On the Sofa - Dougray Scott

In the world of movies, suave, sexy and Scottish, are normally three adjectives usually reserved for Sean Connery.

But now, Dougray Scott - star of Twin Town, This Year's Love and Mission Impossible 2 - really is stealing the thunder from the ex-Bond.

Strangely, it was as a Welshman that he first stood out, appearing in Twin Town as a cop "so bent you could hang a Hawaiian shirt on him".

But, not only is the Fife born thespian passionate about the silver screen, he also knows a thing or too about the beautiful game, and in particular Hibernian.

It has been a fantastic season at Easter Road - finishing third in the Scotish Premier League and of course, relishing the prospect of going head-to-head with Celtic in the Scottish Cup Final.

"I think we are getting back to the glory days of the 70's", he says triumphantly.

And despite the recent 5-2 thrashing by Celtic, in a cup final dress rehersal, Dougray remains confident of stealing the silverwear from under the nose of Martin O'Neill.

"I think we may surprise a few people against Celtic. We've been playing really well recently, and in a one off game like the Cup Final, we can do it."
