The Ibrox side face Inverness Caledonian Thistle in round two and have been told the winner will go straight into the hat for round three of the competition as one of the eight seeded sides. Do Rangers deserve to be seeded in the Third Round of the League Cup? YES NO The SPFL say they had to make the move as Gers are a round behind other clubs due to Ibrox being out of use during the Commonwealth Games. If they see off Caley, Rangers would avoid the big guns while the eighth-ranked side would get a tougher tie. But the SPFL insist their hands are tied ahead of today’s draw. Operations chief Anton Fagan said: “This was done to ensure the smooth running of the tournament.” http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/spfl-risk-fan-backlash-rangers-4114100 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,257 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Trying to arm another stoshie which makes for easy 'journalism'. There is precedent for this in UEFA competition and besides if Rangers were to beat ICT and qualify for the 3rd round then they would only be taking the place of the seed, who they had beaten on the pitch. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
