Scottish football was battling an outbreak of draws after a midweek round in which Hearts drew with Rangers, Celtic drew with Dundee United, Hibs drew with St Mirren and St Johnstone drew with Motherwell — the last of those in the 93rd minute, because Perth cannot do anything the easy way.
Only Falkirk and Dundee won, prompting fears that winning may become “a regional thing”.
“We advise clubs to keep their distance, avoid crowded penalty boxes and, if symptoms persist, shoot,” said a spokesperson for the Perthetic’s sports medical desk.
This weekend’s League Cup semi-finals — Rangers v Aberdeen on Saturday and Hearts v Hibs on Sunday — are expected to be immune, since somebody has to go through. Probably. There’s always penalties.
