that draw has worked out well for us, hearts v rangers as well
Home to Inverness
That will do nicely 👍🏽
Geggenpressing all the way to the vomitorium, I think.
Great draw all round!
The Huns will fear going back to the PBS!
Right!!😂
Hearts v Huns. Good way to get rid of one horrible club.
Well I’m guessing Hearts Rangers will be a Sunday tele game. Good draw all round !
Can't argue with that.
Lower league team at home, Hearts and Rangers will both not fancy their tie much. Celtic v Rangers would have been slightly preferable but that's being greedy.
Trying to remember what happened the last time we faced ICT in the sixth round. My memory fails me...
:flag:
This will be our best Scottish Cup win ever.
Hearts beat the Rangers in the quarterfinals, then squeeze past Celtic in the replay after penalties only to get pumped by us in the final. GGTTH
Our turn to say it now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, PLEASING!
Easiest draw of the tie AND at home, ya beauty!!!
We beat Inverness in the quarter in 2016....🤪🥳
Hearts will get papped out by Rangers on their revenge mission, that's a nap!
As good as we could have hoped for but let's be honest it will still be tricky.
Good draw
Am I first to remind everyone what happened last time we played ICT in the quarters? :greengrin
Inverness wont be easy. But we should win and should be at hampden again.
Excellent draw. Great opportunity to book a semi trip to Hampden.
One to look forward to, and hopefully we can build up a bit of steam in the weeks before the ICT tie with some good form and a few wins.
Semi final almost guaranteed.
Hopefully against Motherwell or Aberdeen.
Double the pie order, it's Fat Robbo!
:yw:
When is it?
Inverness at home in the QF, shades of 2016 about this. Hope we can beat them at the first attempt this time round:flag:
Also should be noted that hearts face a tough, tiring game v rangers at tynie which will be the sunday due to the huns in europe and then play us. Although its scheduled for the 3rd im not sure if it will be moved now.
Draw has been very kind to us
they also done the semi/final draw
hibs v st.mirren
st.johnstone v sevco
and the final is....
hibs v st.johnstone
sorted
Thanks Rod, 😉
Should get through v ICT easily enough, hopefully it’s on the Saturday
This is about as spawny as Hearts route to the final last season 😂
Inverness have 3 ex hearts players and ex hearts manager and player Robbo who would love to beat us!
Also Keatings (can you count him as 4th ex jambo!) - but cup winning legend !
Plus they just knocked out Livi !
Going to be tough but glad we are at home - incentive of semi and the added ££ that comes with that.
Only 3 games are televised i think? So one of either us or motherwell/killie/st.mirren/sheep botherers will be BBC
I've just realised Rangers' Europa League match is on the Wednesday so our game v Hearts might be ok. I'm assuming Hearts v Rangers will be the Saturday game.
Imagine the outcry when they are made to play Saturday lunchtime after playing away in Portugal on the Wednesday night.
Some of the comments are cringeworthy to say the least.
Yes it's a good draw but they will be no pushover and we can't take the tie lightly.
They've been playing well and will fancy their chances against our dodgy defence.
That's why I used almost :wink:.
Looking at it logically, Dundee Utd were pretty dreadful in both matches with only their finishing saving their ass.
Inverness currently trail Dundee Utd by 17 points in the Championship so must be comparatively poor.
Hibs at home with Docherty added to the midfield since the Utd game should be more than enough especially if he is the midfield with Omeonga, Newell & Allan and has McNulty, Doidge & Boyle up front. 3-1.
Fantastic draw. Can't take anything for granted but playing 3 lower league sides to get to Hampden is about as much as you could ask for.
So likely scenario:
Friday- Hibs v Inverness
Saturday- Hearts v Rangers & the other tie.
Sunday- St Johnstone v Celtic
??
I don’t think there are any alternatives. Either Hibs or Hearts will need to be moved. Hearts can’t play the Friday as The Rangers play in Europe on the Wednesday. Neither team can play the Sunday as the derby is on the Tuesday. The logical thing would be Hibs on the Friday night, Hearts on the Saturday
You could play Hearts v Sevco at noon and our game at 7pm. The fixtures would be sufficiently far apart I can't see the police having an issue with that.
We won’t play the Sunday because the derby is on the Tuesday. Hearts won’t play the Friday because The Rangers play the Wednesday before. Would be surprised if the police let us play the same day.
If Hibs said they can’t play the Friday because there is a dinner planned, I think they’d be told to get on with it.
Only seen ICT once this season on Alba, they humped Morton 5-0 in Inverness, but Morton were worse than hertz that day. They seem to be a bit inconsistent. We should win this tie though, Dundee Its are by far and away the best team in that league and we handled them well.
friday game under the floodlights, yes please
Why wouldn't they be able to play on the Saturday?
I'm assuming they'll fly home from Portugal on the Thursday morning and they'll back home by lunchtime. It's only a couple of hours in a plane from northern Portugal and they're even in the same timezone as the UK. There's plenty of time for them to get home and prepare for Hearts on the Saturday.
Couldn't have hoped for a better draw
Not really relevant I don’t think, we still need to play on the Friday or Saturday irrespective of whether we’re on TV or not.
Playing on the Saturday comes down to the police allowing it. I know folk are saying it’s happened before but it’s rare. And don’t think it’ll have involved The Rangers being a visiting team as well.
Didn’t Hibs play ICT at this stage four years back?
I can’t recall what happened after!
Why can't Rangers and Hearts play at midday on Saturday and we can play in the evening? Similar to the kick off times for yesterday's games. Pain in the erse for ICT fans but that would apply to a Friday night games as well.
What weekend are these ties scheduled to be played?
Inverness fans not getting thought about? Imagine the reaction if we were asked to go to Inverness/Ross county/Aberdeen on a Friday night? Bad enough the reaction about the potential to move the Aberdeen game to Saturday night.
I'm sick of Hampden. If we beat ICT hopefully it's played at Murrayfield
