I’ve spent too much of it watching us against hearts at hampden 😁Quote:

Bit of a ****ter tbh but we were always likely going to have to beat at least one of the cheeks to win the thing, at least it’s at home.
4 games televised each round.Quote:

We will fill the other three sides

Yes. One minor positiveQuote:

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.
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.Quote:

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
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 allowedQuote:

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.
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 ! .Quote:

So if we draw with them over 90 minutes does it then go to extra time and penalties or a replay???
GGTTH
Greenock v Airdrieonians should be a decent tie. Hopefully we'll get he winner in the next round.
Extra timeQuote:

Great tie for us if you ask me.
There’s no easy games for us these days and when we’re expected to win, you know what happens!
Home tie against a Rangers side that are beatable if we can play like we did against Celtic.
Looking forward to it. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
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.
It’s not a great tie 🤣🤣🤣Quote:

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

Rangers would need to agree though.Quote:

On paper maybe but in reality there’s no problem getting the players hyped for Rangers!Quote:

I think it isn't inconceivable that they'll win the treble tbhQuote:

Prepare to be surprised.Quote:

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

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.

We’ve got 5 games before the cup tie. Surely all our new or injured players should be fully match fitQuote:

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.Quote:

We might lose but let’s surely get right behind the club what’s the point of the negativity. Believe.

Any chance of it being on Sunday, fly to lanzarote on the Saturday 😩
Will definitely be the Sunday.Quote:

Rangers are beatable. We’ve improved since those games you’ve mentioned. We’ve got five games between now and then to get our new players match fit.
I’m quietly confident we can give them a fright.

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.Quote:

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.Quote:
