Celtic Park is the biggest stadium in the country. Why shouldn't it be selected for the finals?

Ibrox is getting both Scottish Cup semi-finals, FYI.
So you are expecting a full house for Aberdeen vs Inverness CT??

No ... neither am I.

Irrelevant.

There should be at least as many seats as would be available at Hampden. Ibrox is smaller than Hampden; Celtic Park isn't.

Some of the fans who never go to games, always want to go the cup final.

So the powers that be decide that Celtic Park will get both finals of the Cup - the neutral might think that there is an agenda being worked here and this just highlights it quite clearly ... in fact they aren't even trying to hide it any more.

Fergus McCann is returning to Celtic Park next season on flag day.

What is hilarious is that wee crofty is trying to claim that there is an SFA/SPFL agenda against The Rangers in how the games have been allocated.

Out of 4 games they got 2 and we got 2.

I don't think Aberdeen would have wanted to play at Ibrox in a final anyway, when did they last even win there? Seems fair enough to get 2 games each for Rangers and Celtic and if the top tier at Celtic Park is closed you can always open it up if more glory hunters/neutrals decide to watch the game.

Is it not 22 or 23 years since Aberdeen won at Ibrox? Daviel used to know it down to the exact number of days.

Wise man once said that sponsors would want the largest ground for finals, unless that was only for the Ramsdens cup.


Seems Murrayfield will be confirmed as Celtic's temporary CL home while some games event takes place.

I'd rather have the CL qualifiers at CP than have the Commonwealth games money.

In saying that though, the regeneration around the south of the stadium looks amazing.

For the 6 months ending December 2013 Celtic have announced a pre tax profit of £21m.

August 1991 Aberdeen last won there. No wonder they would rather play at Parkhead!

Rubbish results, I mean imagine having a net balance with the bank of nearly £6m instead of bank debt.

Better watch out.

He'll demand to know who you are for making that post.

Decent game between Scotland's top two, if unspectacular in the box.

Out fought, out played, out of the cup.

Well done to Aberdeen and maybe just maybe the signs of a worthy challenger for the title next season.

Coupon buster of a result for Celtic. I thought they hadn't even conceded a goal for ages? I wonder if Neil Lennon is looking for the exit at the end of the season.

If Rangers win the cup, would they get a UEFA license for next season?

Don't you need 3 years of continuous accounts or special dispensation from the SFA or UEFA?

No - I don't believe the Ramsdens cup gets a European place - plus they need 3 years of audited accounts.
