Scottish Cup: Fenlon and Lennon Hampden glory bid
That is the hope, perhaps even the expectation, of Pat Fenlon: that his Hibernian team will play to the best of their abilities in tomorrow’s Scottish Cup final against Celtic. They can do no more – and they cannot allow themselves to do any less.
Fenlon and those few members of his squad who remain from last year’s final have already won a victory of sorts simply by making it back to Hampden. After their 5-1 mauling at the hands of Hearts, there were some observers who expected them, like some badly-beaten boxer, to need time to nurse their wounds. Instead, they have shown the resilience that was Fenlon’s most notable characteristic as a player, and that is coming to be recognised as one of his principal virtues as a manager.
