Why wouldn't they be able to play on the Saturday?Quote:

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.Quote:

Didn’t Hibs play ICT at this stage four years back?
I can’t recall what happened after!
Yep, no chance of police allowing Hibs, Hearts and Rangers in the same city on the same day.Quote:

What weekend are these ties scheduled to be played?
Wasn't there a big fuss about Hearts v Rangers and Celtic v Aberdeen playing on the same day with similar kick offs in Glasgow, which eventually got moved.Quote:

What was the big semi final day not long ago? Didn’t we have Hearts, Celtic, Rangers and maybe Aberdeen in the same city same day?Quote:

Because they were played in two different parts of the country.Quote:

Best draw possible. We really have had a fair bit of luck with these over the last few years, long may it continue! Big opportunity for a trip to Hampden.
With recent history between Hibs and Rangers as well as the rivalry between us and Hearts I just can't see both games being played on the same day. But we shall see.Quote:

No I got the flippantness in your post, I'm sure that's exactly what they'll come out with. I just don't think they'll have any grounds for complaining if they're asked to play Wednesday and Saturday.Quote:
