Better team than Hibees? Â Played you and most of the SPL of the park last season including our semi win against you at Swynie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with helping out the teams playing in Europe but that's as far as it should go. Open draw after that. I know folk like a seeding system as they will argue that it should, in theory, give us 'more attractive' ties but that has the opposite effect on me. It's one of the reasons I rarely watch Champions League games these days too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much anyone can beat anyone. The only thing it means is that Celtic can't play Rangers in this coming round, or Aberdeen can't play Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams would be on 8 points but United have the better goal difference so would go through. Dunfermline need to win in in 90 minutes. Any other result and United are through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it gone to penalties, surely would've been the most pointless shoot out ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewolf_1980 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 We've had two away cup ties this season already...! As a sadsack, I thought I'd research our home/away record in cup ties since season 2012-13 when, of course, football actually begun for us Rangers fans (apparently). Excluding cup ties held in neutral venues but including replays, the record is 23 home ties and 16 away. you can deduce your own conclusions from those facts; some will think there is an obvious and suspect bent towards home fixtures whilst the sane ones will consider that it's just the luck of the draw. Surprised that the normally reliable factmeister Sevco Sheddy has forgotten a certain cup tie against the lower-league Dundee Irrelevant FC back in the 2013 glory days when we suffered a humping. That, as far as I could tell, was an away cup tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 On the whole Rangers home draw banter, anybody got the stats, or bored enough to get them? Can remember Livi away in the petrofac cup, and Dundee United at tannadice, and united again at a neutral venue (Ibrox  ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd include neutral venues, as it makes the stats worse! Easter road, Ibrox and Hampden x4? So only left Glasgow once? Presume you got "the Rangers end" at Hampden all 4 times? I hope Peterhead lay claim to "the Peterhead end" if they ever play Celtic at Hampden, after all, they've always had that end.... (random bug bear shoehorned in...)
