ToqueJambo Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It would make sense. Aberdeen and one of the Glasgow teams has to travel anyhow, so why make another support travel needlessly. This is the SPFL/SFA though so I wouldn't be surprised if Aberdeen-Rangers is played there, needlessly inconveniencing 15,000 or so Hearts fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dazajmbo Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 No chance. Would be seen as an unfair disadvantage to the best team in the world apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Shark Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Just now, TheStig said: Celtic would never allow that to happen Correct. Rangers v Aberdeen at Celtic Park. One 12 o'clock kick off the other 5pm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smartin1987 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hampden regardless of day and time and easier for celtic to get to so why would they change it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghkjambo Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Knowing the way Rangers have been helped out at every opportunity, we’ll probably play Celtic at Ibrox with a hefty fee paid for the hosting of the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CloustonHMFC Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Reckon we’ll be pumped to Hampden however that would be a logistical nightmare with around 25k Rangers fans coming the other way at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jambomuzz Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It could be that rangers play the saturday as they are at home in Europe, and have Celtic on the Sunday as they are away in Germany midweek.

Locky Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hibs refused Murrayfield in 2012 on the basis we 'knew' Murrayfield. Celtic can't really say that as they played 2 qualifying ties there in 2014. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobNox Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Celtic have a bigger support than Rangers. Hearts have a bigger support than Aberdeen. The only sensible option would be Hearts v Celtic at Murrayfiled, which has a significantly higher capacity then Hampden. It'll never happen though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rangers and Aberdeen fans all arriving/leaving in Edinburgh while Hearts fans are trying to get out of Edinburgh ? 3 sets of fans travelling. The right thing is for Rangers to be in Glasgow and Hearts to be in Edinburgh. Only 2 sets of fans travelling to different cities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one thing that is sure that what is simplest for the supporters - particularly us and Andersen - will be the last thing on the minds of the SPFL suits and the TV people.

larbert_jambo Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 The easiest way would be us at Murrayfield and the Rangers tie at Hampden. Only really one set of fans travelling as Aberdeen would need to travel regardless. How they split the games time wise on the Sunday will be dictated by TV. It's the SFA so it's the flip of a Green coin as to what they decide to do... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
