    We'll get Hearts at Tynecastle. Sevco away to Forfar. Game moved to so Forfar will get to play at Mordor with their heroes.

    I’d rather win the league cup than have a decent European run to be honest.

    For the next 2 years Europe is an irrelevance to me.

    Hopefully get some lower league home game's for the first couple..

    Play the youngsters and then take it more seriously the more we progress..

    All I care about now is the league and getting in to group stages of CL. Winning the league cup doesn’t get you tens of millions of pounds.

    The main reason for entering a competition is to win it and I can't see us putting out a team in any competition that's not going to do everything it can to win. I think the League Cup is important to us in creating momentum for the rest of the season, an early fillip in the run up to the winter break and endorses the fact we're a winning club.

    So you would rather have money in the bank than another trophy?

    That money probably guarantees the 10..

    Just pulls us miles further away from them..

    The £20/30m over a league cup? Yes. The more money we have the more likely we’ll win the league and that’s the only trophy I really want.

    I wouldn't be too despondent if we didn't win it this year, it is fairly low on our list of priorities, just as long as those * don't win it. I couldn't deal with the media overreaction more than anything else.

    The team will never see that money though, any money invested will be covered by player sales as has been the case a while now.

    I want to win it . It gives the team a real boost as seen last year we went on to play our best football for a month that virtually won us the league

    Aye and then we'll lose a McGregor and Edouard and no replace them with the quality needed down the line. European football no only enables us to bring a better standard of player in, but also to keep our very best here..

    I was the same as you mate but we need that money to keep pulling away..
