I expect us to be able to put out a stronger squad than if it was a midweek game as will have a full week to recover after it. I'm sure we'll rotate a bit though.

Why does the Rangers game being away and the Celtic one at home make a difference? Both will be played behind closed doors. Those two were always going to be selected. Given Hearts and Hibs have both been on TV already in the competition and the St Mirren v Aberdeen game is all Premier, it is hardly a surprise choice either.

Och, just cos it's shite when they show the OF at home. Even allowing for the absence of fans it's still a huge ask for Ross County to win at CP.

On the plus side, as someone mentioned, no pay per view revenue for that game. Not only Celtic, but Ross County also missing out on a nice earner. Can't say I'm sorry about that.

Glamorgan Jambo Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I do realise that we'll get a cut of the PPV revenues from this match but I'll be giving this one a miss as Alloa will get their costs and their cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Jambo Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 As with the first round, the SPFL say any team "unable or unwilling" to field a team will forfeit the match on the basis of a 3-0 defeat and if both teams in a tie do not fulfil the fixture, lots will be drawn to decide who progresses to the quarter-finals. SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster commented: "Given the fact that the fixture calendar this season is the tightest in living memory, we have had to take unprecedented steps to ensure that the Betfred Cup matches have definitive results based on the original fixture dates." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54988377 Does this mean that if a fixture is postponed due to the weather it will be decided on lots? That would be a hilarious way for Celtic to go out. Get drawn away in the quarters to a team who then has a waterlogged pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
