We have one of our Scottish Cup finalists, and it’s a shocker to be placed right next to Cardiff City in that other Cup. Going into today’s semifinal between Aberdeen and Queen of the South, the Dons looked great to take a clinical victory and move on to a final where, if they faced […]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
It really has been the year of the cupset in Britain. First the English FA Cup goes into the semifinals without a big four side. Then Celtic is tossed from the Scottish Cup by Aberdeen. Now, it took a late Kris Boyd goal for Rangers to avoid a similar fate today, as […]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
It’s been a really remarkably weird season for Aberdeen Football Club. On one hand, they had a great run in Europe, their first good run in Europe in a long time. Getting to the knockout rounds of the UEFA Cup was no small accomplishment for a club of relatively modest financial means, and […]
Scottish Cup: Rangers advance, Celtic draw
By: Ian Rose | 5 Comments
Both Old Firm sides were in action today as Rangers looked to stay alive in all four competitions, and Celtic continue their defense of the Scottish Cup. Rangers were hosting Hibernian, a tricky fixture given the Hibees’ recent form as well as the confidence they would bring to Ibrox, having won there earlier this […]

By: Ian Rose | 1 Comment
If you were to ask me a few months back who would be the first guaranteed semifinalist in this year’s Scottish Cup, I would have named almost anyone before Queen of the South. The Doonhamers were then sitting near the bottom of the second tier of Scottish football, and looked like survival in the […]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
I would have said “Scottish Cup quarterfinal preview” … but it isn’t quite. See, Rangers and Hibs still have the small matter of their fifth round replay this weekend to determine the last of the quarterfinalists. So this weekend sees one team progress to the quarterfinals, and three teams progress to the semis. […]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
After literally months without a league win, Hibernian has finally gotten a positive result, and against … guess who? That’s right. Gretna. Hibs went ten league matches without a win, more than a quarter of the whole season. In fact, it has been since October 6th, fifteen league matches ago, that […]
Dundee shock Motherwell 2-1 in Scottish Cup
By: Ian Rose | 3 Comments
Motherwell Football Club continues to struggle to find its footing. It’s hard to believe that it was less than two months ago that Motherwell lost their captain, Phil O’Donnell, to a heart failure after collapsing on the pitch. Since that tragic day, the ‘Well have struggled to regain the form that saw them […]

I’d like to be writing that the 4th round of the Scottish Cup was in the bag, but it really isn’t. Between weather postponements and draws, the round is barely even underway. A total of eight matches had to be called for weather this weekend as a nasty patch of winter rain, sleet […]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
The draw has been made for the fourth round of the Scottish Cup, and there are some interesting matchups. My boys at Caley Thistle got maybe the toughest draw of any SPL team, away at Hibernian. Oh well. Both Celtic and Rangers have pretty pedestrian home ties that they should handle well. […]
