    And nothing. The fact that we had 2 home ties out of 17 is very unlikely. If we reset the clock now the chances are that wont happen again in anyone heres lifetime. I'm not suggesting a fix but it is worth a raised eyebrow anyway.

    So are the ones who did the draw in on it then? Owen Coyle and people like that?

    If it's a conspiracy then it's the worst conspiracy in the world.

    I'd rather be away where there will be a full house and tims in good voice than a 2/3 empty CP with the sweetie wrapper rustlers in attendance.

    Well they would have to be.

    I demand an inquiry into Gary Anderson's connection with the SFA also.

    It's not a conspiracy but it is pretty * nuts to be honest.

    It is a statistical anomaly anyway. I challenge anyone to root through the history books and find other similar cases. Based on the odds of 2800/1 it will very rare indeed.

    It is statistically very unlikely.

    But it's just how it's turned out.

    This Thread..:56:

    This is why we signed their two best players.

    Ronny foresaw the cheating treble fearing SFA would pull out all stops.

    In mystic Ronny we trust.

    No fix, go watch a roulette wheel and you will see these sort of stats come up time and time again

    exactly.

    I picked the correct colour 15 times in a row... unfortunately i just kept putting 5ers on. But my mate couldn't believe it.

    It was actually only my 2nd time ever playing roulette.

    Well i did see green come up 3 times in a row one time, i dont know the odds but i would imagine they would be sky high. At the same time it was a machine so i dont know how trustworthy that really is.

    Would have prefered a home tie, so as many can go to the game as possible. Anyway should be a good game.

    That is definitely worth a raised eyebrow anyway. I wouldnt rule anything out with the SFA but if i am being honest I cant see them risking it. Not that they wouldnt do it i just cant see them risking it. Stranger things have happened in Scottish football though especially in the last half decade.

    Much prefer being away with the backing of our hardcore support than a game at home, in front of a quiet, third full Celtic Park crowd.

    Toughest game possible but looking on the bright side, it gets it out of the way.

    The odds of getting 2 Home ties out of 17 is 964/1.

    In years of Scottish Cup draws up to now it was likely to happen to Celtic once every about 4,500 years. In future it will be likely every around 7,000-8,000 years.
