    If it's still played at Hampden and they actually did decide that Hibs ST holders in Glasgow would be able to attend, then I'd be in line to get a ticket.

    However, I think that would be ridiculous and I'd much rather it was moved to somewhere that there was a much lower health risk, and that tickets were made available to people that really do deserve it, rather than just because they happen to live near the stadium.

    Having fans at the Scottish Cup final is now "at risk" due to Glasgow remaining in Level 3 Covid-19 restrictions, says Scotland's national clinical director Professor Jason Leitch.

    What a complete shambles

    Following the science though, fans one day, no fans the next. I’m sure this ‘spike’ has caught them by surprise over night 😂 no the Scottish governments fault though.

    Can really see 600 fans all sat about half a mile apart in a 52,000 seater stadium really bringing the NHS to its knees 😂

    Honestly think this government has completely lost grip of reality on this one.

    It was a well intentioned idea but in my opinion the final should be played as the rest of the season has been played with no fans in the stadium. Concentrate on getting covid down to level 0 for next season. It’s all getting a bit silly now.

    I’ve no idea what’s going on in Scottish Football just now
    Edinburgh city thought they would be allowed fans for the play off game on Monday night v Dumbarton. But based on requirements for social distancing, fans not allowed back in

    However Morton v Airdrie next Friday, 500 home fans are allowed in

    Got to agree with you on this. 600 fans rattling around an outdoor 52 000 seater stadium poses zero threat to health. Getting very silly now.

    What are we allowed at level 0 again? A dozen fans maybe? Maybe allow us 20 if we get down on our knees and really beg like good boys.

    Hibs and st Johnstone should just tell them to shove their tickets up their arse.

    Dinnae be daft, folk need something to moan about.

    Had there been no attempt to get fans in the sfa would be the target. They asked, got an answer that folk weren't happy with, then the uber fans came out of the woodwork saying they deserved to be there more than others.

    If only the government had said, Glasgow is looking a bit bad no fans can get to the final.

    Where will the 52,000 people who would have been at the game going instead?

    Pubs and house parties which are far riskier venues.

    It’s absolute madness.

    Totally agree with you bingo. 600 fans in a 52 000 seater stadia poses zero risk to public health.

    The only part of Hampden available is the lower south stand.

    A maximum 8000 capacity, and with 2m separation that worked out at 600 fans.

    It's been a whole load of hassle for something that will please a relatively small number of people and antagonise many many more, for all sorts of reasons.

    The whole season has been played out in front of no fans. I know it's a cup final, I know we'd all like to be in attendance and I know there's something good about even getting a handful of fans in but it just all feels a bit daft right now.

    We've been in a global pandemic, one that we're all desperate to come out of. Chuck in a spike in Glasgow and having to accommodate the Euros as well as the fact that the lower leagues halted a few months ago and I've got a fair bit of sympathy for the authorities here, who it appears cannot win.

    Wasn't aware of that. Puts it into a different context. Still, for the Scottish Cup final both the sfa and government should have ensured a different scenario. I'd still rather it was played at Hampden fans or no fans if Murrayfield is not available.

    Play it at another ground with fans. Get it sorted Petrie.

    This article suggests we should have been looking at 4000/5000 with 2m distancing in place, and not the paltry figure of 600.

    Scottish Cup final: Hibs v St Johnstone at Hampden will be watched by 600 fans.

    This is an absolute shambles, I feel for the families of the players and staff from both teams who would already have thought they were getting to see the game.

    I think it is immaterial now as, according to the Scottish Government's own guidelines, there will now be no fans present should Glasgow remain in Level 3.

    All supporters attending would have to get a negative covid test before the game too I assume.

    The bottom of the article clearly explains why the 600 figure was arrived at.

    Is it confirmed now that there will be no fans at Hampden?

    I am sure there will be more than 600 Rangers fans some of who will have travelled from outside Glasgow outside Ibrox tomorrow. Be interesting to see how that is handled by the police. Unless there is a dramatic change in cases in Glasgow it looks like no fans. How many Hibs or St Johnstone fans would have been travelling through Pollockshields or Easterhouse going to the match?

    PS noticed Toryglen on list of postcodes.

    No. All speculation, or moaning, depending on your point of view. 😁

    When did you start talking sense!!?? I agree with you to be honest. 600 was a bit of a joke and we haven't played any games with fans this season so far. Folk are getting all worked up because they want to be offended at something. Get back to normality for next season and I'll be happy. 3rd in the league and in a cup final, don't want any if the jinx fans in anyway!!

    Unlikely they will move it as the SFA blazers who have to be there will probably all live in Glasgow and cannot travel out under level 3 rules and the chances of getting another venue at this stage is probably a non starter
