Stranraer v Dundee Utd, 12.30 Sky (ouch)
The Rangers v Raith Rovers, 15.00, BBC
An utterly atrocious pick from the BBC. A bog-standard Championship game that will be played in front of a sub-20,000 crowd in a 50,000-seater stadium. Queen of the South v St Johnstone is a much better prospect.

But really that's just a "Let's piss on Rangers" post, isn't it.
I don't personally remotely support Rangers, quite the reverse. But that to me is a perfectly reasonable choice by the BBC.
Rangers ( IMO ) got what they deserved, but let's not pretend that as a club ( as distinct to current form ) they are a bog standard Championship club and that their cup tie doesn't hold great interest and not just to their fans.

No, it's not. I said as soon as the draw was made that there were far better ties for TV than the The Rangers game.
If you're going to argue about The Rangers' size, it makes it an even worse pick because it's a second tier side away to a supposedly bigger team. The general rule of thumb has always been Celtic and (The) Rangers away games, yes; home games, only a select few.

Don't know who you think you are kidding with your silly "The Rangers" stuff and all.
But hey, have fun, I usually get fairly quickly bored of much of the inane Old Firm stuff on here ( which must even thoroughly bore many Old Firm supporters ).
Rangers playing anyone in current circumstances, home or away, I'd say is arguably of quite a big interest.
I'll get back to reading threads just genuinely about football...

The BBC might want people to actually watch the game though instead of 25 people watching the Old Farm derby at Palmerston.
Celtic resting players today makes the 23/20 available on Dinamo Zagreb look like great value.
Who did you supposedly rest? Watching Celtic play this season made Dinamo Zagreb favourites and the bookies got it correct. This van Dijk character, is he only good against Partick Thistle or the other Scottish teams? Seems to concede a load of goals in Europe.
Anyone who cares about The Rangers v Raith Rovers will be in the ground, or in Kirkcaldy.
Outside Dundee nobody cares about the Dundee teams. The TV company will pick the games the most people will watch and that isn't Queen of the South vs St Johnstone.

Yes it is.
Even The Rangers' own fans couldn't give a toss about their games. Queen of the South v St Johnstone would attract a considerable neutral audience.
"The Rangers" is one of the lamest wind-up attempts ever. The club has often been referred to as "The Rangers", over many years, including in official club material:

There would be more people at Ibrox than there would be inside Palmerston combined with those watching it on TV if the QotS game was picked by the BBC. Why you think a considerable number of people would tune into QotS vs St Johnstone I don't know. It's hardly some giant killing in the offing. It has no appeal at all.

Poor jenzie and indi if that happens.
Did you miss the 'worst league in the world' part, timmy? Supposedly the best pressing team in Europe (:D) hammered you at your place.
So you condemn it? Good to know.
Oh wait you don't love their 'banter' then? Why not?
Please noooo !!!
Yes, because it was obviously a load of shite and a piss poor attempt at winding folk up.
Yes, I condemn the vandalism of the ground of another club.
I think I've explained that before.

One look at Pie and Bovril will tell you it really isn't.
Cheerio, then.

That would read The The Rangers for the new club
Let them have their petty torments. They think it makes them hilarious.
