IggyStooge Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hearts v Celtic Aberdeen v Rangers Both will be played on a Sunday. 28th October. If Rangers or Celtic have to travel to Murrayfield there will be tears and snotters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole 2 weeks after SFA gave SRU cold-shoulder and stuck with Hampden? Delicious. EDIT: Hearts v Celtic and Aberdeen v Rangers the draw. So another option would have been... indeed could still be... to do Aberdeen v Rangers on Sunday 28th October, then Hearts v Celtic on Saturday 3rd or Sunday 4th November. As they're due to meet at Parkhead that day it would mean no other Premiership games being disrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Well, that's either going to be an utterly magic or absolutely tragic day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betting competition Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 There is talk of Aberdeen putting points very high for semi-final so maybe tynecastle or Easter road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Will be nice to be in the other side of Hampden for a change. Despite our songs from last night we have been out-staunched by our semi final opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because neither Celtic, nor Rangers can play on the Saturday due to Europa League games the Thursday before, so both games would have to be on the Sunday with one at Hampden and one elsewhere.

Guest DAVIDB69 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Why not murrayfield for hearts v Celtic it would be as neutral as Hampden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 2 minutes ago, betting competition said: There is talk of Aberdeen putting points very high for semi-final so maybe tynecastle or Easter road Is this on the supposition that Hearts v Celtic came out first so they get Hampden? Playing it at Tynecastle or ER would mean only 8,000 or 9,000 tickets each (after sponsors and segregation) so don't imagine this would go down well with either Aberdeen/Rangers and their fans. Equally it could only be Murrayfield or these. When did OF last both play in SFs on same day? Decades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Could be the first Semi I miss. No way I’m getting on a train full of scum through to Edinburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Celtic play Hearts at home on 3rd November. Couldn't they play the league fixture a week earlier and the cup semi the weekend of the 3rd instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
