A cup's a cup for me. The aim is still to beat all the teams you come up against in it. I'm not really sure where the derision for league cups in the UK comes from. If anything they're a more elite version of the national cups as they don't have dozens of non league clubs to provide cannon fodder.
Having said all that, I agree that we don't really have much to lose. Unless we get absolutely hammered a defeat to Celtic given the difference in league placing and finances will merely be a failure to overturn great odds. On paper we don't have much chance, even playing at full strength. On the other hand...if we win it'll be Celtic's most humiliating OF defeat ever. From that point of view, it's a great draw for us.
