Could be one of the games of the season tomorrow in front of a full house at Celtic park........and at 3pm on a Saturday as well! 😀

One of the games of the season and only 60,000 at parkhead can watch.  Only 1,000 hibs fans there, so the other 17,000 who go to home games are unable to see there team play in an extremely important game.

Also, the spfl is always coming up with daft ideas to sell the game better, (more half time entertainment!) what about actually showing the big games on tv.  These are two of our best teams, it should be a great advert for Scottish football.

My two ideas - If the game is a total sellout like today the game should be on council tv so kids get hooked on football.  And play the best game of the week at 5.15 on a sat so we can all watch our own teams, East Fife v Brechin and then head to home/pub to watch.  But not too late for cel & hibs fans either on a sat.

St Mirren have restricted home end tickets sale to just those on their database tomorrow as Killie fans have been buying home end tickets.

Few mates been knocked back from whatever their stadium is called, today.

Hopefully find *some way* to view the game from my living room ..............................

Hamilton v Rangers or Celtic v Hibs - I'd definitely watch the 2nd match but have no interest in the other. Even the Hearts v Aberdeen match is more intriguing than accies v sevco

If Aberdeen beat Hearts, Celtic and Hibs draw and Killie win then Killie will be top. 

If Rangers also win tomorrow then it won't half be a tight top 6.

Potential for the most exciting season in decades. 

That's some feckin leap RB......

I'm guessing you're too young to remember when every game was a Saturday 3pm and the only way to see it was to actually go to the match?

Also you, and many others, don't seem to be able to grasp that TV games need to be organised in advance, or do you not care that the folk who are going need to make arrangements as long as you can watch it on the telly?

And would it really sell out if folk knew they can watch it on the telly, catch 22.. Folk hoping it sells out so they don't need to pay to go to it.

Very true but we can't have it both ways. We've continually lamented the influence TV has over 'traditional scheduling', so we should be happy that it's 3 o clock on a Saturday and it gets bodies through the door.

Yes, exactly. I understand Hibs fans wanting to see it as well of course but I'm guessing the ones who go week in week out will be the ones with tickets for today. Hard to have too much sympathy for the ones wanting to go based on them doing well that wouldn't any other time.

Eleven sports are challenging the 3pm Saturday black out as they want to show Spanish games and are being told they can’t.

Could be interesting. They are making the valid point that loads of folk are illegally watching Saturday 3pm games anyway.

Wont change anything here.

Rangers away, Celtic away, Rangers away, Celtic away, old firm, token Killie v Aberdeen, Rangers away, Celtic away....

Would kill the game completely, especially in the uk. Who wants to go out, find parking, get soaked and sit in a freezing stadium paying stupid prices for something to eat, not get a drink,  when you can sit in front of a 65" full HD telly and watch the game with replays, comments etc
