jbee647 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 One of my earliest memories in 1977following Hearts as a 13yo 5-3 defeat to a Andy Ritchie and Mark McGhee led Morton Carnage on the terracing, My abiding memory being a Morton skinhead resplendent with crombie DMs and braces trying to face up Hearts fans and this old guy chucked a full cup of boiling bovril in his face..

Doc Rob Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 3 hours ago, Shooter McGavin said: Was hoping either Old Firm would be away to Killie or playing each other Here’s the thing. We would all love to win the Cup, but that’s an outside chance in any given year, and unless we screw up royally we will finish 3rd. Assuming we do, we want that to be good enough for guaranteed ECL football, which will only happen if the Cup is won by us or one of the arsecheeks. So it’s actually in our interest for them both to make the semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not any more, but there was a lengthy period in the 80s/90s where they were never drawn against each other at the SF stage. Happened far too often for it to be entirely down to chance.

If that's the case I would suspect that was down to the "luck of the draw". I don't think for one minute that in my lifetime (I'm 53) the draws have been rigged. Each to their own though.

I don't think for one minute that in my lifetime (I'm 53) the draws have been rigged. Each to their own though. There was a marked change when we moved from behind-closed-doors cup draws at Park Gardens to live televised draws. I’ve mentioned this before, but there was a very good sports journalist called Sandy Sutherland who had a weekly piece in one of the Sundays called “Sutherland’s Statistical Sidelines” in which he drew attention to anomalous sports statistics. One week he examined the probability of Rangers and Celtic avoiding each other in cup semi-finals as frequently as they had done in, I guess, the post-war years through to the advent of televised draws. The odds he came up with were either in the tens or hundreds of thousands to one against, I can’t remember which. In other words, the draws were fixed.
