Quarter final draw - Hibs v Celtic

[Diclonius]

Monday after the Highland derby.

Who do we want then? I'll take Auchinleck at home. Failing that, Partick.

[we are hibs]

Partick, Dundee United or the winner of Inverness ross county at home

[The 90+2]

Partick.

[Northernhibee]

Patrick.

Partick. Home or away. Partick away is a great day out.

Yes fancy Partick at Firhill

[Bangkok Hibby]

I havent been to Firhill since the mid seventies. Clearly remember spending the whole game fending off suicide wasps 😒 🐝🐝🐝
Hope its different now?

[Here’s Lucy!]

I'd take Auchinleck or Hearts at Easter Road.

One of them we'd beat easily, the other we would just beat.

You work out which is which! :greengrin:greengrin

[cabbageandribs1875]

killie or dundee utd at home, games we can win and reasonable away supports to keep the club treasurer happyish

[A Hi-Bee]

A home draw dont care who against.

[Sir David Gray]

I'd take Partick Thistle, Dundee Utd or Inverness/Ross County at home.

I'd rather avoid Sevco/Kilmarnock, Celtic/St Johnstone, Aberdeen or Hearts.

If there's a shock in the Aberdeen or Hearts games, I'd take Queen of the South or Auchinleck Talbot.

[Lancs Harp]

Celtic at home. Great occasion, big gate and someone has to knock them out. US :wink:

I believe so

[PaulSmith]

Looking at the date of the Final I see it’s the same day as the Rugby Guinness Pro14 rugby final at Celtic Park.

So we’ll have 60,000 at Celtic Park and 52,000 at Hampden Park less than 3 miles away.

Need to get the pubs and clubs booked up now!

[Gettin' Auld]

I can see us being drawn against Dundee Utd.....

[davhibby]

Partick or Dundee United are by far the best as both of them have to 100% concentrate on the league so not only would be up against a championship team but probably a weakened one

Is the Scottish Cup final not always on the same Saturday?

It can’t be considering we won it on the 21st and this years is on 25th. Could have had it the 18th giving the Scotland players two weeks rest before a qualifier. Last year it was on the 19th.

I'm all for an SFA slagging but on this occasion it's not deserved.

The Scottish Cup final is always played the Saturday after the last weekend of the league season in May. It is always played in Glasgow and it always kicks off at 3pm.

The rugby match is the one that has different venues each year and if anything it's the planning of the Pro 14 that should be questioned when they are hosting a match on the same day, in the same city as an established event like the Scottish Cup final.

[Weegreenman]

A home draw against anyone but Celtic :cb

There's no way either would play a weakened team. Chance to progress to a luctrative semi final.

If I’m reading this correctly, all 6th round/Quarter Final ties will be live on TV, so not going to be a 3pm on a Saturday KO

Our record at Pittodrie over the last 10 years must be as bad if not worse than our record at Parkhead.

[CathroMustStay]

Partick at ER would be ideal.

[Hibeesmad]

I’m guessing Ross County or Inverness at ER.

[Danderhall Hibs]

That's total madness.

The rugby will probably be a late afternoon kick off but still mental.

Imagine if it’s Rangers v Celtic and Leinster v Ulster.

Woke up this morning with a gut feeling we will get rangers at ibrox. How many tickets would we be entitled too if it happened?

Not sure I follow your point. The the Rangers fans I know hate Ulster more than Leinster. An all-Ireland sport with cross community support doesn’t fit with the loyalist mindset at all. It doesn’t provide a space for screaming sectarian abuse.

Entitled to 20%, which are Scottish Cup rules

[Crazyhorse]

I think you are confused about rugby in Ulster/Ireland and loyalism in Northern Ireland.

[Crazyhorse]

dont think that is the case.

In my experience and looking at attitudinal research on this Ulster rugby and Irish rugby is despised by Northern Irish Loyalists. It undermines their identity based on Northern Irish exclusiveness.
Maybe you are confusing their appropriation of ‘Ulster’ to describe the 6 county statelet in the north of Ireland with a support for Ulster rugby?

[green with envy]

If they get through...

Don't think we would as we never got all of that end when we beat them 3-0 a few years ago.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Maybe although when I watched the BT sport documentary on it recently what you’re saying didn’t come across.

[Diclonius]

If they get through...


The whole Broomloan end which we would never sell.

If we can get a few wins on the board come cup day I reckon we would sell the whole thing.

I've seen us win there and therefore have no reason to go back, but if there's going to be a sizeable amount of us I would defo try and get a ticket.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Don't think we would as we never got all of that end when we beat them 3-0 a few years ago.

I think you'll find we did … I was there and that end was all Hibs. I don't know if we sold all the 7000 tickets, but if we didn't it was only a few hundred short.

I think if we drew them away we would have a very good chance of selling out our allocation …. 7000 tickets gives you far more safety in numbers than having 900 does and a lot of folk who don't usually bother trying for Ibrox tickets would go … I can guarantee that I know at least 5 folk who don't usually bother who would sign up, including me.

[hibee_nation]

Do they? I thought they all had the same beliefs - it’s not all Ireland when a team from the North play a team from the South.

There is no team from the North though. Ulster is formed from counties both sides of the border that is why yer loyalists will have nothing to do with them. Rugby types ken. :aok:

I like what you're thinking, but I'd like to beat the Hertz in the final (or even the semi) to make up for previous days best forgotten. However, the prospect of losing (again) means I'd probably rather not..

Aberdeen score in the first half and McInnes immediately puts on three centre backs. They then go down for 3/4 minutes every time there's a foul. Shinnie stays on the pitch despite literally breaking Gauld's leg.

Nah, not for me. Would prefer Rangers or Kilmarnock.

Personally, I wouldn’t mind if we get a ‘challenging’ draw. It’ll give our new manager a chance for an early shot across the bows against better opposition. If it’s an ‘easier’ tie, fine.

If we are going to win the Cup looking at Celtics record we will have to beat them.

Much greater chance of emulating our previous result against them and beating them at Easter Road than at the Seminor Final at Hampden.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Decent draw from point of view of having best chance to win it. If we could beat Celtic (very difficult, but best chance is at home) then the semis will be wide open (at least one Championship team, along with probably Hearts & sevco).

[MWHIBBIES]

Haven't lost to them for 5 years at home, pathetic reaction from some.

More than 7k home fans for this one hopefully.

I think we’d all agree, better to get them at home than away/Hampden

Also beat them another time in 1894 but the match was declared void and Celtic won the replay, anyone know the story behind this?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Aberdeen v Rangers/Kilmarnock
Partick Thistle v Hearts
Hibs v Celtic
Dundee Utd v Inverness/Ross County

Cheers mate. Let's enjoy it; it's no formality for Celtic :flag:

[Del Boy]

Do premier get the two first picks? Ie presumably our game and Aberdeen game

[CockneyRebel]

Relax. When has Appleton ever let us down?


Nice one.

[we are hibs]

If we beat Celtic we will win the cup. I fancy us more here than I would've if we had drawn rangers, hearts or Aberdeen at home. Just think we have the beating of Celtic at Easter road for some reason.

I believe the pitch was frozen but they decided to play a friendly anyway, we won the friendly 2-0.

Aberdeen v Dundee Utd
Hibs v Hearts

Semi final draw.

[DH1875]

When do the TV games get chosen and dates confirmed?

Their already chosen. Part of the Premier sports deal is that they get to show the Rangers/Celtic games so our game will be on Premier Sports.

[GRA]

Always seem to choke against Celtic in the Scottish Cup... think have lost 19 of the last 20 games against them in the competition... but at least it's a home tie... someone's got to stop their cup streak!

That stat has made me feel even better. It can’t go on forever. We are winning this.

[Billy Whizz]

Bring it on, beat them in December at ER. They have 2 big Europa games, well as League games before we play them
Rather have them at home than Hampden
We just need to build momentum before then

[Jim44]

Good draw. A challenging game at home and not insurmountable. Rather them at home than in a final at Hampden. The Jambos will blow it away from home at Patrick (tough **** :greengrin) and Sevco(probably) or Aberdeen out. Nice wee platform for our new manager. :hibees

[CathroMustStay]

Will say it now if we are going to get Celtic I’d rather them at this stage and at home

Absolutely.

No fear!

:flag:

[Hibernia&Alba]

We do have the 'nae pressure' factor on our side. Our form is poor; Celtic are hitting form again. Nobody expects us to win, so approach the game as we did the league match at ER and take the game to them.

[DH1875]

Have to beat them at some point. Might as well be this round.

[Pete]

[Billy Whizz]

Hibs v Celtic or Aberdeen v Killie/Rangers will be 1st picks for Premier Sports
Wouldn’t surprise me if we are the 5.15pm KO on the Saturday

[BILLYHIBS]

Celtic at Darkheid we are out!

Celtic at Easter Road we have a chance

A fighting chance

Cmon HIBS

I wonder what the crowd will be :greengrin

Hopefully they keep it Saturday 3.00pm Kick off

[Hibeesmad]

Would be happy with that

[Northernhibee]

We can put an end to the treble treble.

[Pretty Boy]

Neither side will be thrilled with the draw. Let's be honest nobody wanted Celtic. For their part they haven't won in 3 at ER, losing twice, so it won't have been the draw they wanted.

Win and with two of Aberdeen, Rangers and Kilmarnock out it really opens up. As long as we give it a go then I'll be happy.

Are Celtic not in European action on the Thursday before hand?

[chrisski33]

We wont beat Celtic.

[007]

We'll beat Celtic then lose to Dundee United in the semi.

[Hibeesmad]

Are Celtic not in European action on the Thursday before hand?

They play next Thursday (21st), Scottish Cup is on the weekend of the 1st-3rd March. They play Hearts away the Wednesday before and we play St Johnstone away.

[hibee_girl]

Are Celtic not in European action on the Thursday before hand?

No, they play Valencia this week and next.

[Hibeesforever]

This is going to be the greatest cup win...Celtic, then The Rangers and then the Hearts at Hampden, how good would that be!!!

[Hibees1973]

Celtic have Hearts away the Wednesday before they play us in the cup. Hearts with their giant hoofers bound to take a few Celtic players out of their team before they play us in the cup game.

I look at it this way. Hibs at Easter Road is the most difficult cup game Celtic have had since Rodgers took over 2 years ago. I heard they are unbeaten in around 25 domestic cup games under him.

Hope it is an evening kick off under the lights.

A team such as:

Marciano

Gray MacGregor Hanlon Stevenson

Milligan

Horgan Mallan Gauld

Kamberi McNulty

It is possible.

[Billy Whizz]

What about Slivka? He likes a goal against Celtic in a win at ER.

[BullsCloseHibs]

Real dirty feeling that hearts are going to make the final this year.

They might do but they ain't good enough to win it. No chance.

[Bishop Hibee]

They might do but they ain't good enough to win it. No chance.

If we beat Celtc then anyone left in the last 4 would have a good chance.

[hibee-boys]

They might do but they ain't good enough to win it. No chance.

Yip, and even if we don't beat Celtic rest assured they'll take care of Hearts in the semi or final.

[Speedway]

That's out then. Fantastic.


We wont beat Celtic.

Hibbies are such defeatist phannies.

That's us through to the Semis then.

We WILL beat Celtic, just like we did a few weeks ago.

[green with envy]

I think you'll find we did … I was there and that end was all Hibs. I don't know if we sold all the 7000 tickets, but if we didn't it was only a few hundred short.

I think if we drew them away we would have a very good chance of selling out our allocation …. 7000 tickets gives you far more safety in numbers than having 900 does and a lot of folk who don't usually bother trying for Ibrox tickets would go … I can guarantee that I know at least 5 folk who don't usually bother who would sign up, including me.

I defiantly know we didn't. I was also there and I can assure you there were rangers fans in the Broomloan Rd end that Sunday afternoon.

The only game we got all of that end was when we beat them over two legs in the League Cup SF.

[04Sauzee]

How many tickets do we have to give Celtic ? Is it 10% of the capacity? If so would we be required to give them the full South due to segregation?

[The 90+2]

We will win against Celtic.

[green with envy]

How many tickets do we have to give Celtic ? Is it 10% of the capacity? If so would we be required to give them the full South due to segregation?

I'm pretty sure that they would be entitled to 20%, so yes, they will get the full end.

We got the whole end when we beat them 3-0 during mowbrays time. We sold 7k plus , the stand holds 8k

[Billy Whizz]

Min 20% are Scottish Cup rules
We’d be as well giving them FF5 lower as well, as that will be empty as usual

[Sir David Gray]

Yes they'll be entitled to the full South stand for this game.

[BoomtownHibees]

Yes you're right. That was in the days when The Rangers home attendances weren't very clever. Sure Davie Cooper scored a cracking free kick early on, but we held on for the win.

We sold approx 5500 tickets.

There was a few dozen Rangers fans in an end section of the bottom tier of the Broomloan.

[Leith Green]

We didn’t. There were Huns in that end as well

We got the whole end , the only bit we didnt sell was lower corner next to main stand , the huns sold the remaining tickets to their own fans. The stand holds 8k , we sold 7k

In the bottom tier we only got to about in line with the 6 yard box. There’s another 2 sections to the left of the goals we didn’t get

[Hibernia&Alba]

No!

Given he's won every domestic trophy available so far at Celtic, that's impressive from Hibs. Celtic will know they have a tough tie.

[green&left]

Yeah on the bottom tier

So its not a whole end then :greengrin:thumbsup:


Anyway back to pumping Celtc...:flag:

[Hi Heid Yin]

Cracking draw!

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

I fancy our boys to beat them, irrespective of who our new head coach might be.

[G B Young]

It's a really good draw for several reasons:



We've beaten Celtic on both their last visits to ER and hopefully with a new boss bounce we can do so again
A win would go a long way to bringing back the feelgood factor at Hibs
With Aberdeen or Rangers (and possibly both) going out before the semi-finals a win would put us right in the mix to go all the way
It's a cash boost for the club (even more so if it were to go to a replay, much as we'd want to win it the tie at ER)
Even if we lose, Celtic's continued presence provides virtually cast-iron insurance against Potter winning his first ever trophy (though I can actually see the yams going out to Thistle)

[Leith Green]

So its not a whole end then :greengrin:thumbsup:

Someone needs to tell those clowns they have lost the last 2 at Easter Rd,

Despite being 8th in the league, we’ll be a different prospect under a new manager than we are right now.

5 years since they have beaten us at ER :)

[Hibbyradge]

I was there and I had been at the previous Sproule hat trick game.

Apart from the segregated bit to the left, we got the whole stand for the cup game.

The independent, the only report I can find which mentions our fans, says we had 6000 fans. That's what I remember too.

New manager in place will give the lads a boost. I think we are well capable of causing an upset. :flag::flag::flag:

[Hibbyradge]

I found this from the 0-3 cup game.

You can see we had the whole stand up to the corner where the segregation started.

[ian cruise]

I'd have preferred an easier tie, especially as the new gaffer will still be finding his feet in the job but as others have said if you're going to have to play Celtic better to do it at ER than Hampden.

We've players who can beat Celtic, we know they can they've done it before. Won't be easy but if someone's goi g to stop the treble treble might as well be us.

Same at the top from memory. I don't think Hibs fans would have been allowed to be directly above the rangers fans of the last two sections.

Ok. My memory is different, but I could be mistaken so no point arguing.

We definitely had about 6000 fans though. I don't know how many that stand holds.
