| 3. Author: Parsdaft21346327964 Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 17:41 They are the home team because they were drawn first at the semi final Reply |
| 4. Author: Tenruh Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 17:54 Why can`t we play in our 1st kit ? Reply |
| 5. Author: livipar2 Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 17:55 Forgive me as being sceptical given they get the same end of the ground and dressing room every time at Hampden. Mon the Pars!!!!!!!!!!! Reply |
| 6. Author: dafc Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 18:17 Are you sure Celtic at home team? I’m sure it was referenced pars are the home team as mentioned in media that we have been drawn at home in every round Reply |
| 7. Author: maradona86 Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 18:21 From The Courier: Dunfermline are preparing for their first Scottish Cup final in 19 years on Saturday – and will have to avoid a kit clash. As part of their ‘Be PARt Of It’ campaign, they have issued a rallying call for local businesses to ‘paint the city black and white’ ahead of the clash with Celtic. However, the Fifers will NOT be playing in their usual monochrome colours at Hampden. Instead, they will be wearing their change kit of all red with black and white trim. Dunfermline have been designated as the ‘away’ team for the showpiece occasion thanks to the way the draw for the semi-finals was made. That means Celtic get the honour of donning their traditional green and white hoops. With the Pars’ predominantly white top with black vertical stripes being deemed too similar, it is Neil Lennon’s side who will have to change. When the clubs last met in the final in 2007, the Fifers – who were again the ‘away’ team – wore their new, all black European kit they would use the following season. Three years earlier, Dunfermline were kitted out early in their new 2004/05 home strip, with Celtic being forced into their change gear. When the two teams faced each other in the cup finals of 1961 and 1965, both were deemed able to wear their home colours. Reply |
| 8. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 18:43 For a cup final, if the authorities deceide there`s a clash, I would say both teams should change. It`s daft to classify one team as the home team on a neutral ground. Reply |
| 9. Author: Parsdaft21346327964 Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 18:45 It’s more who gets home dressing room But also if the st mirren Celtic game wasn’t a clash I don’t see how we could be but I’ve said from the start I don’t want to be in our home kit as it might confuse a player when they only have split second on the ball Reply |

| 12. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 20:22 Personally I’d prefer we wore our Skids strips for the final. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte ![]() Reply |
| 13. Author: Lucho_8 Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 20:24 Happy with that. Pars tops mostly white and theirs is peely-wally minging. All red will look good lifting the cup! Reply |
| 14. Author: 1885_ChillPar Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 20:30 AdamAntsParsStripe, Tue 19 May 20:22 Agreed. If we can`t wear our home top I think the Skids one would be more fitting for the occasion. Reply |
| 15. Author: pars no1 Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 20:38 St mirren wore black and white stripes in the semi so there can’t be a clash with ours Reply |
| 16. Author: DBP Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 20:57 Wonder if that’s because their black stripes are much more dominant than ours? Reply |
| 17. Author: par_33 Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 21:03 Skids kit would be my preference over the red one. Reply |

| 19. Author: BIG W Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 21:11 Seem to remember so team in 1966 changing to the red shirts for a final and it didn’t do them any harm Just wish I could remember who they were it hasn’t been mentioned much Since Reply |
| 20. Author: parsmad68 Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 21:16 Talking of strips. Anyone see SV Elvesberg’s strip, who were just promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time. Their strip looks similar to ours. It is an omen, I tell ye! 😬 Reply |
