3rd Round CIS Cup Draw

[caleyrule]

We have been drawn away to Celtic in the Co-op Cup 3rd round draw made this afternoon

[Yngwie]

That wouldn't have been anywhere near the top of my list of preferences.

Mind you, with Lennon's managerial record in cups.....

[Johnboy]

Few gave us a chance on Feb 8th 2000...

I know but not the draw many of us would have picked.

[Johnboy]

I think it it's a good draw...

Teams like ICT can be at their best when they've been written off, and at their worst when expected to win easily.

Remember Saturday?

[MissICT]

This draw could have gone better but knowing us I think we may slip a win out of this

however I doubt I will be attending this fixture

But I may take a trip to Dingwall to support Utd

Great good money for the club. Win this then into Ibrox for next round, more spondulix.

Oh dear me!

neksor

[caley100]

Oh aye... County at home to Dee Utd.. revenge job eh?

Anyway away to the Tims aint all bad news, we will be underdogs and thats when we are best in my mind!!!!

[TopSix]

This has 3-1 written all over it.

[The Mantis]

Not a pleasant environment to spend a Tuesday night

Lucky if there will be 20,000 at this game.

We lost 4-2 last time we were away there in CIS (league) Cup, but we certainly gave a good account of ourselves.

[TSTtiger]

Shyte draw. Feckin Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[Granty24]

Good draw methinks. No real pressure on us as celtic will be expected to win. Good moneymaker too :)

[Jeepsaw]

might be moved to the wednesday cos the huns are at home as well. Might be on the telly too!

[alternative maryhill]

Maybe not the most likely way to get the good cup run we've been waiting for again for years. From a selfish point of view I'm quite pleased though - this will be a really easy game to get to.

[ICTPaisley]

Do Celtic charge ridiculous prices for cup games as well or do they have reduced prices for students? A rubbish draw but bring it on! I'm confident we could win this if Celtic have a really bad day.

I agree i reckon there will be around 15,000 for this one hardly a glamour tie for the home fans and not great for our fans since its on a Tuesday night

Not the great money spinner for the club that some fans on here think:annoyed:

[12th Man]

Due to past cup success, I would say we are one of the main teams that Lennon would want to avoid at this stage.

Which is sandwiched between our ESPN Sat 12pm home ko with Hearts and Sat 3pm St Mirren away.

Whilst Celtics is between their Sky sports match on Sunday 12.45 away game to Kilmarnock and home to Hibs at 3 pm the following saturday.

We have an extra days rest with them having a Sunday game but its probable that our fixture will be played on a Wednesday but we will still have an extra day to recover.

[Govan Jaggie]

Not a great draw and dont expect much of an away support sadly. I dont usually go to Septic Park but if prices are good you never know!

[TopSix]

Ooh good point Govan Jaggie. I've only been to parkhead once and that was on free tickets. I grudge giving them my hard earned cash. Wonder how much tickets will be for this one, if they're cheap I'll go. I'm also in a bit of a conundrum in terms of travel. This match could go to extra time and penalties? That would make it a bit toight making it back to the 'burger on the jake train. Questions, questions, questions. Anyone know when the gate prices might be announced?

Don't forget the barstewards sometimes keep us in.

What with the restricted view seats and all that (OK there's usually room to move anyway if you like going near the front), I'm tempted to give this one a miss.

I have a sneaky suspicion this one may be on the telly. Thanks for the heads-up on being kept in after the game. I take it this for our own safety?
