Not quite a preview: League Cup Quarterfinal
By: Ian Rose | October 27th, 2008I’m not going into a huge amount of detail tonight, as I’m embroiled in other sporting matters, unrelated to Caley and even to football, but tomorrow, I assure you that my full attention will be on the quarterfinal league cup matchup between our beloved Caley Thistle and the Bairns of Falkirk. We are both of us teams that need a lift, that could use a semifinal berth to lift the spirits of a disappointing run of league play. On form, this one is hard to call. We’ve already beaten the Bairns in Falkirk once this season, 2-1 on goals from Cowie and Imrie. But the 2-1 scorelines have been a bit less on our side of late, losing by that line exactly in three league matches running. They, on the other hand, are coming off of an away win at Kilmarnock that took them off of the bottom of the league table, and in fact puts them even on points with Caley.
This is a hard one to call, but the Caley Thistle have been to three league cup quarterfinals in their history, and all have ended in the wrong column for us. Will we be fourth time lucky? Considering that both of the Old Firm are still alive in this tournament, we certainly can’t blame the draw if we don’t make it.
Mon the Caley.
