On the Paramount+ stream, Craig Levein was bemoaning the lack of quality passes and crosses in the final third about 5 seconds before we scored that.

That was a wee bit less lethargic.

Nothing professional players love more than a delayed kick-off in big game.

I was hoping Aberdeen would win, but I suppose watching them get gubbed is a consolation.

Aye, a Rangers disarray has them 3 points and +7 goals better of than us in the league this season, so I'm under no illusions it will be easy to get a result. However, they aren't likely to hump us on current form, so I expect it to be close - and when it's close, you always have a chance.

Having watched SK's presser, can the Well Society have a vote on banning "Punching above our weight"? There must be better ways to say we sometimes do well with the resources we have. (Aye, I know it's just me being a grumpy old man)

I have no doubt the Rangers players will be up for it. They might be a bit edgy and lack a bit of confidence if things go against them, but they will want to win as much as we do.

I don't know about freezing, but we will have a few starters who haven't played on this size of stage before - so we (and they) will learn a lot about how they handle it. If they all handle it like Moult, we'll be fine. Having double cup winning Liam Gordon back is a bonus

Great honour for Lennon, but a bit of a blow to have our captain and vice-captain out of such an important game where an old, experienced head or two is valuable.

I missed a few semi-finals, so that last great day I had at Hampden against Rangers was the CIS Cup final. Then we kicked off...

Looking at the SFA website, it's the 13th, 16th and 19th of November.

Also, even when he's been fit, Moult has not been a starter for Utd this season. They have been using him off the bench.

The best part of Tawanda's second goal was when he was celebrating and jumped over the defender he'd left lying on the ground. Boss move.

I was wondering why van Veen didn't even make it to the bench in the recent St Mirren game, but I see today it's because he's been charged with domestic abuse: https://news.stv.tv/sport/scottish-premiership-footballer-due-in-court-charged-with-domestic-abuse On happier news, if you can call joining Accies happier, I see McKinstry has found a home at New Douglas Park.

It was wee Mickey Stewart that mentioned the missing players, so no need to take it seriously.

It's a nice change, even with a few key players missing, that SK does have decisions to make.

On it's own it means nothing, but their form - for a Rangers team - has been very poor so far. But I agree it won't be easy and we'll rightly go in to this game as underdogs. Our record, even against poor Rangers sides, is beyond awful.

It won't be easy, but I said at the time of the draw I've seen nothing from Rangers this season that worries me too much. If anything, since the draw, they have got worse. Win this, and Clement might be "oot la porte" or "oot de deur" depending what part of Belgium he hails from.

Great way to get things back on track - an away win against a team above us in the league. The Utd commentator on the stream said it's the first time they have lost to a team below them this season. Get the ice packs out and get ready for the next one.

Goodwin!!! Take your pick...

Casey and Blaney in defence - what could possibly go wrong. All we're missing is Bevis.

Not your jokes.

Although it's also nice to beat a Jim Goodwin team.

Well, according to the rule, if we don't agree in advance then the OF can ask the Board for a decision. It could be that is the Board's default number, but there is nothing in the rule that requires that or any other specific figure.

I was curious as to what the current rules say about minimum numbers and was suprised to see it laid out this way in SPFL Rule I27 So basically, there isn't a specific minimum number or percentage and if we came up with a reasonable safety related excuse could probably cut the allocation they have now. I'm not a fan of banning away supporters in general, but wouldn't object if we eliminated or reduced the OF numbers.
