match thread (image) [FT] Rangers 4 - 0 Ayr Utd (Aberdeen v Rangers in semi-final)

[JFK-1 1,675]

Now we're going to see what depth we have as far as the striking role goes. Though to be true most of our goals are coming from sources other than strikers.

Where will our semi be played though? Both ourselves and Celtic will be playing in the EL on the Thursday and will be looking for a Sunday fixture at Hampden but they can't put us both on.

Saw talk of one of us playing on the Saturday.

There's talk of Murrayfield.  But I'd assume that would be used for the other semi and not ours.

Due to Rangers and Celtic being in Europe on the Thursday One of the semi final games may be in Edinburgh.

[Franc Ergs 1,369]

Looks like possibly a toss of the coin for Murrayfield or Hampden.

 I remember seeing someone on RTV talking about playing on the Sat if we got past Ayr  but cant remember whom?

Wonder what the story with Sadiq is, but methinks Kent, Middleton and Grezda can play through the middle too.

 

Likewise, it remains to be seen where one of the OF will play, I would assume Murrayfield is the main candidate. Wonder who will decide which half of the OF will be asked to travel ...

 

EDIT ... the Yahoos will sure howl in anguish if Hearts are essentially handed a "home game" ...

Playing on the Saturday is a no go.  Won't happen.

The opponents will be the deciding factor.  Hearts will stay in Edinburgh.

 

Mind you, I'd love our game to be there...it's walking distance from my house.
