Celtic and Rangers avoid one another in the draw, yet again.......suprise, surprise.
I vaguely mind somebody posting the relevant historic stats from bygone days - it would be interesting to see the frequency of how often they`ve bodyswerved meeting until the final.
Cue SFA mafia conspiracy theories !!!

The draw was made live on the BBC Scotland channel by Jim Leighton under the supervision of Jane Lewis. Are you implying they were complicit in any foul play?

It`s been twenty odd years since there`s been a SC final with that pair.

Heavens above - no - I was just interested in the possibility of any 2 of any 4 not being randomly matched.
"It`s been twenty odd years since there`s been a SC final with that pair."
2001/02 - but how often have both reached the last four and remain separated ?

Shouldn`t we be asking when the last OF SEMI-FINAL was? I can`t find a website that lists them.

Indeed, these two clubs have played in a couple of Scottish Cup semi-finals in the last few years but have never contested the final before.

From a purely mathematical perspective, it`s a 1 in 3 chance that they would be drawn against each other when both are involved at the semi final stage.
On average therefore, they would tend to avoid each other twice as often as they would be drawn against each another. Given how frequently they`ve met in the semi finals over the course of the past decade (five out of the last ten) I think it`s fair to say that if anything, they`ve bucked the trend.
But by all means, don`t allow hard, verifiable facts to stand in the way of a good conspiracy theory. Keep your tinfoil hat on.
Enough of this. Next you’ll be trying to convince us that the earth isn’t flat.

Wee eck….Do you automatically revert to the conspiracy theorist for every post as very predictable now and if it’s not nonsense like this then you are trying to pick up people for stating their opinions……so boring your life must be

Rangers and Celtic enter the cup in the 4th round - the round of 32.
Assuming they`d beat anyone they are drawn against (not a bad assumption), there`s a 51.6% chance of them playing against each other in the final.
Given they`ve never played in the final before this suggests, if anything, the draw is `rigged` such that are meeting in the early rounds more frequently than expected, rather than being kept apart.
There`s plenty of dodginess going on in Scottish Football, but this isn`t one of the dodgy things.

What`s the broadcast deal these days? Sky (or similar) pick of the semis and then the final on BBC?
There was a time they very rarely met before the final in the cups. Then satellite TV came along where they didn`t have exclusive rights to the final and, purely coincidentally, Rangers & Celtic started getting paired in the draws in earlier rounds quite regularly.

The universe is ruled by chance and indifference

The opening post mentions conspiracy theories - not me!
For the umpteenth time - disagreeing with someone is not trying to deny them an opinion. It`s what a forum is for. What`s boring is people repeating these false accusations time and time again.
