Christ, in that sense its a downer for you, having said that, Fir Park is easier for you, its shaving a few miles off going over to 'Auld Reekie"!! as you're aware if sky say we play at midnight on a Tuesday then so be it, we (the SPL) tried to hoodwink sky into more money in 2000 (even though the English werent watching the matches barring the OF games) and got their fingers burnt and ended up with peanuts off setanta and the BBC, so its 'touch yer toes time' for the SFA 
the money is key!!
its got me wondering, i think the last old firm game on a Saturday afternoon at 3pm was in 1998 when we won 2-0 at ibrox.. crazy what money has done
The old firm game on a friday night in late March looks a cert..

It isn't being moved for TV coverage, they're just trying something different - Aberdeen-Dunfermline was shifted last month and a got an above-average crowd.
What Rantic do benefit from is that, bar the OF games, 99% of home games are 3pm on a Saturday, whereas we've had the delights of 12pm on Saturday's and Sunday's etc, which are an absolute pain to get to.
Usually go on the train to Motherwell but we have to change at Glasgow these days whereas a couple of years ago there used to be a direct service from/to Wigan, so we could have a couple of pints in Motherwell before getting the train back and still be in the Moon for half 8!
