mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Should we progress along with them this week in Europe, there is a chance we could be drawn to face each other. How big a game would this be? Would it be the biggest Old Firm game in history, or would it mean little should the winner not go on to actually win the cup? Personally, I think it would be an incredible encounter and one that would go down in history. I would probably rather beat them in Europe and knock them out than win the Scottish Cup. Even if we got knocked out in the next round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would fancy us strongly to beat them over 2 legs without a Clancy or Collum on the whistle and VAR to back up If it was a straight choice over beating them in the cup or in Europe ,it has to be the Scottish Cup ,we are needing a trophy and need to stop their clean sweeps ASAP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Fucking hell, the self pity on here when we slip up is fucking torture. Aye we have been shite for a few weeks. The same players were excellent for long periods before that. League is probably too big an ask now, but fucking ever being scared of playing them.

You'd rather knock them out of Europe and win nothing over winning our first piece of silverware in over a decade that could change the mentality of the whole squad and stop what is currently an odds on quadruple treble for them?

To be honest, yes, absolutely. We have won loads of Scottish Cups, we will win loads more. There has never been a single time where one of us has knocked the other out of Europe. IMO, it would be bigger than a Cup Final in terms of meaning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
