Scottish Cup Quarter Final Draw - Hibs v Rangers

[Billy Whizz]

The draw for the last 8 is on Sportscene around 4.30pm or so today
By the time of the draw we’ll know who 7 of the teams will be
Aberdeen
Airdrie/Hearts
Greenock Morton
Hibernian
Kilmarnock
Livingston
Rangers
St Mirren/Celtic

Hopefully after 2 away draws, we’ll get a home tie
Ties to be played around the weekend of 9th March

[Carheenlea]

After two good away outings the hope has to be for a home tie, particularly at this stage of the tournament with who’s left.

[HendoDelivered]

Livi or Morton at ER 👍🏼

[B.H.F.C]

Airdrie or Morton at home please.

[Carheenlea]

Airdrie or Morton at home please.

The draw takes place before the Airdrie v Hearts bigot fest.

Drawing “the winners of Airdrie v Hearts” would be far from ideal given how strong favourites Hearts will be to get through, but there’s a part of me thinking that Airdrie are winning this today.

Get them at home. Show no fear. **** them.

[Dr What If?]

Optimism for our chances in the tin pot is scarily starting to grow in me. Form has been terrible but we have recruited quality in the numbers that has given us depth over the window. Its still a month until the QF's are played, that gives the new boys time to bed in and together with some long term injured players coming back I think we are going to end the season strongly. My one caveat is the officials, its got so bad that a part of me genuinely believes we won't be allowed to beat any of the other four larger sides.
Yes, Celtic still smarts, we won but by SPFL rules Celtic still get the points.

[flash]

Would rather play Hertz next round than at Hampden considering we have never beaten them there.

The fact that Monty has seen the light with our formation leaves me feeling the same. If we get a decent draw today we could very much go all the way to the final. Also feeling optimistic.

[HibeeDaz6270]

St Mirren to beat celtic
Rangers to get Kilmarmock at Rugby Park
Hibs v morton or livi at home

Seems fair

[Alex Trager]

I was saying on the bus yesterday I would absolutely love to get Hearts in the final.

If we beat them we would take the groups. We would have beaten them at Hampden. Not to mention we’d have another Scottish cup.

I realised after that if they won, they would also have another SC which would worry me.

On reflection I say, give us a go at Hearts in the final please.

Ideally, I’d prefer to play Airdrie though.

I think Celtic will go out today.

[Hibernian Verse]

If Celtic go out today you want Aberdeen at home to Rangers

[Hibeesdaft16]

Good call, if not you of course want them drawn together. The only downside to that is having to read about seat allocation **** for the next month.

I know what it won’t be… and that’s the two cold balls against each other !

(I shall check back in several hours time if I’m wrong…)

Are away fans either way not entitled to a certain percentage in Cup games?

[Hibeesdaft16]

I think so yeah, it won't stop endless debate about it though.

[McD]

Are away fans either way not entitled to a certain percentage in Cup games?



I think it’s usually 15% is what’s in the competition rules, however most clubs tend be sensible about it. For us, we usually give over the full south stand, which is a bit more than 15%, but it makes it easier for segregation.

When we played rangers in the cup and won 3-0 under Mowbray, they gave us a full end stand as well.

This carry on with rangers and Celtic tickets for old firm games is another example of them making the league look a shambles, just to spite each other (whilst the governing bodies stand back and do nothing!)

Yeah we got the same at Ibrox under Mixu too, their goalie got sent off I'm sure when we were clean through on goal and we lost the replay, thought Mixu was going to knock out Walter Smith that game.

Sure there was another time in the cup we drew rangers too, after a 0-0 *****fest down at Stranraer but I don't think we took the whole stand for that game, sure it was under Williamson and the draw was on the bus on the way back.

It’s 20% allocation for the away club
Potentially could get more if you’re drawn away to the likes of Livvi
Last season games were played Friday to Monday. We’re away to Ross County on Wednesday 13th, so we’re unlikely to be the Monday

[Bobby's Cinema]

It feels like we very rarely draw the OF before semi final stage - and it also feels like St Mirren draw them every year. Anyone below us in the league home or away will be a good draw.

[Donegal Hibby]

St Mirren to beat celtic
Rangers to get Kilmarmock at Rugby Park
Hibs v morton or livi at home

That's what I'm hoping for as well or if the yams get thru they get sevco at tiny . Always want the easiest possible draw for us and a home one too :aok:

Morton or Livi please.

Wouldn't mind Morton away as I absolutely love Cappielow but I accept that becomes a very tricky tie. Absolutely want Livi at home.

It would (obviously) be a tough tie but the thought of us filling 75% or more of the stand behind the goals at Ibrox again is pretty appealing as well.

[PatHead]

Every time we play them at Hampden is an away tie.

May as well beat them in the Quarter Final. A tough one but not impossible. Home advantage is crucial.

Us and Hearts have actually been drawn together fewer times than the OF have.

[Ronniekirk]

Hardest tie of the round but bring it on

[Up-the-slope]

TV money? have to beat the OF some point

[Callum_62]

Home tie - about the worst we we could've gotten

Most likely we would have to beat one of the OF to win it anyway so may as well make it the quarter finals [emoji6]

Got to beat one of the old firm along the way if you’re going to win it. Toughest tie we could have got but if we can go on a wee run between now and then then we can go into with a lot more confidence than the last time we played them at ER.

[IberianHibernian]

On the Sunday I suppose. Rangers in Europe on Thursday and us at Dingwall midweek after

No one is just going to hand us this cup ffs.. We are at home, there should not be an empty seat and as Hibs we should be drowning those dirty sectarian bar stewards out. Hopefully the stadium security is tight and there’s none of them squeezing 2 folk inti the away end on 1 ticket. #GGTTH 💚

Kick off will have a big bearing. Evening kick off will have a far different feel for us having a go than a quiet noon Sunday morning.

Agree. Away we’d have filled a big chunk of the Broomloan. At home, at 30 odd quid, you’ll be lucky if 10k Hibs fans bother. That said, we should still have a better chance at home.

Why do you prefer Sevco in Govan.

A 4-0 defeat at Ibrox and 0-3 at ER
Monty needs to get his tactics spot on for this one

[He's here!]

Should be a brilliant tie. No question we are more than capable of winning on our day especially with some of the quality we have brought in.

No question? When did we last beat them?

[Hibees1973]

If our ultimate target is to win the cup and get guaranteed European football until Christmas this is a good draw.

The Yam have 3rd place basically sewn up. To trump them and get this European bounty we need to win the cup and to get one of the main rivals (the sticky buns) at home and remove them gives us the best chance.

We won the cup the hard way in 2016. Knocked out the Yam after being drawn away, beat the holders Inverness away and Rangers at Hampden.

Will have to be the same this year.

It's not impossible.

[B.H.F.C]

The game at ER was a funny one. On one hand we were pish and just let them stroll around. On the other hand, we’d had some really good chances. One to go in front, one to go level, one to get back to 2-1. Taking one of them would totally change things, similar to what happened against Celtic when we got the goal.

I’d much rather have avoided them but it’s not impossible.

[Billy Whizz]

Last season all 4 games were on TV. You’d have thought Viaplay/Premier will take Hibs v Rangers and Celtic v Livingston
The other 2 probably on BBC

[LunasBoots]

No question? When did we last beat them?

In a cup game i think was the last time, our performances against them have not been very good, Hopefully we get a win against them but with Rangers going for a treble i cant see it being allowed

[Pretty Boy]

Why do you prefer Sevco in Govan.

It's a ***** draw anywhere.

For me though if we took close to the numbers we have taken in our last 2 Scottish Cup visits there then the players would run out and see a stand 75-80% full with 5000+ Hibs fans in attendance. At Easter Road it will be a full Rangers end and gaps all over the Hibs end (people will argue otherwise but it will 100% be the case, look at the crowd when we played Celtic in the SC under Heckingbottom).

Aside from that I think we have given a better account of ourselves in Glasgow v Rangers recently than we have at ER. Not so much this season but the last couple before that.

[Donegal Hibby]

That would make a pleasant change.

Normally most teams are on the receiving end to the old firm though there is the odd time when teams pull of a shock against them like the 2-2 at ER last season.We are massive underdogs though at home with a packed ER you never know ! .

I’m always an optimist Hibs supporter. Rangers were far from great against Ayr yesterday, so we have an opportunity
The match at Ibrox we were very poor

Wonder if the club will look to put the singing section in the FF lower for this game. Was it the European ties we did this at the start of the season?

If Hibs could at all find it within themselves to pitch this at a max £25-28 quid that would make a notable difference.

Extra time and pens. Which increases your chances as you don’t actually need to win the game as such.

Looking for positives, hopefully they’ll have had the runaround on the Thursday night. It’s a last 16 tie so they’re going to be playing a decent team.

Id pay 50 quid for a seat, to have it played with no crowd. Hate the games with the Lanliq twins. Or whatever their current choice of get drunk quick muck is.

[B.H.F.C]

Look at the empty spaces in the stands for the recent game against them, when season tickets were valid. We won’t sell it out. Hopefully we get some positive results between now and the game to help with the attendance.

[LunasBoots]

If it was a league game we wouldnt sell out, a one off cup game is different and we'll sell it out easily.

Morton at Easter road would’ve been a great tie

If we can play anything like we played the last 2 games, then we have nothing to fear off Rangers, it took 2 dodgy pens for Celtic to beat us and by the time we play Rangers the new players will be further up to speed and will have gelled some more.

If we don’t sell out three stands for this game I’ll be surprised

Prepare to be surprised.

I don't think we'll see more than 10k shifted.

It's sad to say, but too many folk have written off these fixtures due to a mixture of ***** performances, rampant sectarianism, corrupt officials, poor atmosphere in the home end, cost and the game inevitably being on TV.

Just cannot see any scenario where we sell 16k tickets for this I'm afraid.

[MikeyS]

If Collum did his job properly yesterday, Silva & Goldson should be suspended for the cup tie with us.

He absolutely sh@t it with the Silva one! Stood still for a good second or 2 before deciding what to do!

Aye there's a fair bit bluster in that post you've replied too!

I reckon Rangers is a tougher game than Celtic.. I think the Huns will win the league this year. Something just not clicking witb Rodgers at Celtic this year.

Both the old firm are as poor as I’ve seen them in years. Rangers aren’t anything to be feared and if to be honest it’ll be them that fear us simply because we’re so hot & cold especially with all the new players.

It’s a Hibs win for me 🤞🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

[Lancs Harp]

I'll take it. A home tie.

Youre probably going to have to beat Celtic or Rangers at some point to win the cup, at least we've got one of them at home. We've got a chance especially if we apply ourselves like we did against Celtic the other night.

Its a huge game at ER. Sad to see so many hibs fans come on here and write us off so soon, before a ball has even been kicked. I'm buzzing for it already. I love these big games.

It’s about time we won a big match against one of the OF. Bring it on.

[JimBHibees]

No question? When did we last beat them?

Last time we played them in the cup. One of our current players scored a hat trick we have signed some quality players. I will think we have a chance you will think we should shut the club down or appoint Levein as manager.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

10% I think, so 2,000 not 3,500. But no point mentioning it as Hibs just want the money.


It's definitely 20%, so Hibs have no say in the matter.

Can we request the game to be played at hampden? Would fancy us more there than at home.

Nah, when it comes to Hibs, it's completely empty.

I'm confident that we won't come near winning the tie. I'd love to be wrong but I've seen absolutely nothing from hibs to suggest we'll beat them.

There's absolutely nothing to suggest Rangers are "beatable" either. They're probably the best team in the league on current form. In addition, they'll have the ref on their side.

Looks as if the players that have come in during the window have already improved the team, the manager less rigid, Cadden back. There's definitely scope for optimism going forward. Its a one off cup tie at home, with a chance to knock rangers out. Bring it on.

[marinello59]

Got to beat one of the old firm along the way if you’re going to win it. Toughest tie we could have got but if we can go on a wee run between now and then then we can go into with a lot more confidence than the last time we played them at ER.

Police wont allow it on safety grounds, we just have to focus on selling our tickets and getting a good run of results leading up to the game to get a bit of confidence going into it. With there European game we have a good chance to beat them if we can show the same tempo as we did against Celtic.

[one day maybe...]

Mason Hancock has had a solid performance against them
tonight. Aged 20 worth a punt (thoughts) couldn’t break into the Aberdeen team last year. Perhaps hungry to kick start his career

[gbhibby]

Plenty of Frasers from Dad's Army on here.

[VoltaireHibs]

Tough draw, possibly the worst, but that Rangers team aren't unbeatable. But we could be doing with having a bit of serious momentum going into the game. Hopefully everyone up to speed by that point.

[bod]

Glad we’re at home
, hopefully the new lads will be a bit match sharper & we win

[Carheenlea]

Stand out tie of the Quarters.

A tough tie but could have been worse. Full house at Easter Road, electric atmosphere, Cup history to form the narrative, Hibs underdogs so a chance to raise the game and get those disco lights on and SOL at the end.

A rip-snorter of a tie.

I’m no convinced there will be a full house but like the sound of the rest of it.

I’d rather have avoided Rangers, obviously, but it’s a big game and no way should we just be writing it off. Accept we’ve been garbage this season but a Scottish Cup tie at home to that lot is something to get up for when it comes round.

[LewysGot2]

It's not the worst draw possible. That was probably away to either Ugly Sister. Some decent results before the end of February might help us. Them getting a runaround first leg in Europe but still in their tie would help too. They're not invincible and we need to believe that ourselves

Reckon, injury permitting, we’re not far away from settling on a team.

Back four of the last two games will be the back four. It’ll be Moriah-Welsh, Newell plus one. Front three might change at times but I’d be surprised if it didn’t become Boyle, Maolida and Youan over the next few weeks.

We didn’t sell out the Scottish Cup game at home to Hearts last season. We were terrible at the time which was a contributing factor. But when folk expect you to lose, it’s difficult to shift 16,000 tickets. That will apply to this game unless there is a big upturn in form.

I’ve always thought that if you’re going to win the thing then you need to beat either or both along the way… and a home game in the quarter finals is probably the best chance to do so.

So I’m not unhappy with the draw. A few weeks to get a few bits ironed out and go hell for leather.

Mind you, I guess as far as Sportsound and Sportscene go it’ll be the tie of the round. Both Aberdeen and Kilmarnock are huge favourites and receive a lot of fanfare from both outlets, Sportsound in particular.

This Hibs team isn't going to win the cup, so might as well have a decent tie or two to look forward to and little bigger than the Huns at home.

Attendance for the quarter final against Celtic early in Heckys tenure was 15,700. Would probably expect similar for this one.
