Celtic's Scottish Cup loss to Aberdeen serves as ‘a reminder to younger fans' says former Hoops star
'There have always been the detractors' HOOPY TIMES Celtic's Scottish Cup loss to Aberdeen serves as 'a reminder to younger fans' says former Hoops star CELTIC's shock loss in the Scottish Cup final to Aberdeen will serve as a reality check for the younger generation of Hoops fans who have "never had it so good". That's the view of a former Celtic title-winner in the wake of Aberdeen's penalty shootout victory at Hampden on Sunday. 4 Aberdeen celebrate their Scottish Cup win over Celtic Credit: Alamy 4 The Celtic squad looking dejected as Aberdeen go wild Credit: PA 4 Former Celtic star Mark Wilson has called the defeat a 'reminder' to some fans Credit: CLYDE 1 The result ended the Dons' 35-year wait for a Scottish Cup victory. Hoops skipper Callum McGregor broke down in tears at the end of the match and no doubt there were some Celtic supporters feeling similarly emotional. But for ex-Hoops star Mark Wilson, the disappointment will serve as a reminder that nothing is guaranteed in football. In particular, the former Celtic defender highlighted that the younger generation of fan has bore witness to dominance by the green half of Glasgow the likes of which has never been seen before. Speaking on Clyde 1's Superscoreboard about how losing the Scottish Cup final impacts the overall assessment of Celtic's season, Wilson said: 'It defines your season, doesn't it? 'That's why we are in the game for, to win it, at the end of the day. 'I would say, though, that if Celtic had still won on penalties, and the Treble. I still think you would have got the fans saying, 'is this squad as strong as it should be?'" Wilson, who was a member of four league title-winning squads with the Hoops and also lifted the Scottish Cup and League Cup during his career, expanded on his points by saying there is a section of the Celtic support who may have taken silverware for granted. He said: 'There have always been the detractors. Even when they won the League Cup against Rangers on penalties. 'Some of them just think they should turn up and win. But they can't, and Saturday was a great exercise in showing that. Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has STRONGER transfer case after final defeat 'It's maybe a reminder for these younger Celtic fans, who think turning up at Hampden was just a procession to go back to Celtic Park, and see the trophy being paraded. It's never been so good for them. 'But it was a timely reminder that you need to be right on the day and hope a lot of things go your way to win silverware.' 4 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Death sentences upheld in the murder of boys
The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday rejected an appeal by a man who received two death sentences in the 2020 murders of two boys in a Putnam County home. Justices upheld two first-degree murder convictions and two death sentences for Mark H. Wilson, who killed Tayten Baker, 14, and Robert Baker, 12, who were the nephews of Wilson's girlfriend. Wilson and his girlfriend, Cindy Guinan, and their 14-month-old child had moved into a shed on the Baker family's property five days before the murders, according to the Supreme Court opinion. The boys' mother, Sarah Baker, woke on Aug. 26, 2020, to find them murdered. Their heads had been beaten with a hammer and their throats had been cut, according to the Supreme Court opinion. Wilson was arrested after his mother told police that she thought he was responsible for the murders. Wilson told authorities that he thought the boys were hurting and abusing his girlfriend and the 14-month-old child, though officers found no evidence to support those allegations, the Supreme Court opinion said. Wilson also said he had been using methamphetamine on the day of the murders. In the appeal, Wilson's attorneys raised a series of issues, including alleging that the trial judge erred by rejecting proposed 'mitigating evidence' about the methamphetamine use. But the Supreme Court rejected the arguments in a 49-page opinion. 'Here, there was no objective evidence establishing by the greater weight of the evidence that Wilson was impaired at the time of the murders,' said the opinion, fully shared by Chief Justice Carlos Muniz and Justices Charles Canady, John Couriel, Jamie Grosshans, Renatha Francis and Meredith Sasso. 'No one who observed him close in time to the murders saw any indication that he was under the influence of any substance.' Justice Jorge Labarga concurred with the result of the opinion but did not fully sign on. Wilson, now 34, is an inmate at Union Correctional Institution, according to the Florida Department of Corrections website. Click here to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps.
