merged : 6th Round (QF) draw

[TSTtiger]

Our record is better against Celtic in Inverness but either way it's a terrible draw

[Alex MacLeod]

Ya beat me to the merge as well

I hope to hell its Rangers who win the replay cos I cant see anyone else beating Celtic at the moment. This has to be the worst possible draw for us.

[MissICT]

IF we win agsint celtic/rangers we could win the cup!

Mon the super caley

[tm4tj]

Bring it on.

Immaterial which half we are up against as they are obviously the top two teams at the moment.

Someone has to put them out if neither of them is to win the cup, so it might as well be us.

[Stevie]

No Im not going to be too negative about this, at least it's at home.

I know we're no' doing great at home but be honest you'd always rather a home game against the Old Firm.

Johnboy has a very valid point, after the replay either side could easily have a few suspended.

They could also be fairly knackered, they both especially Rangers, have a very heavy schedule.

And of course if we beat them, the worst we can hope for is Dundee Utd in the semi or final.

[12th Man]

It will be a good game, if its Celtic I would imagine we are the team they wouldn't want to play the most and Rangers will be playing 2 games a week till then so they might be a little bit tired.

We need to buy up the tickets early and keep the OF out of the home stands, so it will probably be an early Saturday kick off or a Sunday game.

They can be beaten.

Good spot, Alex....

That's probably how he beat you to the post.

[MissICT]

Look at it this way:

County beat Celtic last year so we have a chance. Show the SFA that caley are no a diddy team!

Be Positive, ...................win this tie and there's no OF opposition en route to lifting the Cup !!

Not entirely, I was watching the draw on a stream on the interweb when it froze after Aberdeen name was read out, when I refreshed ICT were drawn and the rest as they say is history.

Still, what did disappoint me was that I put a topic in the forum about five minutes before the draw, yet some nutters still managed to create their own topic.........and one of them was even a moderator.

I was too busy concentrating on the build up to the draw that I hadn't been looking at the forum at that point.............didn't actually expect someone to cheat like that anyway. Back to topic.....now that our chance of a european place as runners up in the cup is gone we need to really dig in and drive for fourth in league.

I know its a pity people are so keen to start a topic without checking. tut, tut.

[Pedz4king]

i would prefer rangers as i think celtic are the better of the 2 right now, rangers don't have as much depth as celtic and rangers have to play more games in hand which will leave their first team not as fresh for the game

[Crusher]

Looks like TM4TJ was spot on in his draw summary to me...

Either old filth will do, at least is is a home tie.

[Granty24]

Usually you have to beat at least one of the old filth to win the Scottish cup, has to be done. This is our year, bring it on!

[davie]

Either, but would prefer the H*ns. I would like to welcome Diouf to the Highlands, and I'm sure that others feel the same. I really don't feel bad about this at all - beat them at our place (and we're more than capable of doing it) in a counterattacking game that suits our style and the competition becomes wide open.

No way I'm thinking that "now that our chance of a european place as runners up in the cup is gone" or "that's our day out at Hampden gone" If I felt like that, I wouldn't bother turning up. I do, however, hope that someone else predicts 2-0 and has a bad feeling about it. We are going to Hampden and Miss ICT can brighten the place up by herself!

[TopSix]

The gaffer reckons he has the best squad of players at the club now than at any other time. I'm inclined to agree with him. We have players in who are looking to their own futures - be it at ICT or elsewhere. These guys have points to prove, and nothing to lose. Can we do it? Of course.

[caleymore]

A full house at TCS at least. Much better than an away tie to Motherwell and just as much chance of a win..

[KennySim93]

Was feeling down about this when I first saw the draw but feel a lot better now after seeing all the positive posts!! :twothumbsup:

[dead_ball_specialist]

In the old days we were DESPERATE to draw the OF in the Scottish Cup, now we're dissapointed - how times have changed!

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

From a financial point of view, live TV at home would be nice, followed by a replay. If by some freak we were to win then the team that knocks out the favourites normally succumbs to a humbling defeat in the next round.

[jaggy]

Win lose or draw we will get some substantial TV money and that can only be good for the club. With Rooney and Foran back to scoring ways confidence will be up. The way the three new signings are playing, who knows we could get more TV money in the semi finals. Cmon Caley.

[Johnboy]

I'd prefer to see us get Rangers next but as 10 man Celtic outplayed Rangers for most of today's game, I expect it will be the Hoops.

Hopefully by the time it comes around, our new boys will be well established in the side - they certainly all got off to decent start yesterday, and if we can add a "fit and raring to go" Jonny Hayes back into the side, you would have to fancy our chances against anyone.
