Think Killie will beat Aberdeen so imo the best result for us would be rangers and Celtic being kept apart, would mean if they get to the final 4th place almost certainly in Europe.

I know the ideal situation is us finishing third but I do think 4th is more likely.

I get your point, but want to see the Huns out in the next round

I always want that shower of bigots to get beat but it doesn’t do any harm to look for a silver lining should they win.

Celtic v Motherwell

The Rangers v Aberdeen/Kilmarnock.

That’s what I think.

Hibs is my concern. If it suits Hibs for there to be a Rantic final, that's what I want.

I’d rather we do it off on our back, and I’m sure we can do it

Kilmarnock are winning the cup this year.

That Celtic team is there for the taking, Aberdeen are serial bottlers and Motherwell just don't look very good. I wouldn't bet against a Killie v Rangers final.

Of course but it’s going to be difficult where I think 4th is pretty much wrapped up

I might be wrong but I thought that if the winners of the cup were in the top 3 then the runners up get the European spot? Can see a Killie Celtic final which is why I think it’s not what we were after. Like I say tho I could be wrong.

If Motherwell make the final we need to make 3rd to get the 4th UEFA spot.

There's a 3/5 chance that 4th place will qualify for Europe next season. I'm not sure how you've come to that conclusion.

The runners up haven't qualified for Europe for about 5 years now.

That rule was scrapped. If a team from the top 3 wins the cup, 4th place gets into Europe.

Only if Motherwell win the cup. Runners up no longer get European place.

Only if they win.

It is possible for the Scottish Cup winners to have already qualified for a UEFA competition through their league ranking in the Scottish Premiership. In this scenario the qualification spot passes to the highest ranked team in that competition not yet qualified, rather than to the Scottish Cup runners-up.

The best scenario now is Celtic/Rangers v Aberdeen then we are are a shoe in for Europe.

:agree: The last team to benefit from that was Hibs, when we lost to Celtc in 2013.

If Celtic win the cup, 2nd in the league will go in at the 2nd qualifying round, and 3rd and 4th at the 1st qualifying round

There's a 3/5 chance that 4th place will qualify for Europe next season. I'm not sure how you've come to that conclusion.

Just for a quick correction, it's a 5/8 chance (assuming that the games are decided by a coin toss), and better still if you take into account the fact that some teams are more likely to win than others.

Aberdeen and Killie only have half the chance any of the other three have, because one of them has to knock the other out first.

That’s good then, I was wrong. Does it matter who wins it then asking as it’s not Killie or Motherwell?

And it's only as low as 3/5 if all five teams left in the competition have an equal chance of winning. Given that the three teams we want to win are all higher in the league than the two teams we don't want to win, I'd say significantly better than a 3/5 chance.

Ok cheers. All I meant was there's 5 teams left and 3 of them winning the cup would result in 4th place being given a European spot.

The winner of the old firm game will win the cup imo

4th will get us Europe I reckon. Let's concentrate on us and see if we can get top 3 and worry about that come may though

Would be nice to see Motherwell or Killie win the cup (out of the teams left in it!) but it would mean they would take the 4th Euro spot so we would have to get 3rd at least.
Still not given up on 2nd and can’t see ‘well or Killie winning the cup so is all probably irrelevant
