If we were to finish 4th this year, what needs to happen in the cup for us to get Europe? Was told if Celtic, Rangers or Aberdeen win it then 4th get Europe. But then was also told if Motherwell/Kilmarnock get to final and finish runners up they get Europe instead of 4th.
Which is correct? just to clarify my confusion!
Also thoughts on who people would prefer to win the cup?

If Motherwell win the cup 4th does not get Europe. Any other outcome and 4th gets Europe.

If anyone in the top 3 wins it then 4th get Europe. If anyone outside the top 3 wins it then the winners get Europe.

Cheers for clarifying, we are in a strong position then. Though Killie are to be kept an eye on!
If it was celtic v killie or rangers v killie final. Then I hope celtic win their semi, as I would trust them a lot more to get the job done.
don't like to support any of the ugly sisters, but would be funny to see rangers continue to go without silverware for a while longer.

Suggest will have a bearing on some of their results going forward
Still fancy Aberdeen to beat them in the replay

Basically Motherwell or Killie need to win it for 4th not to be a European place.
Last season I would have put Celtic as a stick on to win it, but this season they are a wee bit below the standard they set last year and I could see a fighting performance by Killie or Motherwell causing a shock ... come to think of it considering the fright the Zombies gave them last time out at Parkhead its not inconceivable they could lose the semi.
I'm discounting Aberdeen .... all they need to see is the 'welcome to Glasgow' road sign and they fill their breeks

I’ve been tipping Killie for the cup for the last month or so which means there will be no sheep in Europe

On a side note .... If Killie get past Aberdeen and its a Killie v Motherwell semi where are they going to play it? They surely cant go for Hampden, the utterly pathetic turn out by the good folk of Motherwell / Wishaw yesterday in support of their team was nothing short of a disgrace, I felt really sorry for the Motherwell players.
Given the poor support both clubs 'enjoy' even Easter Road or the Rust arena would be too bloody big.

Imagine if we need rangers to win the final because we've finished 4th...

I seem to recall in the not too distant past Hibs and the Oldco carving up a draw which handed them the league title and us a European place... much to the consternation of a lot of Hibs fans in the crowd it must be said.Last edited by NAE NOOKIE; 05-03-2018 at 11:04 AM.

If it had no bearing on Europe for us, it would be Killy or Motherwell for the Cup for me.
If it meant Europe, then Celtic (and grudgingly the Huns).

Never thought I’d say this as I don’t like the club, but I’m hoping for a Celtic treble. It would mean that we are the last club to truly win, rather than simply buy, a major Scottish tournament. They have gone to sleep at the wheel a bit but I hope they rip the Huns a new one.

Having booked flights to Copenhagen two years ago and subsequently unable to go, I seriously hope we finish at least third this year.
Don't want to miss out again.
