Anything less than 10 on Saturday and the honeymoon period is over for Thelin.

Technically Rangers are at Hampden...

Which poses the question - if Rangers' temporary stay there becomes long term, where does the semi & final get played if Rangers make it that far?

In 1994, Celtic played their home games at Hampden. Both the semi (v Aberdeen) and final (v Raith) were played at Ibrox so that Celtic didn't get an advantage (the Scottish Cup final did get played at Hampden, which was criticised). 

Should Aberdeen draw a Rangers in the semi at the start of November, we would have every right to demand it's at Murrayfield.

 Doesn't matter where they are actually playing, they had yet another home draw!  As regards your final point the SFA will respond with hahahahaha and lower our allocation for being frivolous .

Not to mention the two goal handicap, guaranteed reds for Shinnie & Ruby and the 93rd minute offside goal or penalty for them.

In short, we'll possibly be up against it

Only draw back with that is Murrayfield is being used that weekend for Autumn test against Fiji. 
 

However do agree that Hampden shouldn’t be used if Huns make semi finals and the cunts are still playing there.

Steady...that's septic fans you are thinking about!

Was listening to the draw, Richard Gordon announced Aberdeen v Celtic at first.

"Sorry, my producer is having a joke at my expense. It's Aberdeen v The Spartans."

Definitely prefer the corrected version!

Called it on the match thread after yesterday afternoon's game, although did later change it to hoping we got the Huns on account of them probably being an easier proposition

Reminds me of '14 when we got a series of draws against "inferior" opposition...so DU in the semi and Sevco in the final to continue the sequence?

Producer should be sacked on the spot for subjecting my child to my tantrum at us drawing Celtic.

Was clearly a joke, Celtic would never be drawn away

[Reekie_Red]

I'm surprised Celtic haven't called a redraw cos they didn't get Spartans

"Up to 19,000 tickets" for the semi. In truth that's 17,500 plus any unsold debentures.

We'll probably take 14,000, which is our standard semi-final sales when doing well, and a good haul imo.

I tend to think (hope) law of averages mean if we keep playing Celtic at Hampden we're bound to win one eventually. This is our ninth game at Hampden against them in 14 years.
