So, league and Challenge Cup fixtures rigged for the 2nd year in a row. Could be a bit of a rocky start for Warburton unless the new boys gel ridiculously quickly.

Rigged??

To be fair, if it was rigged surely this would be the final the authorities want, not the first round in July!!!

[El Car]

This kick starts the season with a bang though, and if recent history has taught us anything it's that we're far from guaranteed to go far in this cup much less make the final.

Fully agree SCO,utter tripe you are posting El Car you got to the semi last year and got beat in the final the year the year (Ramsdens cup),so please tell me HOW IS IT RIGGED??

[Larry-AV]

The draw was probably 'rigged' to give BBC Alba something to broadcast, Fred !  

The kick-off will be 12:30 hours and the match will be shown live on BBC Alba ( I had to Google 'Teuchter TV', from a post on NOT606, to ascertain the broadcaster !). The Rangers website link does not give the station.

Rangers FC - Hibs Tie Moved For TV - BBC Alba, Virgin cable channel 161.

BBC Alba commentary: "Hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy Rangers, hurdy gurdy furdy murdy Hibs."
