Falkirk beat Ayr 2/1 so join Inverness,Celtic and Rangers in the semis.
Good entertaining game for 2 lower league teams.

Last time Inverness and Falkirk met at Hampden was for the 2015 final.

Plus, Inverness are (probably) the only team in Scottish Cup history to get knocked out of the tournament yet still make the semi finals.

I was at that final.
Falkirk played really well but a howler from their keeper cost them big time.

Yep. Palmed out a shot that was going wide to leave a tap-in.
I’ve seen Falkirk lose 3 Scottish Cup finals in my lifetime. I probably best not go if we get past Inverness.
 
The corrupt farce that is Scottish football continues. Hibs commit 7 fouls against Celtic. Guess what....... 5 yellow cards and one red card for their troubles. It's the same for the opposition every week against them. Referees are terrified of that mob. The decades of criticism and intimidation has worked.
Even the Hearts manager commented recently that one of his players would have to be decapitated for a referee to take any action against any of that lot.

Thought the Hibs sending off was harsh also thought the Motherwell sending off was harsh as well.
Rangers get as many decisions as Celtic in playing the so called smaller teams.

You are joking, right ?
Celtic are the least carded team in Scotland by miles. Probably Britain as well and perhaps Western Europe.
I don’t ever remember Rangers playing Hearts and committing the same number of fouls and Rangers receiving no cards at all while Hearts got 3 yellows and 2 reds. Which of course happened to you this season in the East end of Glasgow.
 
Went to 1 of these Legend games yesterday, was Rangers Legends Vs a World Legends, and a certain Mr Kinkladze played for the last 10mins. It's fair to say the only shape he's kept himself in is round, but it did give me the opportunity to tell my 11 year old about him and look up some YouTube videos. Thought the wee man was magic for a few years, my type of player.
 
The old firm ladies game ended on a controversial note last night.
Rangers assistant lost the plot after Celtic scored an equaliser with the last kick of the ball.
He will be lucky to survive this incident.
 
That fella needs to be sacked. I totally get it, the fact he'll be pissed off at conceding a 99th minute equaliser in an "old firm" game. I'd be pissed off as well (I still remember the feeling when Owen scored on a different day to win a derby. But you just can't go around handing out Glasgow kisses like that. He's in a position of authority (on the coaching staffl, FFS. And he's had the brass neck to deny that he did it!
