So, Gretna will meet Hearts in the Scottish Cup Final. And, the way Hibs' challenge for the league is fading, could yet make their European debut before Inverness CT.
Newcastle's 3:1 win over Spurs was the surprise in England this week-end, closely followed by Portsmouth's win at Fulham, also 3:1. Birmingham staved off relegation, holding Chelsea to a 0:0 draw. Upsets abounded in Division II, but not for Reading, 5:0 winners against Derby and now confirmed as division champions. The upsets were... Hull - Leeds 1:0 (39) ... Millwall - Brighton 0:2 (35) ... Plymouth - Wolves 2:0 (33) ... QPR - Crewe 1:2 (33) ... Southampton - Cardiff 3:2 (32) ... Luton - Ipswich 1:0 (31). Brighton's win means the relegation battle is much closer.
Some results from Europe - Hertha Berlin - Stuttgart 2:0 (32) ... Zaragoza - Villarreal 0:1 (31) ... Osasuna - Getafe 0:4 (34) ... Betis - Seville 2:1 (34) ... PSG - Bordeaux 3:1 (31)
