Looks like you could predict the winner of every tie except the Livi one. But cup surprises happen... the Fakes and RC last round - hopefully us + Airdrie or ICT. We need to be starting again like the start of the season. Get goal scorers and "assisters" in ASAP. I can't see it being a full house. Plus we have to give them 40% of the gate receipts. It's a terrible draw, IMHO. I'm really disappointed. If we were playing like we did at the start of the season I'd have said we'd have a decent chance. Now progression is very unlikely. Sorry to do an @elvis, but I really hoped for an away trip to Ayr or Morton, or a home tie against Bonnyrigg or Brora/Cove. There were 40,000 at Parkhead today, at least if we got them there we'd have got a decent pay day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Ayr too, but unlikely as it is, there is one possible really good outcome for us - if we win. It should still add 6 figures to our income though even if we fail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the hope that kills you, though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely as a club we are beyond the stage of rather having the arse cheeks at their middens in the cups for a pay day ? I think most folk are disappointed with the draw but for me that is purely from a progression point of view as this is one of only two competitions we can realistically have thoughts of winning. If we have to get either cheek this early then it must at least be better to get them at home in my eyes. A slice of the bigot pound is very "Morton" (and you can understand why) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slice of the bigot pound is very "Morton" (and you can understand why) I agree, although i guess getting a few quid in softens the blow of having to go to Ibrox or Parkhead. I wasn't doing somersaults at the draw, but we're good at home and we've given Celtic a game almost every time we've faced them over the past couple or seasons. They're, of course, heavy favourites but we can get a result against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Worst draw for the cup we could have gotten. Against a team we wouldn't be expecting to beat, and with the way the gate receipts or TV money are worked out it's hardly a bumper pay day to offset any lack of possible progress. At least if it was an away draw we would get both more money and no need to cater for their fans. What's more, we lose our loan player for the game. If Celtic had to pick who they'd play, they'd want a premiership team (thus no part time bar worker snapping their million pound player's legs) and if it's away they'd want one with a decent surface. While we might be 5th in the league, I genuinely feel they will be pretty happy with the draw, even with it being away. It is what it is, and as Mowbray knows, we can pull the odd upset, but literally any other draw would have been better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZingaliMan Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The fact we are home we have a chance if the players are up for it. Beat Celtic I think our name might just be on that cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen us beat Celtic in the cup at home a no d Hampden. We also beat a strong Rangers at home in the cup. Cups are different to league games players know it's a chance of glory in a one off game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Obviously not the draw any of us would have picked, but we certainly have an outside chance. With doing away with the replays it makes the home draw much more of an advantage. Let's hope we can at least make a game of it and not be two goals down inside the first six minutes, like we were a few weeks ago. 0-0 AET Saints to win 3-1 on pens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Youre better playing Celtic or Rangers at home in an earlier round than at Hampden. If you want to win a trophy youll likely have to beat one of them at some point. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to win a trophy youll likely have to beat one of them at some point. We’ve actually between Celtic on two famous occasions in semi finals to win both the league and Scottish cup. BTW when will you learn how to use apostrophes. We should have beaten Rangers twice in semi finals in both tournaments in the 80’s but referee corruption was at its peak to protect them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston_bud Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 We beat Celtic at home in the cup in 2009 (I think). We're a far better team now, although so are Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tam the bud Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 We only had 3000 home fans against Queens on a Sat at 3pm. Since Visplay will pick our game, it will be a rotten kick off time so I don't see many more buds paying £20 plus turning up. Children prices will be high as well so I don't expect many family's in the south stand. Hoping for a 12-30 k/o but likely be a late Sat or Sunday k/o. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure the Celtic team now is better than the one in 2009. I would agree our side is better now. The week before this tie we lost 7-0 at Parkhead in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
