The move, while hardly a surprise, should give both clubs a welcome cash boost. The going rate for screening Scottish Cup ties these day seems to be £82,500 for each of the two clubs - although this may only be if it's Sky, rather than the BBC, who decide to show the game.
In 2009 we made the quarter-finals and our game against Celtic was shown on a Saturday with a similar kick-off time. That day, we pulled off a shock defeat - can we do the same again in 2011?
