    So we're away in Germany but get the early kick off on the Sunday?

    We're first out but get shafted to a later kick off at Hampden and then day's later get * off to a different city? Home city of the side we're playing?

    A proper * take..

    The night kick off would've been good in the end for us. Spicy with a good atmo under the light's..

    so the bottom line is we're the holders, drawn out of the hat first, playing abroad on thursday and we get the early Edinburgh ko!!!

    Being the holders and when you came out the hat his irrelevant for me.. the travelling from Germany is more of an issue tbf..

    I'm sorry man but this season with decisions is one of the worst i can remember against us,and the benefits other teams have had.

    The tackles in the Hearts game was a disgrace,no action taken.
    The tackle against Eduoard,resulting in an injury.
    Boyata Red card.
    The decision to play the Cup holders at a non neutral ground in the cup.
    Sevco Red cards dismissed/not given for persistant fouling/dissent yet other teams have been given red cards by far less.


    Theres probably far more to add,but im that * of just now i cant even think straight.

    fair enough, yeah that's the biggest issue...how about Edinburgh is better for Aberdeen who have longest journey.

    holders you're right fairly irrelevant but first out of hat should mean Hampden to me!!

    Lawell apparently was told to leave the meeting today as the decision was made,acccording to SSB.

    Guidi stating there major trouble ahead as Celtic may be about to go down the legal road as it looks discriminatory and then brung to the attention of Jim Farry and Cadete incident.

    Doncaster must go after this,no way he can keep this position.

    They only decided to use Murrayfield tho, so first our the hat doesn't come into it for me. But on reflection teams out the hat for the venue would have been fair and transparent..especially when there's arguments from all sides on where to play.

    Is the pitch bigger?

    Diets used it for half a season last year so will be used to it and on the doorstep..

    Earliest kick off is another equaliser..

    When people state that Murrayfield isn't a neutral stadium - it technically is due to the fact none of the SPFL teams play there as it's a rugby stadium? If they're saying because it's in Edinburgh, all other teams outside of Glasgow will claim the same thing we are claiming.

    It doesn't matter where we play, just as long as we turn up!!

    Being the Holders is irrelevant, drawn first definitely isn’t. When there’s no other fair logic or external pressures (Celtic are now suggesting the Police had no preference) the first tie should be defaulted to the actual semi location. For me anyway. It’s what dictates who is ‘home’ and ‘away’ even at neutral venues.

    Celtic have been the only team to suffer from this disgraceful decision.

    Great for Sevco * as they stay in Glasgow and get a later k/o

    Bit better for Aberdeen as their supporters as they get a later game

    Fantastic for Hearts as they get to stay in Edinburgh with an early k/o

    Celtic - cup holders - need to travel to Edinburgh for the early kick off on the bacl of travelling from Austria.

    Outrageous, yet not surprising. If Lawwell has any balls he'll be on the blower to the legal briefs...
