Scottish Cup Final: Ross County v Dundee United

A sign on the outskirts of Dingwall reads "Would the last person out please switch off the lights"

Excitement has been mounting all week and has almost reached fever pitch, or what passes for fever pitch in the beautiful, tranquil Highlands.

What there is however throughout the community is an immense, quiet pride in a team which has done remarkable well this season

Every shop on the High Street is bedecked with flags, shirts, banners etc and there is a large banner across the street proclaiming "Ross County Winners All the Way"

20,000 supports are, or will be on their way to the National Stadium for what promises to be a fantastic day out.

My hope is that the players can enjoy the match, that they play to their full potential and that they get an equal share of the big refereeing decisions and any luck that's going.

GOOD LUCK GUYS

If nothing else, I believe tomorrow will be a brilliant day.

It will demonstrate to the West of Scotland what the Scottish Cup Final SHOULD be all about.

Two sets of passionate supporters enjoying their day out, free from sectarian bigotry and hatred.

I sure everyone who will be there will have a fabulous time and I hope the best team win (as long as its County of course)

Point taken Scott - it was a sweeping generalisation.

The placard reads "The last time this many Highlanders came South we di not stop till we got to Derby. This time it's EUROPE:D
