KeepBelieving1872 64 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Given that there is an international weekend at the start of February i would suggest that we schedule the old firm game for then. I don't think Scotland have a match scheduled for then and we don't even have a manager as yet! So why not play it then?? We wouldn't really be affected by foreigners playing for other countries would we: Cuellar - no, Darche - no, Cousin - no, Hemdani - no. Hopefully Ireland would have a match that weekend and McGeady was called up..... no way could Celtic complain given that he was meant to be suspended for it originally. From a personal point of view i hope its not scheduled for the last midweek in January cos i have a ticket for the match and i'll be down south working!!

CIS Semi is the 31st Jan, so the OF wont be on then Maybe they'll go for Wednesday 23rd January?? Hope not cos i'm still down south (( But i suggest Saturday 2 February is the best date for rescheduling!!! Plus old firm games are better when played at weekends.

That is the date for the next round of the Scottish Cup and I am assuming we and Celtic will get through the ties on the 12th and 13th January.

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 They might switch the cup ties with the oldfirm game so it's on a Saturday, then they could play Rangers vs East stirling during the week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossDas 1,071 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 The match should be reschedualed to our convenience, seeing as our fixture list is already congested. If the little green ones are genuinely not doing it for their own advantage then they should have no complaints. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rohan 25 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 We might have a stronger squad when we play them aswell Although I was very happy with the team on Saturday aswell as Celtc going through a hard spell atm. From that point of view it is a little dissapointing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
