The 2000 Scottish Cup Final was played on 27 May 2000 at Hampden Park in Glasgow and was the final of the 115th Scottish Cup. The final was contested by Aberdeen and Rangers. Rangers won the match 4–0. The match was the last in the long career of Aberdeen goalkeeper Jim Leighton. His big day was however a sad one, as he was injured after just 3 minutes and was unable to play on. With no goalkeeper on the substitute bench, Robbie Winters had to go in goal for Aberdeen. Was the last match covered by the Sporting Post Saturday night football edition of the Dundee Evening Telegraph. The paper did not reappear the following week or the following season.

Taking the final level for the dive
Under the river—”
