Dons will milk a final win for all it is worth

THERE'S a glass of milk sitting on a table. The optimist will say it’s half full. The pessimist will claim it's half empty.

And the Aberdeen fan will rage that some Weegie has scudded half his milk.

They are not always the sunniest of lots in the north east but they shouldn't half be happy to get their equal share of Hampden.

Fair play to the Dandies. Plenty of - west coast - folk scoffed when they demanded a 50/50 split with Celtic for the Scottish Cup Final with Dave Cormack promising to stump up if they fell short.

But it was an easy claim. Cormack knows his club and its supporters and wouldn't have been surprised to see the job lot gone in less than eight hours. There's nothing pessimistic about that.

Aberdeen fans could have been forgiven for having some reluctance over this one.

Everyone and their granny has practically handed Celtic the Treble already.

Most reckon they just need to turn up to get their hands on another trophy.
