I read that barring the semis and the final, its been five years since they last got an away tie in the cup.

No idea if true, but mental if so.

Need all the money they can to help keep them going I'm guessing. Not the the GFA, I mean, SFA, favour them or anything like that.

It's true.

Monday morning, can't get going at my desk until coffee kicks in, so had a trawl through Wikipedia (I did it, then asked Chat GPT - and it gave me the same answer in seconds!)

Removing semis and finals, I make it:

20/21 – 2 x away (LC), 3 x home (SC)

21/22 – 2 x home (LC), 1 home, 2 away (SC)

22/23 – 2 x home (LC), 2 x home,1 x away (SC)

23/24 – 2 x home (LC), 1 x home, 2 x away (SC)

24/25 – 2 x home (LC), 2 x home (SC)

25/26 – 2 x home (LC), 3 x home (SC)

 

LC – 10 home, 2 away

SC – 12 home, 5 away

Total – 22 home (76%), 7 away

I asked Chat GPT abut our record

From 2020/21 to 2025/26, Aberdeen played:

• 23 home games

• 18 away games

• 41 total games

So Aberdeen's split was 56.1% home / 43.9% away.

and Hearts:

Across the six seasons, Hearts played:

• 12 home games

• 22 away games

• 34 total games

So their cup schedule was 35.3% home / 64.7% away.

But check out Celtic

• 22 home games

• 5 away games

• 27 total games

That gives Celtic a 81.5% home / 18.5% away split.

This is Chat GPT so who knows the accuracy - but the Hun stats matched

I must go and do some work!!!!

And of course the semis and finals are on their doorstep with biased allocations..

A home tie didn't help the huns against Queen's Park in 2025. Just saying, like.

Just imagine the scoreline had it been away though!
