Celtic and Hearts B Teams in Lowland League?

They seem to be making things up short notice. Seen it online that Saturday's a league game or Glasgow Cup game, it'll be at Airdrie or Parkhead, and that April 12th is either a league game or Glasgow Cup game

Lowland still have it as a league game as of 4 hours ago.

While Celtic's B team twitter have it as a Glasgow Cup game.

I see the colts game scheduled for this weekend has been moved to 12 April. I can't see either of their games against each other getting played.

As some here have already hinted, if this has not been approved by the LL, then the OF outfits could be fined for failing to fulfill a League fixture on a specified date? Or could they? Anyone know the LL rules on this?

I assume that Rangers asked for the postponement as their U18s are playing Hibs tonight in the Youth Cup semi-final.

The LL management should not allow such postponements, as the LL should have priority over a youth competition and neither Celtic nor Rangers are not short of eligible players.

So with the success of Rangers and Celtic B teams in the LL its looking likely they will be joined by Hearts and Hibs next year with Aberdeen, Dundee and Dundee United going to the Highland League. 
You think so, do you ? [emoji6]

Well this is a total shock...
 

Odds on the only reason it's done yearly is because SPFL entry is still the end game for Old Firm colt teams so they didn't want to be committed at tier 5 for any longer than that. That provides the opportunity to get rid of them but their presence probably did benefit most clubs financially so that's no sure thing.

After what happened to the Tay Bridge boundary on Club 42 relegation, hopefully George Fraser also inadvertently opened the door to a playoff rule change on entry into the LL with this. Will be interesting to see if there's any movement on that angle at this general meeting. There have been rumours on here that it's on the agenda and that the SFA is pushing for changes.

Number 5? 

Isn't that the South Challenge Cup?

The SJFA have offered to run a national cup competition for tier 6 and below, with the same rules/flaws as have always been.

At a recent EoSFL meeting, that was about as popular as a dose of Covid in your squad.

I believe the HFL are not interested in any form of national non-league cup.
