    Scottish League Cup - TV

    Am I right in thinking that the BBC have selected Inverness v Ross County instead of Celtic v Hearts as the televised game?

    That must be a first. Fair play to them.

    Why fair play?

    If you asked me the tie of the round and the game I would want to watch on TV, would be Hearts v Celtic!!

    The BBC only picked the game tonight because their slot is Tuesday and with Celtic playing Dundee United on Sunday, neither could play on the Tuesday. The BBC have the rights, they could at least pick the best game and put it on regardless of Bake Off or whatever networked programme is taking priority on Wednesday.

    We always moan about Celtic and Rangers away games being Sky (and now BT's) first pick so I guess that's what he means by "fair play".

    I think I'd prefer to watch a local derby that's rarely on TV, than Hearts v Celtic again.

    2nd point is where I am.

    Had it been Celtic v Hearts on tonight it's doubtful I'd have watched it. I'll tune into the Highland Derby, I may give up if it's rubbish but I'll give it a go. I wouldn't do the same for the other game.

    Because United and Celtic played Sunday so no way would both ours and Hearts game be on same night (tomorrow) given the opposition so ours was moved to next week.

    Sorry have to disagree Hearts v Celtic has far more appeal for me.

    The only reason they are showing the Highland derby is because the The Rangers got humped in the last round and they can't show them.

    Celtc don't take this cup seriously, so why we would want to give them the platform to show that escapes me

    I mentioned this to a jambo yesterday and replied that if it was the big cup there would've been a sell out. I pointed out that in the past 2 seasons in the big cup the attendance(with a full away end) has been 12600 last year and a bumper 10600 the year before. They're scared of Celtic FACT.

    United we stand here....

    Let's not get carried away with the praise here, the only reason the Hearts v Celtic game isn't on TV is because the TV slot was Tuesday night. Celtic couldn't play Tuesday night as they had to play the previous Sunday (due to playing the previous Thursday etc etc). Had either the game been able to be played on Tuesday or the TV slot been available on Wednesday, there's absolutely no doubt they'd have chosen Hearts v Celtic.

    Highland Derby has as much appeal to it as watching a Sunday league game. Much rather Hearts v Celtic and laugh at them getting horsed.

    I'll just try find a stream tomorrow.

    Pretty good atmosphere so far, very loud drum and singing from County for most of the 1st half

    I know I've made this point before so I'm sorry if I come across like a stuck record but it really is a joke that it takes five days after the semi final line up has been completed for the draw to be made.

    The draw should either be next Wednesday night straight after our match has finished or next Thursday at the latest.

    Given that there are games tonight, tomorrow night, and next week. The Monday after that makes any sense really..... so the teams that go through tonight will have to wait the best part of 2 weeks. The Scottish football authorities really know how to add an extra layer of suspense.



    I'm sure this might have been answered elsewhere, but is there any reason our game's next week, and the rest are this week? Is it just SPFL logic, or is there an actual reason?

    My pet Hearts fan tells me he's not going to the Celtic match because he's not worrying about the wee cup but wants to concentrate on winning the league.He's serious too.

    They can't/won't play 2 games in Edinburgh on the same night, and as Celtic and Dundee United played on Sunday, tonight wasn't an option for one of them, if it was we would be playing just now.
    Think it suits us to have a free week before we play Rangers, biggest game of the season for us.
