Although we were drawn first and the "home" team it goes without saying Celtic will get "their" end at the neutral venue,,,,I can't remember us ever winning when we're in the West at Hampden!?!

Semi final v Livi ?

Celtic...

Straight after they have been to Germany to play Bayern Munich...

Need to hope that Leigh "forgets" to leave Germany...

**CathroMustStay** · 21-09-2017 08:52 PM

Exciting draw!

Absolutely no pressure on us either.

Bet we're the Sunday then....

Doubt it, we play Hearts the following Tuesday night.

It was always going to be unlikely we would win the cup without having to beat Celtic so we've probably got a better chance of beating them in the semi than in the final. Hopefully they'll be jaded after playing away to Bayern on the Wednesday.

***Hibernia&Alba*** · 21-09-2017 08:52 PM

We'll need every player to play close to their best and also hope for a wee bit of luck. It's a big ask, but we can only give our best.

Celtic play Bayern on the Wednesday before. We’ll be the Sunday.

My 13 year old some has just told me that he is very confident about beating them. That'll do for me!

My Grandad has said for ages that we'll be the first team to beat Celtic, I'd take that in the semi

Teams play Wed, Sat all the time. They won't move the Derby again after it being moved already

**Roxyhibee** · 21-09-2017 08:54 PM

I expect us to give them a real game - we've got good experienced that haven't hit form yet. Our squad will be really looking forward to this. And Lennon will have them seriously up for this.

Pressure all on them for another treble. Let's pack our end and enjoy it.

We won't be.

Wednesday to Saturday is fine

Sunday to Tuesday isn't.

I'll be raging if they do, I've already booked flights Tuesday afternoon- Wednesday morning!

***The Harp*** · 21-09-2017 08:56 PM

Probably less pressure on us with that draw. We won't be expected to win so we can just go for it.
Their unbeaten run's going to end sometime, would be nice if it's us that does it.

We will already have done it before this game

1972 I was there

***Col2*** · 21-09-2017 08:57 PM

Both Sevco and Well are due to play the Wednesday after the semi so no disruption for them if game if Sunday.

99.9% certain Hibs v Celtic will be Saturday.

**HFCdeb** · 21-09-2017 08:57 PM

Bring
It
On.

***Billy Whizz*** · 21-09-2017 08:57 PM

We have to beat Celtic to win the competition, let’s do it at the semi final stage
Bring it on

The West obviously. Nothing must displace Celtic from 'their' end.

Damn. I want 'your' end.

Naw that isn't innuendo

**~~660~~** · 21-09-2017 09:01 PM

Given it’s our second home, we must be given the David Gray end.

***Bishop Hibee*** · 21-09-2017 09:02 PM

Bring it on! Give it our best shot and I'll be happy. They have to lose sometime.

I take it us being the home team has absolutely no influence on this? Would be great to annoy them before we even kick off.

**SirDavidsNapper** · 21-09-2017 09:03 PM

Pressure well and trully off

**kaimendhibs** · 21-09-2017 09:04 PM

Nothing to lose, bring it on

Lets ****ing do it. Nothing to lose, everything to gain. Get right behind the team for 90 minutes.

Celtic have lost semi finals to some poorer teams than us in the last 5 years. Hope our lads are right fired up
