IIRC, and I'm sure Mark will correct me if I'm wrong, the semi final money is pooled together and split 4 ways so Morton should be getting a fairly heft financial boost as well.

It certainly used to be pooled, and I can't imagine it was changed in the revamp.

The best draw for Morton financially would be against either Celtic (if they progress) or The Rangers. Both semis would then be at Hampden, with a higher combined attendance than a Glasgow derby + Morton v Aberdeen/St Johnstone.

From a progression point of view, they'll obviously want Alloa to win tomorrow night

Alloa have had a fantastic start to the season and have beaten 2 Premiership sides already but they'll need a miracle tonight.

They've got half a team of ex Celtic players in their line up who'll be desperate to have a good showing at Celtic Park so I think it might be close until fitness starts to play a part.

A good, much-needed win for Rangers. Hopefully it's a boost for the team as we've got much more difficult game on Sunday.

Aberdeen, like yourselves have been very up and down this season. You never know which side is going to turn up.

I imagine it is going to be very tasty off the park as well.

Well I certainly hope Aberdeen are 'down' when we play them! A win for us would be a big result but I reckon it's going to be very tough. We seem to have one or two injury concerns from last night (e.g. Windass) so I hope those clear up.

They've got half a team of ex Dumbarton f.c. players in their line up who'll be desperate to have a good showing at Celtic Park so I think it might be close until fitness starts to play a part.

Sorry, had to fix that.

Aberdeen and Rangers fans dislike each other as much as Celtic vs Rangers. Should be a tasty game.

The chance to send them into the bottom six even at this stage of the season with be a moment the dons fans will want to enjoy.

Probably be a dull 0-0

How the **** did Craig Gordon not get sent off tonight? Waist high Kung fu challenge. If that had been the Alloa keeper????

I don't know. I kind of understand what the refs on BT were saying. If his studs had connected the player, then he was off. Was he intending to hurt the player? No, he was just too bloody slow as usual and thought he would get the ball. Very tight decision but I can see it both ways.

Possibly without Hayes and McGinn for Sunday now. Already missing our captain so just as well we have a bigger squad now than in previous seasons.

Morton v Aberdeen
Celtic v The offended.

That Aberdeen game was dire.

Numerous players out of position and baffling tactics but I suppose McInnes can say that from 8 domestic games this season the only one we have lost was at Parkhead.

Not very pretty to watch at the moment.

Great draw though.

There was no good draw for Morton.

I don't mind Morton, been in their end a few times a while ago when my mate played for them. Remember a cracking atmosphere at a league cup game at the old Rugby Park when Morton beat them years ago.

The Celtic V Sevco semi should be the 2nd one of the two, would be unfair for Morton or Aberdeen fans to have no toilets in their end as they couldnt be repaired at such short notice.

I'd be surprised if Morton v Aberdeen is at Hampden.

Why would it be?

Crowd would be around 16-18,000. It'll be played at Tynecastle I imagine.

Far better selling it out than playing in a two thirds empty Hampden.

Hmmm...I wish I'd quoted your original post.

Why did you originally accuse me of being "troll number three"?
