Celtic vs Hearts
Rangers vs Dunfermline
Arbroath vs St Johnstone
Hibs vs Kilmarnock
Ayr vs Dundee United
raif vs Aberdeen
Dundee vs Motherwell
Livingston vs St Mirren

St Mirren at home, piece of piss.

Not on this season’s evidence, hopefully we have our first choice xi back and they are firing on all cylinders.

Think we've done well albeit fortuitously getting there.Even at home i feel St Mirren must be favourites unless we get our shit together,which is highly unlikely imo.At least it gives us another game to actually attend..

Raith 2-1 up against the sheep, would love Raith at home in the quarters.

Raith 2-1 Aberdeen FT.

Sevco
Dundee Utd
Dundee
Livi
Raith

Prob looking at Celtic, Hibs & St Johnstone joining us in the last 8. Hopefully Arbroath beat the holders though, will we be letting Nouble and Clark play i wonder, it'll cup tie them if we recall them for the final.   .

Hibs through.

Arbroath v St Johnstone going into 30 mins ET. Would say Arbroath would be delighted getting it to pen kicks at this stage.

Celtic cruising 2-0 against Hearts at HT. Celtic could easily stick 5 past Hearts in this game, totally dominating it in every way, 82% possession, 21 shots to Hearts nil, zero, nada, ZILCH,

Mon Arbroath, don't want St Johnstone getting through, just got a funny feeling we'll draw them away from home if they get through.

Celtic giving away a stupid pen from a ball just punted up the pitch and put into their box, was an easy clearance but the bhoy tried to control it and play it out the box not seeing the Hearts player nipping in, and kicked him.
Still should comfortably beat Hearts, but given them a bit of 'belief' now and you never know.

2-2 with Abroath taking the lead in ET, but St Johnstone equalising again. Into the 2nd half of ET now.

Celtic back with a comfortable lead again, 3-1 Celtic.

St Johnstone shitfest their way into the quarters, going through 3-2 on pens.

That's both finalist scraping into the quarters, what are the odds we'll be drawn together now. Mon gieus Raith at home.

Draw coming up.

We get Sevco at Ibrox, ffs.

Prob the hardest draw we could've got, but feck it, lets go beat them and get to the semi's, where we'll then play Celtic at Hampden.

Gutted wea that.Oh well decent pay day.

And another trip to Hampden for the Semi's. St Mirren did it last season so mon Livi piece of pish.

There is no doubt it can be done but not the way Martindale will set us up - he’ll go with the usual damage limitation set up hoping to keep it tight & sneak a winner or take it to pens. But it’s a cup tie & fortune favours the brave, so we should get right in tae thum from the start.

Weve nothing to lose here,but will take a decent financial gain.Also it will be a experience for our newer players.I doubt it,but we would be as well having a right go as most have Sevco in the semis already.‍�.

Yeah don't think we've ever beaten them at Ibrox, got a draw against them there though, and that would be enough to take it to pens, where we've certainly got experience from 2 pen shoot outs in this cup already.
If we can actually have a go and score against them it would turn the crowd against them too, which always helps our players, and makes theirs nervy to make mistakes. Don't think we can give them too much respect and let them get free rein to run the show, they'll have the possession for most of the game but we need to be in their faces making sure they work to keep it.

Just get stuck in about them and give it go Livi, you can do this, excellent having Keaghs back too, he's always got the right spirit to lead by example.

Just looked at the fixtures to see who we're playing before and after this game, Celtic at Home, Sevco Away (cup), then Hearts Away. Going to be some 7 days, will be buzzing like a bee on speed if we win the 3 of them.

As Aerosmith would say…. Dream on, dream on, dream on.

Wed 22nd Sept at 7.45, and on Premier Sports tv, as are all of the other quarter finals games.

Good stuff, will be watching it on my telly then, didn't fancy going to Ibrox to see it.
