‘Why couldn’t we get a harder draw?’ - Rangers and Celtic fans react to Scottish Cup draw as Hampden semi-final showdown awaits

Supporters on both sides of the Old Firm have cast their verdict after the Scottish Cup semi-final draw paired Rangers and Celtic together on Monday evening.

The Glasgow giants will face each other at Hampden Park in the last four of the competition, with the other semi-final tie ensuring Falkirk will meet Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Both sides will be excited at the prospect of reaching the 2022/23 cup final and eyeing a return to the national stadium on June 3.

Celtic knocked out fellow top-flight side Hearts 3-0 at Tynecastle to reach the last four on Saturday with Rangers seeing off Championship opposition for the second time in the shape of Raith Rovers by the same scoreline at Ibrox on Sunday.

Both ties are scheduled to be played at the end of April. One match will take place on Saturday, April 29 while the second game is staged on Sunday, April 30. Kick-off times and TV details will be announced in the coming days.

RANGERS REACTION:

It’s evident that Rangers fans know exactly what is on the line as they aim to end their bitter rivals Treble hopes. Here is some of the fans reaction on Twitter:

@DavidDunlop72: “This is our only chance to stop another treble, and it’s a must win!!”

@Cruzr1872: “Redemption is a must.”

@sarckybas: “Must win! Confidence needs to stand firm and it can be done, all this talk about budgets during interview’s or whatever do not help. As far as I am concerned if we play the way we can play we are top drawer.”

@Andy_Ru55ell: “Need to get the midfield selection, mindset and attitude correct this time.”

@RangersFC_Zone: “ABSOLUTE MUST WIN!”
