AllySloan Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Was watching the extended highlights of the Italian Super Cup on BT Sport and thought why is there no "Scottish Super Cup"? Surely the TV companies would be keen as more than likely would result in a 5th Old Firm. Thoughts? Good idea financially to have another Old Firm game?Or just another excuse to ignore everyone outside of Glasgow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 It's more or less a tournament that absolutely nobody cares about in the countries that have them, which is probably why we've never bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I anticipate the bitterness about Aberdeen being Scotland’s most successful Club in European competition being along anytime now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nightfly Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 It's more or less a tournament that absolutely nobody cares about in the countries that have them, which is probably why we've never bothered. Did anyone watch The FIFA World Club Championship, the ultimate Super Cup of them all, this year? Never really interested me since it was expanded from just 2 teams.

Ginaro Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 3 hours ago, AllySloan said: 5th Old Firm There's the problem, none of the other top countries have their big teams playing each other four times in the league each season. Suppose if we ever expanded the league and went to two games per season then a supercup would have to come in for Sky to get a third game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I don't think Scottish football is missing much by not having one but I also don't see how it could hurt to bring one in. Seems an easy decision for the TV companies and can work as an extended curtain-raiser for the start of the new season plus you're almost guaranteed a big crowd at Hampden in the sun. It's important for the SFA to get use out of the ground since they've taken over. Better yet, try and flog it abroad to satisfy the itch to play a game abroad, to stop them ever doing it to a meaningful game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
