How many games to win SC? 6 unless you're a rank outsider.
To win the league? 36 and all against ranking opposition.
There's no way I can imagine any fan who had the chance of winning either the league or SC opting for the latter. Not even Hibs fans, twisted bunch that they are.
Agree and disagree with this!! For both Rangers and Hibs, the SC is far less important than promotion to the Prem. Don't get me wrong, great day out and a nice trophy for sure, but not if it comes at the expense of promotion for either team. Of course by the time the semis come around Rangers may already have promotion wrapped up, at which point the SC becomes the most important games, but for Hibs the league games either side of the semi are far more important than the cup!!
For the two prem teams still in the cup, different priorities for each of them, expectation for Ronnie and Co is to win the league and the cup as a minimum, so they will be up for it. For Dundee Utd, this could be the only bright spot in a dismal season, so they will want to win it for different reasons.
