Official Scottish Cup Semi-Final Draw - Celtic v Rangers

[TPB90]

He's already signed up to CCCS. You can join MyGers at any point though

So if you're on the CCCS and join up to MyGers now you'll get the same chance of a semi final ticket as someone who has been signed up for both since the start of the season? That can't be right surely.

 

[giogaddi]

We have a huge opportunity to get right in their heads before the trip to the Piggery with 2 victories. Don't waste it Rangers.

I agree. It should be locked down to stop something like that happening but I don't think it is.

It will be they’ve paid the same money . And their my gers will only last a few months .

Funny thing is they go to the head of the queue for aways as they’re on 0 .

[Jeepster]

Last years Sunday semi was a 14:15 kick off, how confident are we that this will stick? Need to start logistic planning asap!

They'll end up with a semi final ticket and one for Tynecastle

It’s not locked down . My gers is a cash cow for the club why would they do anything to stop fans buying it ?

FwIW there won’t be many who are on the cccs and not on my gers .

 

[derbybear]

Just wondering what the mentally challengeds are calling this game?

Need to see any reference to secco or non old firm to send to Bisgrove

My dad falls into this category. I might tell him to join MyGers now but it he forks out £50 for it and doesn’t get a semi ticket i’ll get a boot in the stones

It’s only £40 lol

 

[Bluerhap]

Last game we had players missing and not playing well. In the next three games they will face a very different Rangers. I’m confident they will be put back in their place.

 

[tr0211]

A lot less worried about this than I was before the game in January. Bring them on!

 

[irvine96]

4pm please

What's wrong with 3 pm??

Scottish Cup Semi-Final Draw - Celtic v Rangers​

Celtic v Rangers

Hearts v Hibernian

To be played the weekend of 16/17 April.

I've watched them a few times and last night too, we are a better footballing team than them , they do not do a low block unlike most teams in the SPL .
They leave a lot of spaces to exploit, their keeper is not very good with the ball at his feet and must be closed down very quickly.
Mcgregor is their main man, Carter Vickers is not bad but his fellow CH Starsfelt is a bombscare.
We can't give them any respect like we did on the 2nd February

 

[Noddy]

So if they get to the final give them 17,000 tickets and none of their regular supporters miss out. Same if it’s Hibs, give them one for every regular supporter.
Still means thousands of Bears who are season ticket holders will miss out which always annoys me.

Nope, I disagree with that. I take it you'd be happy for Barcelona to get thousands more tickets than Rangers if we played them in the Europa League Final? A final at a neutral venue should always be an even split where possible. And if one team can't sell out then by all means hand them over to the team who can sell them.

 

[bearspaw]

Theres fat ange getting his dig in about the referee for this game already.

"As long as the referee doesn't determine the outcome of the game".

Hate that guy

Absolutely fine if the ref determines the outcome with an unblemished set of perfect decisions based on what actually happens on the field of play. The ref always plays a part in deterring the outcome. Its just to often the wrong outcome

Agreed pal.

We have a wedding on the Saturday.
When are we likely to find out when the game will be?

No I wouldn’t be happy with that. We have what 46,000 season ticket holders who regularly contribute to the game. As many of them as possible should have the chance to attend a big game, even if it’s in a 90,000 capacity stadium we should get half of that.
Completely different from a club demanding an allocation of more tickets than their regular fanbase amounts to, just so Paw, Maw and the weans can have a trip to the big city.

Given we're very likely to go through against Red Star were almost certain to be the Sunday

 

[Withambear]

The outcome of the ticket distribution will be interesting

Those non mygers cccs will righty feel aggrieved and a significanct number may not sign up next year (I.e buy season ticket only and buy match tickets on an ad hoc basis for cup games ).

If not all group one get a ticket they may not renew mygers (but I think the subs for next year is due next week )

Going to be lot of unhappy people as usual when the glory hunters get sorted out due to contacts

 

[South Belfast Broxi]

Group 1 from the Hibs semi final are getting tickets and that's probably it.

 

[Est1872]

Same here.

Praying for a 2pm kick off at least

 

[Nacho Novo]

I'm sortie in agreement

A Rangers V Hearts Scottish Cup Final would be good!

Or do we want revenge on Hibs in the cups for 2016 and in November there?

 

[Nacho Novo]

Got a feeling it will be a 3pm League Cup Final again

Hibs. They need slapped back down.

It's a cup game at a neutral venue and no team should start with an advantage before a ball is kicked. League attendances have nothing to do with it.

 

[South Belfast Broxi]

Should definitely be a 2 or 3pm kick off, can't see the police approving any later on a bank holiday weekend.

Fwiw mate I don't really like the way MyGers has been implemented but, this was known at the start of the season. It's the reason a lot of punters signed up to every game and MyGers.

I've seen folk saying they don't have MyGers because they aren't bothered about away games. Rightly or wrongly that isn't the only thing it gives you access to, ticket wise. I dunno how it can be that much of a surprise when they miss out on a Tim ticket.

I think how the Cup tie goes and final, if we get through will make up a lot of guys minds over MyGers and/or CCCS.

 

[Clicker]

Whatever the occasion I still think people who regularly contribute to the game should get consideration before glory hunters and day trippers.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

100% but without doubt there will be plenty inside Ibrox who hardly attend our games

 

[joseph]

But it depends if they're on CCCS. A Bronze CCCS will be ahead of a Gold non-CCCS.

You just wouldn’t be in gold if not on cccs - this is where the points are accumulated

 

[joseph]

They'll end up with a semi final ticket and one for Tynecastle

Not necessarily, joining MyGers is one thing and waiting on points update window to determine what tier you go into is another issue

 

[South Belfast Broxi]

The semi final/final aspect of mygers works well and is fair, probably the only thing that works well on mygers. People can have no complaints.

 

[Noddy]

Whatever the occasion I still think people who regularly contribute to the game should get consideration before glory hunters and day trippers.

We'll need to agree to disagree on this one.

 

[irvine96]

Play it at Livi's ground, it's deemed to be up to SPFL and SFA standard and it will still not be full for an east coast semi.

It only holds 10,000 ffs

 

[Noddy]

For a minute I thought you were being serious.....

 

[LoyalNomad]

That time would suit me perfect. Does anyone have an inkling how long it would normally take before the time & date get confirmed?

 

[Withambear]

I think they may wait until after Friday lunchtime, if we get past red star then we will know by then who we play in the next round

 

[Ready72]

I have 1096 MyGers points but I’m not a MyGers member
What tier does that put me in?

Wondering whether or not to buy and hope for the best

Silver

Are you signed up to CCCS?

 

[Alex Venters]

Let's end their season in April.

 

[Cooper_11]

I'm delighted to have drawn those tramps in the semi final. We can absolutely destroy them if we play to the levels we know we can. In about them from the first whistle, don't let them settle, and we will put them to the sword.

 

[BlueNoseBlueblood]

Latter option for me mate....actually, Splatter option for me!

rip em apart

As @The_Degan says there is unlikely nothing stopping anyone going MyGers throughout the season

If the 18k is correct for Group 1 at the time of Hibs LC Semi-final how many of the remaining CCCS have since joined, say 7k that would be in Group 2 now have moved upto Group 1

I am sure there is cut-off for joining the CCCS in the 1st place as well

They shouldn’t feel aggrieved mate - they had/have the same opportunity to buy MyGers.

My Gers tiering was very transparent for Semi’s and Final tickets.

I’m a gold member and for the record I don’t necessarily agree with away ticket distribution but I do agree with priority window for cups

Your right. I don’t get folks moaning, if you ticked the all pre season friendlys and home and European cup ties us priority for semi finals and finals and are in mygers I’m pretty sure you will be ok for a ticket. Don’t get people moaning now it’s a big game but nowhere to be seen at earlier rounds against the wee teams.

@Cathcart Bear @TPB90

In previous seasons before mygers, those on CCCS from the start of season got priority over those deciding to jump on the CCCS bandwagon later on as we approached a league cup semi. Think the old cut off date for CCCS was halloween.
