Inverness v Hibs is quite literally shouting 'Friday 7:45pm kick-off on BBC Scotland'. 

We play Celtic on the Wednesday so it will be Saturday 12:15pm.

Aye, I'm wondering if those Wednesday games are too late to move now?

If it's possible, I wouldn't be astonished to see a move to Tuesday. Assuming your game is on tv? If so, it may be St Johnstone Hearts getting shunted forward for the Scottish Cup Friday slot to come into play?

I’m thinking the Caley v Hibs game for tv purely as I don’t think they would pick Aberdeen and Hearts for tv games two rounds in a row.

This is cultural appropriation, and I will not stand for it. 

Can't wait to go back to the scene of the playoff final. Great draw for both teams, not sure we can compete with a team with such a big budget though!

BBC have had games on Monday nights before - assuming Viaplay have first pick of slots as well as games and want the weekend kick offs can the BBC show Sat lunchtime then Monday night?

Airdrie v Hearts and Morton v Motherwell look decent picks to me but I think ICT V Hibs will be the second game which at least means Cappilow should see a reasonable crowd in for a good chance of an upset.

Aye. Given the BBC's policy these days seems to be purely chasing views, I reckon Hearts and Hibs ties look likely picks. That would probably mean a Monday night for someone, given the midweek fixtures in the Premiership on the 7th.

For the BBC, Airdrie v Hearts seems certain, and I think they’ll probably go with ICT v Hibs as their second pick. 

Although Morton v Motherwell feels like an ideal Friday night game.

Might be wrong here but I think there are 4 TV slots at this stage of the competition. Friday night, Saturday lunchtime or evening, Sunday afternoon, and Monday night, which was the case last season.

Viaplay get first pick so they usually get the Saturday and Sunday slots along with the Old Firm, so BBC get the Friday and Monday slots. Most likely TV picks are Inverness v Hibs, Airdrie vs Hearts, and Aberdeen v Bonnyrigg for the BBC
