The Killie and Ayr fans will be delighted. FW bro and mate at work are Killie fans and they are pleased to say the least.

Another couple stat. The last time Celtic and Falkirk met in a semi final was the Scottish Cup in 1997. They won the replay, and played Kilmarnock in the final... which they lost.

And if that happened again this year (Falkirk having already disposed of Rangers this season) it would be rather similar to when Hibernian beat Celtic in December 2003 in the quarter final of the League Cup, then Rangers in January 2004 in the semi final of the League Cup, only to lose the final to Livingston.

Ayr have beaten Kilmarnock 3 out of last 4 times they have been drawn against each other in cup.

It's probably better if it's not on tv as will encourage more supporters to go the game.

[Grumpy Old Man]

Decent prices for these games which should help attract half decent crowds 15 pounds adults & 5 for under 16's . Only main stand 20 pounds.
