The best draw we could have hoped for. Should be a good game.

It actually is. Celtic obviously are a cut above anyone else and you wouldn't realistically give us a chance against them, Hibs would be one of those games that could have went either way and probably would have been played at Tynecastle, denying us a day out at Hampden. Rangers will be tough but they are beatable if we get in their faces like we did Aberdeen tonight. We should have had at least a draw off them last month and we just need to believe we can take them. What gives me more hope than normal is that Robinson will instill the attitude that we CAN beat them and we won't go into this game playing against the name 'Rangers' we will go up against them knowing they are nothing special and that we can exploit and beat them on the day.

Isn't it due to reopen by October though?


Scotland play Samoa at Murrayfield at the start of November, and they seem to be expecting no Hearts games there at least two weeks beforehand, so mid-October seems a vague time line for it opening.

Not convinced they'd host a Cup Semi for the first game though.

We laid some Cup demons to rest against Aberdeen last night after their three victories at Fir Park under McCall in 2012, 2013 and 2014, now it's time to do it again against this mob at Hampden and by God there are plenty.  The 2003 & 2011 Semis, the 2005 LC Final, the Derek Johnstone dive game...we need to believe we can do it. I'd argue that Aberdeen are actually a better side man for man than Rangers are so we have absolutely nothing to fear here.

From that perspective you're right. Aberdeen a better team, so no reason why we can't beat Rangers.
Its just how we handle 30,000+ Rangers fans at Hampden... And Bobby Madden [emoji32]
Robinson was obviously involved in the play-off, so hopefully we go into the Semi with the same mentality. Certainly seem to be tougher mentally this season.
