There have been winners who didn't face the OF. Winners: Scottish Cup: Hearts faced Grena , St Johnstone faced Hibs, ICT faced Falkirk, Dundee Utd faced Ross County, Kilmarnock faced Falkirk. League Cup: Livingston faced Hibs, Hibs faced Kilmarnock , St Mirren faced Hearts, Aberdeen faced ICT. If we get to the final it will be my 6th and we will have faced the OF in 5 of them. Aberdeen beat Celtic to lift the Scottish Cup 6 months ago. It can be done...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to actually be in the final to have a chance of lifting the cup and we won’t be because we won’t get past St.Mirren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you're not going to the game then, as that sounds like a waste of a ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no assumptions being made here. But the point was made that we havent been winning finals since 1991 because we always come up against one of the ugly sisters and other teams that have won trophies in that time by luckily avoiding them. Just pointing out there has been an outlier....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically, Rangers, for all 3 of them. Not forgetting Raith Rovers & Kilmarnock in the League Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Ticketing & Membership Operations Address: Scottish Football Association | Hampden Park | G42 9AY Email: supporters@scottishfa.co.uk Thanks for that update. I've been trying to understand a technical reason why a ticket bought through a club isn't immediately visible in the Hampden app. Guessing data not transferred in real time from one t'other. 6 decades ago anaw we could put a man on the moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. If anything it’s making a stressful environment even more stressful. I’m just concerned we’ll get to Saturday and the 5 tickets I’ve bought for folk without smartphones will hopefully be on my phone for me to scan them in. If it was just me then I’d deal with it but I’m responsible for 4 others getting into the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, if it makes things cheaper for the commercial entity involved, then all that other good stuff you've mentioned often just goes out the window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, there are complaints about paper based ticketing too (price of postage, lost in mail, having to collect from office, copies and fraud etc.) The biggest challenge is almost always the transition period between the old and the new technologies. That takes some expertise and additional support resources - neither of which appear to be in abundance at the SFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
