Interesting day of results again, people always say there is not much between the teams out with Celtic. I have never really believed and there is big gap between sixth and seventh now.

Apart from Aberdeen it's pretty much the top 6 regulars

Why are Inverness being forced to play their semi final at 12:05 on a Sunday in Edinburgh against an Edinburgh club?

Aberdeen on Dundee would have been much fairer cities to play it in. The first train from Inverness doesn't even get to Edinburgh until the match is almost over.

I don't think the idiots in charge ever learn.

No harm in dreaming.

You just made too much sense.

Either a Glasgow ground, for attendance, or a properly neurtral ground.

Congratulations to Peter Lawwell, Eric Riley, Dermot Desmond and Tom Allison on winning the public vote and are re-elected to the Celtic plc board at the Celtic AGM.

Not so good on them refusing to implement the Living Wage though.

I think that will change given time.

I see the Rory Bremner comment has resulted in Pete being reported to the SFA....

Scotland team announced then. What has Gordon Greer been up to isn't he about 35.

Think Scotland are a decent price at around 15/8 to win, I think might keep up the recent win when it doesn't matter routine

The Celtic board today claimed that charity is in the DNA of the club.

I'd expect that charity to include paying the lowest paid staff more than just the minimum wage or having staff on zero hour contracts.

Zero hour contracts are a different matter, i'd agree with you there. This "living wage" nonsense bugs the hell out of me though.

First.

-15 points and we don't give a ****.
Hearts are staying up.
You've clawed back 2 points in 13 games.

Still reckon you'll stay up?

When was the last time a Glasgow club played outside Glasgow in a Semi Final?
I think you know the answer.
Also if Celtic get to the final of the Scottish Cup.
It will be a home tie.
Yes the idiots in charge.

No idea as I have no interest in the Glasgow teams. Another thing that I find totally wrong with this is that one of the semi finalists is going to profit from both matches. That should not be happening no matter how desperate for cash that club are.

I would like to think that if Celtic do reach the Scottish Cup Final, whatever method of choosing the "home" team still happens, and if Celtic end up with the away dressing room, so be it.

Similarly, if The Rangers reach the semi-finals and are drawn as the "away" team, they should have to take the away dressing room at Ibrox.

The four teams in the semi finals share the revenue regardless the venues.

Blame Raith - all our other cup ties this season have been reduced, but it needs the agreement of the away team.

They just want to cash in.

Celtic are capable of losing at home - plus the crowd will be 50/50 split. I don't think it will be too much of an advantage.

Hearts also make more through ground rental which is a decent sum.
