Now that the draw is made, would it be safe to assume that the Huns vs Celtc game will be early on Sunday in another vain attempt to minimise violence and subsequent wife beatings?

Just planning a couple of things that weekend. You'd like to think the telly gits could make their mind up ASAP so folk could make plans but you never know..........

So that would mean wating until Friday. I think Saturday lunchtime is nailed on for our game though.

I think its safe to say we will be 12.30 ish on the Saturday. Sky like to have the "Big Game" on the Sunday slot.

I don't know why the TV companies don't run a few scenarios.

TBF there were only 3 outcomes.

Us v Aberdeen & The Rangers v Celtic
Us v The Rangers & Aberdeen v Celtic
Us v Celtic & Aberdeen v The Rangers

These all could have been decided in advance. I guess the uncertainty would have come weather it was Aberdeen or Partick Thistle. But in the grans scheme of things it wouldn't have really mattered to viewing figures.

Can't see us being anything other than Saturday lunchtime TBH.
