Motherwell first won the Scottish Cup in 1952 in front of 136,000 at Hampden Park. On that occasion we beat Dundee 4-0 and those of a superstitious nature will have noted that our win on Sunday in the 4th round had the same score!
We had to wait until 1991 for the next chance to parade the Cup at Fir Park some twenty years ago. Are we due for another?
