Kilmarnock v Rangers, for the right to face Dumbarton (or Dundee)


Recommended Posts

Provisional arrangements are as follows:

Rugby Park, Kilmarnock on Tuesday 16th February 2016 with a 1945 kick-off. The match will NOT be televised.

Tickets to go on sale for season ticket holders until Wednesday 9th February at 1700. After that, tickets will be available to all Kilmarnock fans provided they sign a document stating they are Kilmarnock supporters.

Rangers fans will be allocated the Chadwick Stand initially, and should that sell out then the Moffat Stand will be opened and made available. In the unlikely scenario where Rangers sell out both stands, a small section of the Frank Beattie will be made available to away supporters unless it has already been sold to Kilmarnock fans.

Ticket prices to be confirmed tonight or tomorrow morning.

Would have been able to televise it if they had arranged it for this week.

Don't know who's to blame for that (assuming both clubs are happy for it to be on TV)?

Given the extra policing, ticketing arrangements and such like it would have been too short notice to make it this week. Plus, I think the TV money was 90k previously? So maybe the clubs are thinking that an extra few thousand on the gate would be more beneficial than being on the tele?

Firstly, RP holds 18k, surely Rangers will be given an allocation to satisfy their requirement.

Secondly, WTF :lol:? What next. Swearing oaths? Random quiz on "The History of Kilmarnock FC"?

On the first count ...whenever we do that we're accused of " sucking the OF boaby " and the sevconians hordes agenda changes daily , like their board , so who knows if there is a boycott afoot?

On the second count .....we have a plan .....to sell the names and addresses to an Indian call centre

After consultation with fans, the club have confirmed that this will no longer be the case.

ETA - the club are now in discussions with Police Scotland and it looks like Rangers fans will be held in the stadium for fifteen minutes post-match, allowing Kilmarnock fans to leave the area and not be put at risk.

Will be glorious when The Rangers are humiliated by our Kilmarnock friends after getting their wee hopes up.

Kick to Killie!!!

Dont be hideous, Killie are utterly dreadful. We just didn't have our shooting boots on, we'll put that righ in the replay though.

Put at risk! Whit in the name of the wee man are they expecting to happen?

If I go I'll be in the home end anyway so no fifteen minute wait for me.

With draws against Cowdenbeath, Kilmarnock and Dundee/Dumbarton at Ibrox, Rangers have certainly had more difficult ties en route to a Scottish Cup semi final. Would be very disappointing if Rangers were to fail to get there.

Not that these are easy games, as Kilmarnock have proven at the weekend but lets be honest Rangers should be clear favourites against any of these teams, particularly at Ibrox.

Part of Killie's success on Saturday came from a high-press that forced Rangers' creative players into rushing their final ball. I lost count of the amount of passes Zelalem in particular put into the box only for the Killie defence to shepherd it to MacDonald or out of play.

Kilmarnock were defensive out of necessity (i.e. we don't even have a manager) and carried out that game-plan very well. Of course we rode our luck at times, but so did Rangers. If Magennis' header is a few inches lower, Obadeyi's shot slightly to the left or had Slater's effort not hit Foderingham in the head then we could have taken more than a draw from Saturday. But that's football.

We drew with Celtic in Glasgow by playing defensively, and got a deserved draw with them at home by playing counter attacking football. Celtic are far better than Rangers so there's no reason why we can't do the same and go through. It certainly isn't as clear cut as guys like you are making out.
