Scottish Cup 4th Round General Discussion & 5th Round Draw - Hamilton v Rangers (8th Feb, KO TBA)

[The Janny]

If folk think hamilton are a problem. plastic pitch and all then we shouldn't be thinking about 55.
We are too strong for the rest.
Imo.

 

[Bullseye4]

Happy with the draw, only worry is injuries on the plastic pitch

 

[AvochBlue]

The pitch is the concern with that draw. Hopefully through with no injuries

 

[justbrowsing]

Just boring same ol’ same ol’. Play Accies often enough anyway.

Who did you want to play?

 

[justbrowsing]

Who did you want to play?

Wouldn’t have minded the likes of the non league Glasgow team we’ve never played before

 

[MelbourneBear]

Bet Ryan Kent fancies that draw.

 

[Tucker7]

The pitch is the concern with that draw. Hopefully through with no injuries

Exactly what I said last thing we need out of this draw is injuries not really happy with the draw but we will still win it’s the injuries that bother me as they will chop us to bits to win that game

 

[Braeside58]

Good enough draw.
I think the gaffer will be fairly happy with it.

 

[stevenma]

Can only be Saturday or Sunday

Another Sunday game then. Bheasts will play on Saturday.

 

[huistra23]

Would have preferred a home game. Plus another game on a plastic pitch. Oh well, I'm sure we'll get a good result and a home tie in the next round.

Strangely, I'd take them at Ibrox in the next round.looks like we'll have to beat them at some stage to win the trophy,so let's make it at home

 

[Malcolm Tucker 37]

Home tie would have been nice but should win it

Have Rangers and Celic ever met in the 4th or 5th rounds of the cup?

Loads of times!

 

[GwRFC1992]

Decent draw. Should be a comfortable win. Shame about having to play on plastic though

 

[The Modfather]

No reason to fear anyone. Where 'er we go, we fear no foe!

 

[Blt]

Was hoping for a home match

 

[tartan_penguin]

Hopefully Adrian Sprott aint playing

 

[larrymac]

Easily winnable tie

 

[two_n_six]

Happy with an away draw as I'm offshore so should see the match on TV now instead of a stream

 

[Texas ranger]

Hopefully Adrian Sprott aint playing

That game, to this day, is the most depressing game I’ve attended. I know it shouldn’t be, we’ve had much more significant defeats. But as much as I tell myself that, for some reason it really sticks with me.

 

[tartan_penguin]

Yeah

That game, to this day, is the most depressing game I’ve attended. I know it shouldn’t be, we’ve had much more significant defeats. But as much as I tell myself that, for some reason it really sticks with me.

I remember it vividly as well. Made all the worse by Chris Woods getting his record in the first half. Think it was just over the 30 minute mark.

 

[kenikinif]

decent enough draw apart from the surface,the filth fans can have recurring nightmares thinking about du wei

 

[penilee57]

I always thought it was:
Dundee before Hamilton

 

[BUDDA76]

Could have got worse draw, imagine. Fair. Few. Tickets. In ticket section nearer the game and also at the buses on the day.

 

[Sapien]

Likely a frustrating game that we'll get through. Not a great stadium or pitch.

 

[gersVids]

Plastic pitch! Argh

Should get through it fine mind u

 

[kingstonbluenose]

Happy with that draw.

 

[SJwatp]

Fancy 8 away wins and then pump Dundee utd or hibs in the QF

 

[hendo1969]

Was really hoping for a home tie to organise hospitality for the old man

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Who did you want to play?

An easy home tie ala BSC or Clyde. Rest players, give youth another go, play on a proper pitch.

We've got a tough away tie on a horrible pitch in-between a tough run of games, two away matches on plastic pitches in a matter of days.

But, if you want to be Champions and win trophies then you win no matter the opposition or playing surface.

 

[cyl1690]

Again, getting through without any injuries on plastic is the main concern.

 

[Stephenj5]

Good draw however the players having to play on the plastic pitch concerns me.

 

[Gazza's Dentist]

Would've preferred a home tie but we should breeze past Hamilton, plastic pitch or not.

 

[rinofan]

If folk think hamilton are a problem. plastic pitch and all then we shouldn't be thinking about 55.
We are too strong for the rest.
Imo.

For me it's more the possibility of injuries in the pitch

 

[djgarymc]

Good Draw, would always take a home tie but in this case we are strong enough.

 

[GB4ME]

Happy enough with the draw. Frustrating we need to play 2 away games on plastic pitches within 3-4 days of each other.

 

[DerekTheElephant]

Happy with the draw. As others have mentioned, the main concern is the plastic pitch.

 

[Allymcswally]

Rather a home tie of course, but this shouldn't pose us any problems (other than potential injuries).

 

[cvfbman]

Happy with the tie and fingers crossed the team come through that week with no injuries to report.

 

[charliebrown 185]

Would have preferred a home draw but should get through

 

[The Huguenot]

Good draw for us and there should be no excuses. Four all premier league games. Falkirk/Arbroath will fancy their chances against tarts. Hopefully, the Edinburgh and Dundee mentally challenged replay will go to extra time and penalties with lots of red and yellow cards.

 

[BF79]

Would have preferred to avoid another game on a plastic pitch but other than that it should be an easy enough tie to get through

 

[JN271]

Would have preferred a home tie.

 

[Withambear]

No doubt our game get moved for tv. Hope it’s Sunday rather than Friday night

 

[PaulGascoigne8]

Would have preferred to avoid another game on a plastic pitch but other than that it should be an easy enough tie to get through

Basically what he said

 

[Pedros_pocket]

All in all. Not a bad draw. Onwards Rangers.

 

[craigieboy75]

good draw should get through

 

[blairbear]

Do Premier have the TV rights for the whole competition?

 

[dh1963]

Might be on Saturday tea time, like the Thistle v Celtic tie was.
