As Ally McCoist famously asked while knowing the answer- who are these people?
Scottish football fans and society at large needs to know the identity of the people who decided to go ahead with two semi-finals at the same venue with just a couple of hours between matches.
If the semi-finalists had been St Johnstone, Motherwell, Ayr United and Hibs they might have managed to pull it off but with the teams that are involved a recipe for chaos or carnage has been created.
Has the approval of Police Scotland been given to paint supporters in a poor light to justify future legislation to crack down on fans?
Public transport in Scotland isn’t the greatest, especially on a Sunday.
Getting from Aberdeen to Hampden for a 12 noon kick off on a Sunday is impossible by public transport, getting home again marginally easier.
Glasgow city centre will really become a no-go area if the Betfred Cup semi-finals go ahead as planned.
Normally Celtic and Hearts fans would be arriving in the city centre from late afternoon before being funneled their separate ways to Hampden for a 7.45pm kick off.
On this occasion they will be joined by Aberdeen and Sevco fans returning from Hampden, emotional at the result of the first semi-final.
From a corporate box inside Hampden a full day of hospitality and junkets with a breather between matches then taxi home once the plebs have dispersed late at night has a certain appeal.
For Scottish football fans and wider society in Glasgow it is a decision that must be overturned, with the men that took this option kept well away from future decision making.
