Rangers v Killie cup clash live on the BBC
A Monday night in January awaits
Last year’s 4th round Scottish Cup ties in January were massively delayed by weather and it remains to be seen if the same will befall this season’s cup games. The vast majority of the ties will remain scheduled for the Saturday but there are two games moved to the Sunday and one moved to Monday evening.
The unusual Monday evening game will feature Rangers in an all SPL clash against Kilmarnock with the BBC taking responsibility for showing the tie. A 1930 kickoff time doesn’t leave too much time for working people to get away, especially if the weather isn’t too clever. Still Ibrox is easily reachable from the city centre of Glasgow and fans heading from Ayrshire are well served by the M77.
Berwick Rangers are hosting Celtic on the Sunday in a match that is set to be screened live on Sky and the other Sunday game sees Dundee playing Motherwell. Dundee’s match has been moved with city and street rivals Dundee United facing Ross County in a repeat of last season’s Scottish Cup final.
With this weekend’s SPL fixtures wiped out already, the Scottish Cup will soon be on us…and let’s face it, with the current weather, can you blame football fans for dreaming of a sunny day at Hampden in May?
