No chance it gets moved. 

 

Teams can be a victim of their own European success. That's football. 

 

Deal with it. Well done to them and hope they reach the final and actually win it just for the sheer bitterness that would come from celtic and Tom English etc... 

 

Plus they'd be knackered for the Scottish cup final.

What’s wrong with Tom English?

Estra time loss is probably best for us. Puts extra pressure on their fitness levels and reduces morale.

Yip.

Their game before the SC Final will be against us at Tynecastle.

Which will probably mean Beaton as ref and he will allow the rangers players to break as many Hearts players legs as possible before the final.

On the contrary. It will probably be lowest profile non contact game you’ve ever seen. Players who go in hard to hurt people often come off worse themselves. 
 

Hibs on Saturday is one of the few games I can remember where one entire team were sent out to injure the key players on another team under the guise of ‘playing on the edge’

Hibs v Celtic in 2013 was, as far as I know, the only cup final with a crowd that was played on a Sunday. UEFA tried to force through a rule that meant no other game could be played at all on the same day as the CL Final. 
Thankfully this stupid idea only lasted one year. Definitely a Saturday this season, no matter what The Rangers do in Europe.

There was one game when rangers came to Tynecastle in the 14-15 championship season, they definitely came to injure on that occasion

Let’s be clear here. There is no danger whatever we’re agreeing to a Sunday cup final and we would HAVE to agree. It wasn’t that long ago Rangers refused to move a fixture to accommodate us. Can’t remember the detail but I think it was related to Europe. 
 

If we get asked (we won’t be) and we say yes (we won’t) we might as well just hand them the cup and pull the shutters down.

Absolutely with you, Jimmy!

Rangers made us play at Ibrox on the Saturday after a European Thursday night game, so absolutely - **** them!  
 

As you say though, no chance this will happen.

I don't think any of this is going to work in our favour.  I think Leipzig will knock them out and Celtic will beat them at parkhead next week.

 

I could be wrong of course and I hope I am.  I want every game to be a cup final for them.

The final can't be moved to the Sunday as we have a parade on an open top bus planned for that day

I'm led to believe that starting from the City Chambers is a no-no this year with Easter Road as an alternative being given the green light.

The upside of all that is they’ve had 2 major psychological downs and they’ve still had more games theyve needed to play at full pelt. Winning the cup for them is not much more than a consolation prize. For us it’s the one game left that we need to put our absolute all into. Absolutely no pressure on us whatsoever. A free hit in some ways. 
 

They are better than us but they’ve been pretty ordinary at times when they’ve let their levels drop. If they do that in the cup final, assuming we have a strong enough team we can put out, we’re winning this.

Would be amusing to see Celtic fans face if Rangers won the bloody thing and took there automatic Champions league spot.

He's mostly okay with regards to hearts. However he hates rangers to his core and also seems to despise the Scottish Rugby team to a creepy stalker degree. 

 

My dislike for him isn't based on anything hearts related.

A trophy that has not been won since 2009 , you are having a laugh .
