We’re moving into the fourth round which wasn’t on the map last year. but interestingly it doesn’t explain the draw rules for the quarters and semis? According to SPFL Format, fourth round is all in draw, no seeds.

So a team getting to the final will have 3 league matches requiring rescheduling.

Rangers B 0-3 Hamilton Academical

Next week the final 3rd round tie Dunfermline v. Celtic B. Which will hopefully mark the end of B team participation.

All we need is for Dunfermline not to embarrass themselves. 

What could possibly go wrong?

Have all the B teams ever been knocked out before the last 16 before?

Should have made a ruling that all clubs with B teams would agree to pay an away following of 300+ to the hosts, whether they take that many or not. A small % of the OF regular 50,000 crowd. Get back in the reserve League.

It's an SPFL competition. The clubs should have just said they weren't having them full stop. I have no sympathy for clubs wasting their nights playing bairns in front of empty stands.

Everyone with a brain at the time said it was opening the door to this shite and then we got 2 then 3 B teams in senior leagues and it won't stop there.

Quite right,can see an influx of B teams over the next few years - and when they start winning the league, some clown will ask why they can't get promoted, another can of worms opening up.Cant see any benefit these teams have provided so far, expect they'll all be in the 1st teams now that they've played against grown men (wasn't that the idea ? )

It neither furthers their chances of getting into the first team, nor brings in big gates. These were the two main arguments for and neither have materialised.
