That's a shocker they are playing Thursday night before a 1215 on the Saturday

Rangers v Celtic 4pm Kick off on a Saturday. Surely setting a precedent :greengrin:take that
To be fairer Stranraer probably thought they would have been beaten in the last round by the team that defeated the most Famousest Team in the Land.
It was probably a surprise to find out they were actually pish & they consequently have an extra cup game on their hands. At least they will get some TV money.
I'll happily take it because it means Hibs are likely to have a fairly easy game but I do feel sorry for the teams in the lower divisions.
Still, GG.
Noticed Stranraer lost to Elgin last night. Another three games to play before next Saturday
Stranraer lost to our derby rivals today.
State funeral 3pm Saturday for auld bawbag. Footie off does anyone think?
Maybe, but it’s only circumstance that is preventing a full blown state funeral that’s clear. You said yourself on the moved thread that he’s a head of state, and it’s still his funeral after all.
There was a precedent with his daughter in law, we didn’t get football that day and she was a Joe ordinary. Commoner as some like to say.
Obviously the Queen will have her funeral at 3pm on a Saturday as well, it’s what they do. Hope it’s close season though.
The media are creating a scenario of everyone being devastated by his death. I am getting on in years and hold no respect for a privileged family who are above the law, outdated and most of all undemocratic. No issue showing the funeral etc but let the rest of us get on with our lives including watching Hibs next Saturday.
This is what the ‘statement’ says. What makes you confident?
In light of confirmation that the funeral of HRH Prince Philip will take place next Saturday at 3pm, we have entered dialogue with the relevant stakeholders with regard to Scottish Cup Fourth Round fixtures scheduled on that day.
We will update participating clubs, supporters and partners in due course.
