Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakapae a Jackie McNamara ki nga kaiwhakahaere o Hampden mo te kore o tana taha ki te wikitoria o te Ipu Rōpū ki a Celtic. E rua nga whakataunga nui a te kaiwhawhai Bobby Madden ki a Dundee United, i te mea tuatahi, i whakakahoretia e ia a Ryan Dow i te whiu mo te haurua tuatahi whai muri i te whiu i muri mai i a Scott Brown, rangatira o Parkhead. Na ka peia e te whistler te rangatira o Tannadice a Sean Dillon mo te tukinga kino ki a Emilio Izaguirre i te meneti 56, na reira ka mutu nga tumanakohanga mo te hokinga mai o United. I riri te kaiwhakahaere o Dundee United a Jackie McNamara i te kore o tana kapa i whiua i te Rātapu. "Kei te pouri ahau, kei te pouri hoki", te kī a McNamara. Engari e whakapehapeha ana ahau ki te āhua o te urupare a ngā kaitākaro. I whakaaro ahau he maha nga mea i pa ki a maatau i tenei ra. I piri tonu mātou ki te mahi, ā, i haere tonu ki te mutunga, ahakoa ngā whakamā me ngā whakahekenga i roto i te kēmu. Kāore ngā whakataunga i pai ki a mātou, ā, kāore ētahi atu mea i pai ki a mātou. Kāore e taea e au te whakapae i ngā tamariki mō tō rātou kaha me tō rātou pono. Ki taku whakaaro me whai whiu tātou. He rite ki te whiu, e hiahia ana ahau ki te kite i te reira ano. He pōturi rawa te whakatau a te kaitautoko, kāore rānei i whakatau. Engari i roto i te take o Celtic, i tere ia ki te tohu i te wāhi. E hiahia ana ahau kia kite anō i te wero i whara ai te waewae o Sean Dillon. I mutu i te whiwhinga a Celtic i roto i a ia. He pakaru kino a Hone i tōna waewae. E hiahia ana ahau ki te kite anō i te tūtukitanga, kia kite mēnā he tika. Ko te rangatira o Dundee United a Sean Dillon i tukuna e te kaitautoko a Bobby Madden mo tana tukinga ki a Emilio Izaguirre. <unk>Mo te kāri whero, kua hoatu e Sean te kaiwhakawā he whakatau tūturu hei whakatau. Nā tōna kaha me tōna tere, kāore au i te whakaaro kua haere ia ki roto ki te tūkino. Engari kua hoatu e ia he whakatau ki te kaitautoko, a, e mohio ana tatou ki te mea i tupu. Ko te kaitakawaenga o United a John Rankin, i whakapae i a Celtic mo te akiaki i a Madden i mua i te huihuinga o te Ratapu. Whai muri i te whutupaoro Scottish Cup i Tannadice, i whakapae te kaiwhakahaere o Celtic a Ronny Deila i te taiohi o United a Aidan Connolly mo te ruku "tino" ki te wikitoria i te waahi-kick. Kātahi ka whakahokia e...
Ko te kapa Celtic a Ronny Deila i toa i tā rātau kapa kapa Scottish League Cup tekau mā rima. I eke a Kris Commons rāua ko James Forrest i te wikitōria i te wā e wikitōria ana a Celtic i te 2-0. I tukuna e te rangatira o Dundee United a Sean Dillon he wero mo te mutunga ki te kaitautoko o Celtic a Emilio Izaguirre.
