Correct replays were scrapped this season to ease fixture congestion hopefully made permanent from next season

Yes, I heard on the radio that UEFA would be taking the stadium under their control after any games on 8 May.

Yeah UEFA want I think it is 4 clear weeks before the 1st game to ensure the stadium and pitch is to their standard

Does William Hill still sponsor the Scottish Cup or did that end at the end of last season?

I believe there is no sponsor this year.

Ended last season

Don't think there is any drama tbh. The cup only interferes with 2 league dates with free midweeks either side. Maybe if we get to the Europa semis there will be issues but it should be fine.
