Fenlon backs Hibs to put it up to Celtic

Pat Fenlon’s Hibernian are a stratosphere away from Celtic’s financial muscle but the Irishman is predicting a close battle when the pair meet in the Scottish Cup final.

Fenlon faces the ultimate test of his burgeoning managerial career on May 26 at Hampden Park when his charges face the runaway SPL leaders.

Assessing their respective budgetary positions presents only one outcome from the decider but Fenlon cites his side’s record in three meetings this term as reason for optimism of an upset.
