Road To The Final
The previous year's winners were Celtic, who had beaten Dunfermline Athletic 3–0 in the 2006 Final, but they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Falkirk, who beat them 5–4 on penalties. With Dunfermline also being eliminated in the early rounds, it was the fourth successive year in which both of the previous year's finalists did not make it back to the final.
Rangers' shock 2–0 defeat by First Division club St. Johnstone meant that neither Old Firm club featured in the semi-finals. Kilmarnock beat Falkirk 3–0 at Fir Park and Hibernian beat St. Johnstone 3–1 after extra time at Tynecastle in the semi-finals.

Famous quotes containing the words road and/or final:
“At sundown, leaving the river road awhile for shortness, we went by way of Enfield, where we stopped for the night. This, like most of the localities bearing names on this road, was a place to name which, in the midst of the unnamed and unincorporated wilderness, was to make a distinction without a difference, it seemed to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The train rounds, bending to a scream,
Taking the final level for the dive
Under the river—”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
