CRAIG LEVEIN and winning don’t go hand in hand but he’s tipping the side he managed to relegate last season to cause an upset in the Scottish Cup final this weekend.
Seven months after the original final should’ve taken place, Celtic and Hearts will do battle for the final piece of last year’s silverware.
Hearts have been flying in the championship while Celtic have went through a very sticky patch.
LEVEIN believes that will be the catalyst for an upset on the day.
“I think if Hearts can get in front in the match or if the match goes any length of time without a goal and it becomes a bit nervous, then I think the way the Hearts players are feeling just now is probably a fair bit better than the way the Celtic players are feeling just now.” The former Hearts manager told SunSport.

“If it’s a tight game and goes the distance then I think nerves may play a part with some of the Celtic players.
“Hearts are firing on cylinders and really have the bit between their teeth at the moment.
“Other than the Dunfermline match a couple of weeks back they have been sweeping away all before them.
“I think they’ve got a better chance than people think.”
Celtic landed the treble treble against Hearts even though the Tynecastle club did take the lead in the second half. A brace from Odsonne Edouard sank the Edinburgh side and its set us up for Sunday where a fourth consecutive treble is up for grabs.
Celtic do feel more vulnerable than usual but this is a side who dig deep in big games. They need to respect Hearts but remember how good they can be.
Eddy finding his shooting boots would go a long way in securing the silverware.
This fud really mixes his metaphors. How can you fire on all cylinders with the bit between your teeth?
You’d think someone who got his last club relegated, was perhaps the worst Scotland manager in history, and whose sickie contributed to the loss of the league championship for the Hertz, would learn to keep his mouth shut.
But then again the BBC values his opinions along with all the other deadbeats losers and tax cheats, so he obviously thinks his views have some merit.
Only in Scoddland.
Craig’s one claim to fame (?) was his infamous line up for Scotland with no recognized forwards, this sheds light on the validity of his thoughts on the final.
