Coming Up appreciates the tangerine half of Dundee will be feeling slightly off-colour so we’ll keep this sideways glance at tomorrow’s news brief.
Naturally, the focus of our collective efforts has been on events at Hampden where plucky underdogs etc and so on
And if they hadn’t sold their two best players blah blah blah

We will, of course, have full coverage of the League Cup Final in Monday’s Courier.
We also cover disturbing events in Inchture and Fife, where criminal investigations into a pair of shocking incidents are ongoing.
We explain why this video footage could sink a contentious windfarm plan.
And we are all over Stevie McCrorie’s bid for warbling glory on The Voice.
