The curse dated back to 1902, when Hibernian lost the Scottish Cup final to Rangers. After the match, a group of Rangers fans allegedly placed a curse on Hibernian, saying that the club would never win the cup again.

Over the years, Hibernian came close to breaking the curse on several occasions. They reached the final in 1947, 1958, and 1979, but they lost each time.

In 2016, Hibernian finally broke the curse. They defeated Rangers 3-2 in the final, ending 114 years of hurt.

The victory was a joyous occasion for Hibernian fans. They had waited so long for this moment, and they finally got to experience the joy of winning the Scottish Cup.

The victory was also a triumph for the club's manager, Alan Stubbs. Stubbs had been in charge of Hibernian for just over a year, and he had already led them to their first major trophy in over a century.

The victory was a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone at Hibernian Football Club. The players, the manager, and the fans all played a part in breaking the curse.

The victory was a reminder that anything is possible in football. Even the longest of curses can be broken.
