Great opportunity! Neither side looked any great shakes tonight. Bring it on.

[Alan Simpson]

Yaaaaas knew it it's our year again

[CaleyCanary]

Cracking draw - happily take either of them and then the Dons in May

[Satan]

Nah, there's no lower ranked team than us to beat in the final.

[CaleyCanary]

Depends on what criteria you use for ranking!

[cif73]

The draw we were all hoping for. So so exciting this. What an opportunity!!

[Alan Simpson]

Be europa league again be Celtic in the final defo think wel take ptfc or the jumbos

[Yngwie]

Tie to be played at 9am on the Sunday, I expect.

[Inverwegian]

Anyone have any idea when we’re likely to know who plays on what date?

[Jack Waddington]

Good draw, but then it's Rangers or Celtic in the finals...

How hard would it be to screw up their Quadruple Treble?

[MorayJaggie]

Well I'd say as we were drawn first then surely the Saturday. Then a half 12 Sunday for the ugly sisters to reduce trouble.

[Satan]

We get what the others don't want.

Same as always. 

[sheepslagger]

I'm no going to put a hex on anything,  so I ll not go any further than, I m very much looking forward to the 13th or 14th of April !!!!!!

Love it !

Are you calling Aberdeen and Partick ugly sisters.? 

[Corriegarth]

I think the dates will depend hugely on the result of the Aberdeen Rangers replay. If Rangers win, I think their game will be on Sunday to minimise potential trouble. If Aberdeen win, then either of the ties could be on Sunday but have a sneaking suspicion, our game would be on the Sunday. Personally, I would prefer not to play at Hampden as it's a dump and the game will not sell out as will be live on TV. Much better to play at a smaller ground which is sold out.

Certainly hope we don't have to wait for the Dons/Sevco replay before knowing the date/time.  Quite a few of us have flights to book. I had hoped to do that tomorrow.

[Belfast Brigade]

i would also like to hear of the confirmed day for our game as i have flights and hotels to book too

[Kingsmills]

Not often that I hope for a Rangers victory but an Old Firm clash would guarantee the other semi final selling out which would mean us netting the best part of quarter of a million pounds from the semis which will go some way to plugging our financial black hole.

Hard or easy I don't mind as long as we do.

[The Long Man]

Odds on it is Hearts, Robbo will surely relish that.

[MatthewZ]

If the Jambos get past Partick  we’ll have the opportunity to wipe out the bad memory of the 5-0 drubbing last time we played them. Yesterday was a massive confidence boost for our squad, starting to play like the Caley teams we have loved over the years. What a great moment for the long-suffering Arron Doran. Man of the match. 

[Kingsmills]

I am surmising that much increased media scrutiny in recent years is making it now impossible for the SFA to rig these draws in the manner they routinely did in years gone by.
