fringo Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Not sure if it's ever been mentioned here let alone by SFA, but would it be a good idea to have a Scottish Super Cup like some other countries do ? Start of the season league winner v Scottish Cup winner ? Another wee trip to Hampden (maybe) bathed in sunshine before the season starts.

Our teams are bogged down with early Euro ties unlike the mega rich who basically buy their way into the latter stages of Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they could squeeze it in as they don't have the early league cup group games like the rest of Scottish clubs. Could be a good warm up too rather than meaningless friendlies they play instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) I think while we play each other 4 times a season in the league, there's no appetite for it. I think the most times 2 teams can play each other in Scotland is 11 in one season. 4 x Championship 2 x Championship play off 2 x Scottish cup (1 + replay) 2 x league cup (group + knock out) 1 x ramsdens cup. That is nuts. Did we not get 7 old firms about 8 years ago by similar circumstances? I would usually watch an El Classico, but I didn't even know the 2nd leg of the Spanish super cup was on midweek and wouldn't have waited up anyway. I only stumbled on the 1st leg by chance (Although it ended up an interesting game). Edited August 20, 2017 by sbcmfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 No. It would have to be played in between the Scottish cup winner/runner up competing in Europe, attempting to get through the next sage of this competition is much more important than a glorified friendly for a piece of silverware that has no meaning whatsoever.

Imagine this year, Celtic v Aberdeen for a 3rd time at a Hampden final in a matter of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a good game going by the results that the youngsters have put in when called upon so far this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
