Hearts - Rangers replay date announced

[ABZHFC]

Quarter final replay for them due to be Wednesday the 4th of March if the two sides draw on Saturday. Which would mean the derby getting postponed at 3 days notice... Perplexing. I always wish for a draw when those two play each other, but I don’t think I can this time round

Would love a replay in that case - I'm struggling to make it for Tuesday so if it was shifted it would be a bonus from a purely selfish point of view.

[HibeeHibernian4]

This could be a disaster. Hoping whatever happens on Saturday that one team wins on the day.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Who organises this ****.

- national team declined fixture workaround before the biggest game for Scotland in years
- rangers now struggling to complete their fixtures prior to the top6 split
- a sell out derby game potentially being rescheduled 2 days prior
- 8 games in 24 days prior to the winter break
- 8 games in 24 days after the winter break
- 3/4 weeks at a time without a game at ER over September/ October/ November with national team fixtures

shambles.

Cup gets priority

Hearts are going to be knackered if that happens. Our match on the Tuesday is a contracted TV match already moved at their insistence. Although SFA have announced it the SPFL has not acknowledged it. Time to scrap the winter break

[Billy Whizz]

It’s ridiculous that the information about our replay, is given out on the day of the game

Agreed, I can only guess that it was dependent on Rangers’ progress in the Europa League

[Gloucester Hibs]

Make Hearts play 2 games in 2 days. If it’s good enough for Liverpool.. 😈

[The 90+2]

Get them pumped huns plz.

In what way? I honestly don't see the problem with the timing of the announcement.

[Waxy]

Time to bin the winter break. Schedule more midweek games early in the season.

Most people will have made plans to attend the game already and it's pretty short notice if it's cancelled on Saturday night...

The criticism was about information regarding our replay, not Hearts/Huns.

[ABZHFC]

I assume as well, for a derby that has been scheduled to be on the Tuesday night for TV since late November, quite a few fans will have made travel plans from long distances.

It’s a shame, but like people have said the winter break really doesn’t help. Hope it gets scrapped soon

[calumhibee1]

Thank god for the winter break.

[hfc rd]

Hope Rangers pump them tomorrow

I’ve taken a half day off work. I’ll be raging if this happens.

I hope they beat rangers.

Would love hearts in the next round.

All because Rangers have no more free midweeks, so the SFA pandering to the Huns as per usual

Honestly hope Hearts pump they ****s the morn

Also UEFA’s greed at fault here to be fair, they’re holding a monopoly over available midweeks at this point of the season. It’s already made England scrap their replays for their FA Cup’s quarter final

[southern hibby]

So if we draw tonight when do we have a replay?

Realistically, Rangers should win 5-1 on Saturday.

Looks like Hearts have quite a few tickets left unsold for the derby too.

Cup gets priority

In what world is that the correct stance to take apart from our joke of a setup where it is a pissing contest between 2 of the most inept organisations in world football. Its time the fans were made priority.

[500miles]

Given Hearts have to rearrange the st Mirren game too, the more upheaval, the more likely they are to get relegated.

Come on the draw.
