Scottish Cup 2022/23


Recommended Posts

Nice to get a more interesting tie for a change. Other than playing Glenafton Athletic at home (boo!) the last interesting tie I can remember us having was away to Irvine Meadow about 11 years ago. Think we've had St Johnstone or Raith in every season since then.

Anyway, we don't really do the Scottish Cup, so congratulations to Stenny on their giant killing.

Premier Sports will absolutely pick the Celtic game. Have they ever not shown a game involving either cheek since they got the rights to the cup games in Scotland?

Every game Celtic and Rangers played in the Scottish Cup between 2018/19 and 2021/22 was live on Premier Sports. 

Whether Viaplay have a different approach remains to be seen.

Did they not just ignore their 2nd pick when they were drawn against each other too, and only picked that one game?

There is a chance I've made that up but seem to remember it.

Celtic's home cup ticket scheme has far more than 15,000 members however and they automatically get billed for all cup games so Morton will get a better pay day than that.

That's banking on Celtic declaring members of this scheme who do not attend as part of the 'Gate receipts'.

No. 

In that season, they picked Aberdeen v Livingston as their second pick in the fourth round.

They picked Hibs v Motherwell in the quarter-finals (along with Rangers v St Johnstone).

Do the BBC have a particular slot? Linlithgow away being moved to a Monday night would be a bitter, bitter blow. Friday however would be fine.

IIRC last year they had Hibs v Cove on the Thursday night then Talbot v Hearts Saturday lunchtime

By definition a licensed ground is enclosed, has an approved capacity, has adequate access and facilities for that capacity, and an ability to segregate if required. For any game to 'need moving' should require a special safety issue like building work/damage/etc. or genuine police concern over ticketless fans trying to break in.

SFA leadership have also spent recent years telling clubs they'd be tightening up after previous laxness.

I’ve always said that if we can’t get an outright ban on switching home fixtures in the cup, clubs should be forced to nominate their home ground ahead of the draw.

Another option would be limiting clubs to their usual capacity at alternative venue. Registered for 1,500 but "dreadfully sorry we've got to use a nearby Premiership park for safety reasons"? Fine but you can still only let in a (now safe) 1,500.

Elgin v Drum would be a good tv choice, showing a lower level club - would they be able to get a full strength side on a Friday or Monday, considering the distance. No idea why anyone would want to watch Celtic v Morton, if you're interested then you'd go to the game, surely ? LInlithgow the popular choice, decent ground etc.
