QF draw

[SHODAN]

Who do we want?

Would be happy with St Mirren/Dundee/United, prefer to avoid Motherwell/Hearts and if we draw the OF, ah well there's always next year.

[Big_Franck]

The draw is on Monday night isn't it? I'd take the winner of Peterheid v Dundee at home.

[brianmc]

Peterhead at Easter Road.

[Billy Whizz]

Anyone at home please. Old firm will probably be in Europe the Thursday before the game, so maybe a good time to get them
Think all 4 games are on TV

[SHODAN]

Ideal draw:
Hibs v Dundee
Rangers v Celtic
Motherwell v Hearts
St Mirren v United

Likely draw:
Celtic v Dundee
Rangers v St Mirren
Motherwell v Dundee Utd
Hearts v Hibs

[Sir David Gray]

Yes after that match.

[Sir David Gray]

Yes two on BBC and two on Premier Sports.

Home tie against anyone but Hearts

Winner of Peterhead or Dundee.

Home tie against anyone but Hearts

We’ve actually got a pretty decent home cup record against the ****bos. I’d much rather play them than either of the Infirm.

[hibbysam]

Home tie against anyone but Hearts

You’d rather play rangers or Celtic than hearts? Crazy.

Home tie against the lowest ranked side, so the winner of Mondays tie. Failing that work your way up the rankings at home.

[IberianHibernian]

Anyone at home please. Old firm will probably be in Europe the Thursday before the game, so maybe a good time to get them
Think all 4 games are on TVGood point about OF after Europe ( hoping that helps us in league v Celtic ) but are either likely to get through to that round . Celtic might beat norwegian team bur rangers are unlikely to beat Dortmund ( not sure if they drop into Conference ) . Semis also after European matches .

[Dashing Bob S]

Bring em all on...

[Libby Hibby]

Hertz at Home please, they are pony

[bingo70]

Everyone saying a home fixture but I wonder if we might be a better team away from home.

[lord bunberry]

Home tie against anyone but Hearts

You must be joking? I’d much rather play hearts over the ugly sisters.

[Tommy75]

Home tie against anyone but Hearts

This the same Hearts who got beat of Dundee at home, horsed by Rangers and just scraped past Livingston that you're scared of?

[Bobby's Cinema]

If a team gets to the Scottish Cup final and faces either celtic/ rangers/ hearts, do they automatically get the European group stage spot? Or do they need to win it otherwise it goes to the third place team

[Paulie Walnuts]

If a team gets to the Scottish Cup final and faces either celtic/ rangers/ hearts, do they automatically get the European group stage spot? Or do they need to win it otherwise it goes to the third place team

Need to win it.

If the winner of the cup has already qualified for Europe then the cup slot goes to third, third place goes to fourth and fourth goes to fifth.

Cup winning spot is the best one.

[IberianHibernian]

If a team gets to the Scottish Cup final and faces either celtic/ rangers/ hearts, do they automatically get the European group stage spot? Or do they need to win it otherwise it goes to the third place teamCup winner gets play off for Europa League ( which means groups of Conference at worst ) unless already qualified for Champions League ( first 2 in league this year ) . If cup is won by team lower than 3rd then 3rd will go into Conference ( can`t remember at what stage ) . No Europe for losing final .

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

If the Old Filth draw each other, then every other side is in with a shout of the final.

[hibbysam]

If the Old Filth draw each other, then every other side is in with a shout of the final.

Wishful thinking - wasn’t the last time they met before a semi final over a decade ago (maybe 10/11)? And the time before that was 04/05.

[Jones28]

Bring on the gunts

[Greencore]

Hearts at home please.

[LunasBoots]

Hearts at home

[Borderhibbie76]

Literally anyone at home, od argue best chance of beating either half of the uglies is pre Hampden at ER

[JamesHFC]

I’m predicting three derbies and Well v St Mirren.

[IberianHibernian]

I’m predicting three derbies and Well v St Mirren.Would take that . Home or away to Hearts no big difference . Only 1 of OF to beat to win cup after .

[JamesHFC]

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Peterhead or Dundee at home. Interesting to note that the teams already through sit 1-7 in the Premiership table.

[Hibby70]

Hibs v Hearts
Celtic v Rangers
Dundee v Dun Utd
St Mirren v Motherwell

Premier Sports would show the old firm game one day and a repeat the following.

[Carheenlea]

With our impressive cup record of getting to semis/finals in recent years Hibs will be in be club that others will be hoping to avoid in tonights draw.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Hibs v Hearts
Celtic v Rangers
Dundee v Dun Utd
St Mirren v Motherwell

That draw wouldn't be a bad shout for Scottish football.

All on TV with 3 1/2 derbies and setting up some tasty semis.

[.Sean.]

We must be due Celtic away at some point

[Since452]

Hoping for Peterhead at home. Will no doubt get Rangers or Celtic away. Quite fancy another 5/6k of us at Ibrox to be fair. What a day that was. Yet another 0-3.

[Fifehibee1960]

At home to the weakest team would be great…. If not home tie would do but we really need to start turning up and keep the goals coming

[Sir David Gray]

Peterhead or Dundee at home please.

[hibbysam]

It was last season.

Website never had last years games, terrible that I forgot that one. So seems around once every 10 years.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Cheers thought that. The deeper we go in the cup keeps things interesting.

[Nicho87]

Always want the lowest ranked team on offer. It’s the best way to win a cup. Get to the final anything can happen. Old firm getting drawn together would be good.

Anyone at home bar the old firm would do.

[PolmontHibby]

Celtc/Sevco drawn against each other, and a home tie against any of the others would do me

[Billy Whizz]

Is Rod doing the draw tonight?

[blackpoolhibs]

[Billy Whizz]

Is the draw after tonights game? Or are they randomly throwing it in before/half time?

After the game, could be quite late if this goes to extra time

[JohnMcM]

A reasonable prediction looks like this:

Hotball 1 v St Mirren
Dundee v Hotball 2
Motherwell v Hibs
Hearts v D Utd.

[Glory Lurker]

Difficult one to choose who I want to win tonight. Peterhead winning is only a good thing if we get drawn against them, although that would be the ideal draw. As others have said, provided we avoid the Glasgow teams is the main thing, I suppose.

Maybe so but have a look at the league table.

Hearts at home


No ta, we've had our fingers burned too many times in that fixture. Either of the Dundee teams would be good.

I have a bad feeling we will end up at Ibrox.

[Hermit Crab]

Glasgow derby
Edinburgh derby
Dundee derby

Take it from there

[seanshow]

Weve had a few games at ibrox pre semi stage
But when was the last away cup tie at celtic.

....Thinking being we are entitled to something like 20% of the tickets at their grounds, instead of being squashed into the corners.

away from home :( winnable of course

[hibbysam]

What an away crowd that’s going to be I tell you.

[Hibby70]

Celtic and Rangers both away is a surprise

[cabbageandribs1875]

i've made the SF draw


Hibs v St Mirren

Tough away draw, but a fifty-fifty game. It should be a good cup tie.

[GreenCastle]

Excited for that !

Should be a sell out and good atmosphere !

[Northernhibee]

That’s decent.

[LunasBoots]

OK with that, avoided the OF is the main thing, 50/50 chance of a result I think

12/13 March.

[Stevie Reid]

12 and 13 March

[Sir David Gray]

We have to be happy with that - any time you avoid Celtic or Rangers you have to be happy.

[HH81]

12th and 13th March.

[wookie70]

Decent draw. Every chance of going through and a nice big stand for us to all fit in.

[weecounty hibby]

I only go to a handful of away games per season but will definitely be going to that one. Decent draw I think, definitely winnable

[Mikey_1875]

That’s a cracking cup tie. Atmosphere was brilliant there first game of the season and we should take a good crowd through

[Stevie Reid]

Decent draw for us, can’t really complain. Very good one for Hearts

[Sean1875]

Would have preferred a home tie but happy to have avoided the old firm, great chance to get back to Hampden again.

[HH81]

Anyone know the TV times for the games?

[cabbageandribs1875]

i noticed a big part of the away stand at fir park was empty for the game v sellick recently, obviously something to do with the away players having to use part of that stand but they must have lost out on a loady £££ with all those empty seats

[GreenCastle]

Will Motherwell still make the away team change in that stand / not sell a full block and a bit of seats ?

Surely they can change in main stand ?

[Pagan Hibernia]

Didn’t get the uglies, didn’t get hearts.

not bad.

[JamesHFC]

Are all four games on TV?

[SteveHFC]

away stand holds just under 5k so shouldn't be a scramble for tickets

[Hermit Crab]

Thats stand holds 5000, even with the block of seats closed off it's still over 4000 tickets for us. Thats plenty.

[JimBHibees]

Agree decent draw think we win that tie

[JamesHFC]

Hopefully we get the whole stand. I’m confident we will sell out 4,500 tickets for this one.

Yes us and Hearts will be on BBC and Celtic and Rangers will be on Premier.

[JGS56]

I think all the ties are televised.
The weegies on premier, the other 2 on BBC.

[Carheenlea]

Should be a cracking cup tie and one to look forward to.

Yes, it’s a pity that a few sections of lower tier are out of use for the visitors changing, but should still see a decent allocation.

[Stanton Spence]

Got to be happy with that draw especially when the last 3 balls in the pot where us the huns and Motherwell.

[Hermit Crab]

We failed to come close to telling out yesterday. This game will be on tv as well. Doubt we will sell out.

I've been there a few times recently photographing games. Away players come out from the bottom left corner so much be nearly 1000 seats not used. Total madness when social distancing isn't required any more and other clubs have stopped it. Must be costing them a good few quid

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Decent draw. I am guessing that Motherwell will be quite pleased too.

[hibee-boys]

Hopefully it’s not a stupid kick off time and we can enjoy a cup away day.

Exactly. It will be tough at Fir Park, but it's a good draw at this stage.

We’ll sell that stand out. Quarter final, easy place to get to. Hopefully a reasonable kick off time.

Our QF against Motherwell last year was Saturday at 5pm, there were 2 other QFs on the Sunday and then last one was Monday night. All on telly.

yep, i was going to take a guess at 900 :greengrin have a feeling it's probably even less than that though

900 x avg £26= 23,400, i do understand the whole block being empty though, just a lot of cash to lose out on

[GreenCastle]

Eh?

To get changed ?

Motherwell were doing work on changing rooms - not sure if covid related anymore.

[Babyshamble]

Why does the away team have to use the away stand?

Surely you've answered your own question there 🤔

[hibbysam]

If rangers and Celtic win in Europe they’ll play the midweek before, and both Dundee sides can’t be at home the same day. Could be a headache for the schedulers.

[K-Zazu]

[EdinMike]

Surely they won’t have both OF teams on the same day all decending on Dundee that’s for certain.

[IberianHibernian]

Celtic and Rangers could be in Europe on Thursday so one will play on Sunday and other on Monday I suppose . No rugby on Saturday at Murrayfield so Hearts could play then .
Likewise us .
Not a bad draw . We were better team in recent league game at Motherwell . On current form I`d expect St Mirren to beat Hearts but still 4 weeks to go . Would expect both Dundee clubs to lose but OF will be vulnerable if playing in Europe on Thursday before .

[hibby6270]

Ah.noticed the sheep did the same on Saturday. Must be to do with covid restrictions?

[JamesHFC]

Last season, Premier Sports had Saturday evening and Sunday evening slots for the Quarter Finals. BBC had Sunday afternoon and Monday evening.

If that’s the same this time round then I’d imagine Celtic and Rangers will be Saturday evening/Sunday evening. It will be toss up between us and Hearts for the Sunday afternoon/Monday evening slot if that’s still the case.

I highly expect Rangers will be knocked out by Dortmund so they will probably get the Saturday spot.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Surely they won’t have both OF teams on the same day all decending on Dundee that’s for certain.

Nae chance, there would be nothing left of the city.

It’s far from a tough draw and we have every chance of winning ….. which we will. A tough draw might have been a game against Celtic or Rangers, home or away or a game away to Hearts. Very happy with that, thank you.

They will know whether Rangers and Celtic will qualify or not next Thursday which gives plenty of time before the Quarter Final games are played. I expect we will hear when these fixtures be played after those European games next week.

[hibbysam]

Possibly, not sure Premier would fancy a Monday night game but they won’t have a choice, although the chances of rangers winning against Dortmund are slim (not sure when confirmation of TV dates will need to be made).

First game of the season there was an amazing atmosphere brilliant backing from the hibbys that day even if to say it’s a silly kick off time and live on tv we must surely take a big support not far to travel not much excuse for not going one of my favorite grounds and will be an excellent atmosphere canny wait :flag:

Who cares about the presentation of the draw? It's the outcome of the draw that matters. I only cared about the numbers that came out, not how they came out.

[Hibernia&Alba]

They'll be thinking the same, tbf.

Aye, it's a fifty-fifty tie, which is far better than going to Ibrox or Parkhead.

[Glory Lurker]

First dibs to the STs who deigned to go to the Cove game, yeah? ;-)

[Hibbyradge]

Indeedy.

It's a game I almost wish I was watching as a neutral!

[TelaStella]

It makes the Scottish game look amateurish.

Aye? In a few weeks time after all ties have been played tell us how amateur it is. It’s a cup draw for the tele, bit of a laugh isn’t such a bad thing and hardly amateur. Canny stand comments like this.

Great draw for Hibs. Fancy us to beat them more than if we were at home to them :aok:

Agreed, at home we seem to play like we're under more pressure and away we play with a bit of something, not a bad thing at all.

[May21/05/216]

Just looked it up. 17000 at fir park. 25000+ at ER for the replay. 16000 at Ibrox for the 2nd replay.
Crowds we can only dream about now!!
BTW - my crazy days are far behind me now. LOLI was at those games

Think Hibs will do well with a huge vocal away support behind them. Fancy us away from home more than at ER.

Bit of a laugh is great.

This guy was one of those folk who think they're funny so they constantly crack jokes, and none of them are.

Tried too hard and was just nippy. I had to mute him and watch the draw on silent.

[heretoday]

Decent draw all round but couldn’t believe how amateurish the presentation was. A really pathetic showing.

Another in a long line of comical performances. Be grateful the actual draw was completed. We don't do these things well.

[SHODAN]

Been to Motherwell twice and seen 19 goals (6-6 and 3-4), might head along to this one.

[hibby6270]

Was at the 3 games but there was never 16k at the 2nd replay surely. We were rattling about in the stadium.
In saying that, I thought it was played at Hampden 😄

I wasn’t at the 2nd replay. Fitbastats site has a footnote saying it was played at Ibrox. That’s usually the “bible” for most historical Hibs info. :greengrin
Either way we still got beat. :rolleyes:

I can't see both games being on the Sunday in Dundee.

If they both get through their European ties then I think one of them will play on the Monday.

I can’t either, unless one was at 12noon and the other in the evening

[Hiber-nation]

It was painful. If nothing else the boy has proved to folk like me who had never seen him before that he is a complete erse and to be avoided.

If being able to have a bit of a laugh is the benchmark for cup draws well I give up.

[Sir David Gray]

I think that idea would get swiftly knocked back by the police. There might be more chance if the two grounds were more spaced out but having Rangers and Celtic fans coming to two grounds which are 200 yards apart is a recipe for disaster in my opinion.

Even if one of the games kicked off at noon and the other at night, there's still going to be fans of whichever one kicks off at night arriving several hours early for a drink.

We haven't lost an away cup tie for four years. No pressure.

Rangers will get beat from Dortmund

[loanheadhibby]

It’s far from a tough draw and we have every chance of winning ….. which we will. A tough draw might have been a game against Celtic or Rangers, home or away or a game away to Hearts. Very happy with that, thank you.
Wow you don't think it's a tough draw?

We've been to motherwell twice this season.

Won once, drawn once.

We've also played them at home and not lost to them.

[hibbysam]

That’s my point, it’s hardly embarrassing our National game when nobody outwith our game watched the thing. A poster pointed to rod Stewart’s draw, however that’s still hailed to this day as hilarious in all media. Don’t think that embarrassed us at all.

[JamesHFC]

Why not?

Last season the Quarter Final scheduled fixtures were announced just 5 days before our match against Motherwell.

If they wait until after the 2nd leg of the European ties next week there will still be over two weeks before this seasons Quarter Final. Plenty of time to shift tickets etc.

Last year was a bit different in that due to the shortened timescales for the Cup there was only 6 days between our game away to Stranraer in the previous round (18 April) and the quarter final (24 April), so there couldn't have been an announcement much earlier. It won't be as close to the games this year before the times and dates are announced.

Nah, it was pure cringe, up there with a drunk Rod Stewart doing the draw and Delia's cooking sherry induced halftime rant.

[Northernhibee]

That whole podcast is absolutely unwatchable. Used to be good when it was the boy from Peterhead interviewing people in the game and not hogging the attention but the desperate attempts from McAvennie, Slane, Kevin Kyle and himself to push forward their pish Glasgow patter is absolutely tiresome.

Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kevin De Bruyne could all sign for Hibs and their first discussion and half the podcast would be about Rangers or Celtic.

I’m just pointing out that if they are able to sort everything out in 5/6 days then there won’t be any problems with 2 weeks notice.

There shouldn't be, you're right. I suppose the other difference last year was that there were no fans so late announcements wouldn't really inconvenience folk in the same way. But two weeks is more than enough time for anyone who wants to go to make plans.

Not if you need to take a day off work.

[plhibs]

Only thing I remember that day was the result AND was it the game that a dart was thrown from the Well fans and embedded in the head of one our fans?

I was at that game before i moved to Canada, pretty horrifying to see that guy getting taken out of the crowd.

[G15 Hibs]

Not if you need to take a day off work.

Ok, anyone who wants to go to make plans except those who have to give two weeks plus notice for a day off work or who have an operation scheduled for that weekend or those who have qualified for the 2022 Turkish Snooker Masters. Any better?

Yep the supposed banter is horrific. Si Ferry a very good interviewer and should get back to that without trying to help his mates out with giving them attention for no apparent reason.

Presume we must be waiting to see what old firm teams are still in Europe, before telling us when we play?

Looks that way. I’d guess that if one of them get knocked out then they’ll be Saturday evening with the other on the Sunday afternoon and one of the BBC games on Monday night with the other Sat/Sun lunchtime. That seems most likely now as I don’t see Celtic getting through

[Wheat Hound]

St Mirren V Hearts Satutday 12th March 745pm kick off. Not sure why no other game dates confirmed yet?

Just after I’ve sent that, the Hearts v St Mirren game has been confirmed as the Saturday at 7:45, so ours must be about to be announced too

I was speaking to a customer of mine today, who lives in Arbroath
He was saying the Sunday lunchtime KO hit the trade in the town, rather than a Saturday or a later Sunday KO
Seemingly Arbroath got £24k from tv, but the bars in the town didn’t benefit from a big Hibs support due to no trains, and the early KO
Football is become too convenient for tv viewers, and not for the fans

To be honest I couldn't care less if the bars didn't benefit. The fewer inadequates who need alcohol to fuel their support pi$$ heads at the game the better.

Getting a supporters bus and having a few drinks, soaking up the atmosphere makes the cup away days that bit more special I feel. I’m sure it would have been a cracking day out if we had the Saturday evening fixture. Will now drive through for this game and hopefully go out for a celebratory drinks when back in Edinburgh.
