" " Andy:" "I don't believe that." " Oh my God." " Rob:" "That is incredible." "How do you script things like this?" "It would have to be him." "It would have to be the last minute." "The color has drained from the face of Martin Smith." "Jackie McQuillan has come back to Scottish football to haunt him." "Kelsey O'Brian has run the full length of the field to join in the celebrations, which will be echoing around the northeast coastline, no doubt about that." "All those who couldn't travel to Hampden today... will be enjoying this moment." " Oh, no." " No." "Five million fucking quid for a blind man with two left fucking feet who doesn't even speak English." "I wanna go first." "I wanna go first." " Jackie, the nail in the coffin." " Aye, gov." " Alan, you start us off." " Done." "Blackie, I want you in on this." "No problem." "Silky, you go third." "Any other Bravehearts?" "Rob:" "This is a cruel way to settle a football match, especially a Cup Final." "It's all about winners and losers, the joy, the heartbreak." "And it's Eddie May up first for Rangers, Andy." "Andy:" "What a day it's been, Rob." "One-one after 90 minutes." "Extra time couldn't give us a winner, so now we're down to penalties." "The one thing I'll tell you, in the next few minutes, we'll have a hero and a villain." "It's May versus O'Brian." "And Eddie May scores." "Strike one to Rangers." "That gets them off to the best possible start." "Andy:" "Yeah, they obviously won the toss, Rob, because they went in first." "That's important." "Now Kilnockie are playing catch-up." "Rob:" "Next up is Captain Courageous for Kilnockie..." "Alan Barnes, the skipper." "He wanted to take the first one." "He wanted to take the responsibility." "Barnes versus Maxwell." "And he sends him the wrong way." "Kilnockie are one-one in the penalty shoot out." "They'll feel a bit better now, with that one going in." "The pressure unloaded for Barnes." "And the pressure now on, for young Robertson." "He blasted it, Robertson." "And scored." "Two-one in the shoot out." "That's your type of penalty, isn't it?" "Low on finesse, high on velocity." "Andy:" "My type of penalty finds the net." "( laughs )" "This man knows all about penalties..." "Kenny Black." "You don't get much better than that." "Left foot ferocious." "Top corner." "Andy:" "A little bit of emotion as well." "( laughing ) But all wrapped up." "A little apology." "Now it's..." "John Stone!" "And that's three-two to Rangers." "O'Brian went left, the ball went the other way." "And Rangers again have the edge." "Andy:" "Five pretty good penalties I have to say." "That's cool." "A little wink to Ally Maxwell." " He fancies this, doesn't he?" " They call him Silky." "He just passed that into the net, picked his spot." "Again, Maxwell chose wrong." "And it's three each." "Andy:" "At the moment neither goalkeeper's getting anywhere near a penalty." "Now Harris for Rangers." "It's gone through." "O'Brian gave it his best shot but he couldn't keep it out." "Rangers piling on the pressure." "Sandy Stewart." " ( Grunts )" " A save by Maxwell!" "The first save of the shoot out denies the former Airdrie player." "He can't believe it." "What's going on?" "Is it bad?" "We're dead, unless Kelsey makes this save." "Gordon:" "When you're standing in that river, son, there's only one thing you're concentrating on, the wee fly floating with the current." "It's the same thing between the sticks, Kelsey." "You get the angle you want, you concentrate on nothing but that wee ball out there." "Everything else goes, the fans, the noise, the colors." "That's what I want you to do." "Go fishing." " ( Groans )" " What a fine save!" "The fairy tale continues!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yeah!" "The emotional roller-coaster rolls on." "And cometh the hour." "Cometh the man." "Who would Kilnockie want at this stage... to step up, to strike the penalty which can keep them in the Cup Final?" "You would have to answer it with two words:" "Jackie McQuillan." "Andy:" "In normal circumstances, Rob, I would agree, but let me tell you something, these are not normal circumstances." "This is pressure the likes of even Jackie McQuillan" " hasn't faced before." " ( crowd taunting )" "McQuillan, you fucking drunk, you couldn't kick your own ass!" "Can he keep Kilnockie in the match?" "Rob:" "Oh, what a save by Ally Maxwell!" "Rangers have won the Cup!" "It's heartbreak for McQuillan." "It's heartbreak for Kilnockie." "The fairy tale is over." "If you're gonna be a McCleod, son, you're gonna have to learn to stand on your own two feet." "Sorry, gaffer." "That's football, son." "McCleod and McQuillan walk off side-by-side... leaving the Hampden stage." "And could this be the curtain-call for Kilnockie?" "The road to glory has ended here." "And if they move to Ireland, they've left their supporters with a performance to remember." "Kilnockie may have lost today, but they did not fail." "How does it feel to have come so close?" "What can I say, lads?" "What can I say?" "Just, you know... cheers." "Cheers, all right?" "Better luck in Dublin." "I don't think so, fellas." "Look at these people." "You can't buy this kind of loyalty." "I think we're gonna stay right here." "Next year we're gonna win this thing." "I can't do anything about getting old... my... my wee lamb." " It's all right." " I missed you." "It's a good feeling." "A good feeling." "A feeling of relief." "Brian, hold this." "Gordon." "Winning by penalty kicks isn't winning." "Maybe not... but, I'd rather see my name on the Cup than yours." "Cheers." "Here." "You hold it, yeah?" "Left hand." "Pound says wee Jackie gets the first fish." "If he catches one before me, he's walking home." "( Reel spinning )" "Kate:" "Fish in!" " Eh?" " Fish in!" "Go on, Katie!" "Whew!" "At least we're not walking home, eh?"
