Celtic fans were in fine voice as they headed to Hampden on Saturday.
Setting off from Glasgow Green, Tims in the Park crossed the Clyde through the Gorbals on route to the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden.
There has been lots of history and landmarks over the last decade but Saturday was certainly unique.
Over the course of eight days Celtic have won the two major domestic trophies.
As some have pointed out that equals the combined trophy haul of Hearts and Sevco over the last four years!
Football is about rivalry, for winners there are losers.
And in Scotland we revel in the identity of the losers.
This season it was, as usual it came from the loudest club with a support from their east coast cousins with a heart-warming fairytale.
CELTIC- SCOTLAND’S TROPHY WINNING MACHINE
Apparently the whole world was watching and cheering on Hearts to become the People’s Champions.
Alas league titles are decided over 38 matches and not 250 days.
Tony Bloom’s punt in Edinburgh fell short of Celtic with the hoops crowned as champions for the 56th time.

Mr Sheen’s workload was celebrated as the fans passed through Polmadie with Hampden coming into sight.
There was one more trophy to aim for, another accolade to chase for Scotland’s most successful side.
Daizen Maeda, Arne Engels and Kelechi Iheacho scored to deliver the Scottish Cup, trophy 122 for Celtic.
There are sound reasons to believe that none of the goalscorers will be back at Hampden as Celtic players.
There is only one guarantee in football and that is that the Celtic support will forever be out in numbers to back their club.
Five trebles and four doubles over the last decade has only increased the appetite for winning trophies.
The next campaign starts on the weekend of August 1/2, known as flag day to Celtic fans.
