it happened in 2011

Rangers were away yo St Johnstone in an april game that kicked off at 5:15

pretty same for celtic the following week against same team

It really is a glaring lack of foresight on the part of the SFA. Lets look at the facts:-

- Scottish Cup dates (and replay dates) are arranged well in advance

- UEFA Champions League dates are arranged well in advance

- The rule regarding potential clashes with Champions League games (whether you agree with it or not) is well known and documented

All the SFA had to do was anticipate problems by reviewing Scottish Cup fixture dates and Champions League fixture dates and putting a contingency plan in place. The only thing which might be excusable is if original matches were postponed because of weather, etc.

This is just down to very, very poor administrative procedures within the SFA and is, frankly, inexcusable.

According to this the fans protested against the early kick off.

Maye it's not surprising that SFA avoided it this time.

sure the inverness celtic game was an early kick off at the end of 2011 season
