So looking at fixtures. Celtic and Rangers both could be in the Europa league so could both be playing league fixtures on the sunday.

BT have 3 fixtures to show from this round. Likely BT will want both on TV so they will be on the Wednesday and Thursday.

Rangers are already scheduled to play on the next Sunday vs Livingston and Celtic have a Saturday 3pm game at home they will be lobbying not to give up.

So lock in Rangers vs Ayr on Thursday and St Johnstone vs Celtic on Wednesday.

Hibs vs Aberdeen is probably better than Hearts vs Motherwell so

Hibs vs Aberdeen on Tuesday and Hearts vs Motherwell not on TV on the Wednesday.

Although more of a toss up if Ross County win today.

Aye, Hibs v Aberdeen and St Johnstone v Selkick will surely be the two TV games.

Should mean a relatively good crowd at Tynecastle.

BT Sport will show Rangers v Ayr United guarenteed,  there is a clause in the league TV rights that they arent able to show live matches from CP or Ibrox (think its to ensure SKY have sole rights to the OF fixtures) so they always, regardless of the opposition show them at home in the league cup, im in agreement with you that Hibs v Aberdeen or even Hearts v Motherwell would be better games to watch but id bet my right arm on Easter Road and Tynecastle being snubbed for live TV.

 

Edit....just noticed they have three live games so one of the Edinburgh ties will be on, id imagine Hibs, if they beat Ross County will be the one
