With blue-and-white confetti raining down upon him, and with his winner’s medal draped round his neck, Phil Foden was thrust in front of the TV cameras to give his thoughts on Manchester City’s latest Premier League title win last Sunday.

Scorer of two goals as City beat West Ham 3-1, and recently crowned Player of the Year in England, Foden was the man of the moment.

‘I will never get bored of it,’ said Foden, in reference to City winning an unprecedented fourth straight Premier League title, and their sixth in seven years.

Maybe so, Phil. Maybe so. But there *will* come a time when other people become bored of watching the Pep Guardiola juggernaut steamrolling their way to trophy after trophy.

Which is why tomorrow afternoon’s TV clash between the Scottish Cup final and FA Cup finals is an absolute no-brainer in terms of where the drama and entertainment is likely to be.

The Old Firm derby is the only cup final worth watching on Saturday according to Calum Crowe

Celtic and Rangers will go head-to-head at Hampden in the first Old Firm final since 2002. City will lock horns with rivals Manchester United at Wembley, in a repeat of the final of 12 months ago.

For the first time since 2011, both finals will kick-off at 3pm and fans of all four clubs will, of course, be firmly entrenched in their views of which game to watch.

However, for the neutrals - and for Scottish football fans in general - there can only be one winner in terms of which game is likely to be more exciting and, ultimately, more watchable.

Mail Sport columnist Simon Jordan had some typically forthright views yesterday, claiming that Scottish football was a boring old snoozefest in comparison to its English counterpart.

Jordan was also scathing in his criticism of the overall quality of the Scottish game, claiming that Celtic and Rangers would ‘struggle to survive in the English Championship’.

The latter of those claims shouldn’t even be dignified with a response, such is the level of arrogance and disrespect aimed at Scottish football’s two biggest clubs.

But, in the context of the two cup finals, Jordan’s assertion that Scottish football is somehow boring compared to the game down south is frankly ridiculous.

Listen, in terms of the overall quality of football, nobody in their right mind would claim Scottish football is even in the same stratosphere as this City machine built by Guardiola.

At the last check, there weren’t many Phil Fodens or Erling Haalands in the SPFL. In terms of quality, it’s not even a contest.

But that’s not the point. The point is that Jordan, following one of his many radio spats with Rod Stewart, branded Scottish football as boring and uninteresting.

Scottish football has many flaws, but a lack of excitement is not among them. There is rarely a dull moment. Compared to much of the sanitised guff down south, it can be absolutely box-office.

It offers a more wholesome alternative to the vast riches of the English game. Wembley represents the prawn-sandwich brigade and all manner of corporate nonsense, whereas Hampden is Bovril, pies and passion.

It is now common in these major finals at Wembley to see fans in the front rows of the stands spend the entire 90 minutes watching the game through the screen of a smartphone.

Many of them will be decked out in half-and-half scarves, no doubt having paid hundreds of pounds for a ticket to attend what will, in all likelihood, be their first-ever game of football.

Can you imagine the absolute lunacy of someone standing outside Hampden trying to sell half-and-half scarves tomorrow afternoon?

That is where Scottish football is head and shoulders above the English game. There is a raw passion and authenticity that just doesn’t exist down south any more.

English football sold its soul a long time ago. The purists and traditionalists would never admit it, but the FA Cup ceased to be relevant about 20 years ago.

For all its flaws in terms of quality, Scottish football offers far more passion and excitement when it comes to these big one-off games.

Put it this way, did anyone seriously have any doubt that Manchester City would beat West Ham last weekend to win the league title?

It was entirely predictable. Just as it feels entirely predictable that they will beat one of the worst Manchester United teams in living memory this afternoon.

There is a sense of inevitability with City. Not only in terms of their ability to win trophies, but also in terms of their style of play.

How many times have we seen Foden or Kevin de Bruyne slide a ball across the face of goal for Haaland to tap into the net over these past couple of years?

It almost feels like you’re watching the same goal on repeat when you watch City. It’s brilliant in terms of the execution, but not terribly exciting once you’ve seen it a few times.

Man United have endured a woeful season under Erik ten Hag. Some of their performances have been absolutely pathetic, the most recent of which was a 4-0 mauling at Crystal Palace a fortnight ago.

If they perform like that again, City will absolutely wipe the floor with them. That would certainly offer some comedy value if nothing else.

But, in terms of drama and entertainment, the Scottish Cup final is the one to watch as the Old Firm collide in the season finale.

The Manchester derby may well be where the greater quality of football is to be found. But live sport thrives on drama, passion and jeopardy.

That’s why events at Wembley will be a poor relation compared to what happens amid the blood and thunder of Hampden.

The bookmakers would tend to agree. Look at the favourites in both games; City are far shorter odds to beat United than Celtic are to beat Rangers.

One game is likely to be a mismatch, a walk in the park, while the other has far more drama attached to it.

Boring? Not a chance. Sorry, Simon, but there’s only one game worth watching in this particular debate.
