    JG: Typical Alfredo Morelos. He can't bully Andrew Considine so tries to dive and cheat for a penalty. So much for Steven Gerrard sorting his discipline.

    The welcome sunshine does offer some problems... the respective coaching staffs are shielding their eyes from the rays and it's difficult for those reporting to see exactly what's happening.

    Aberdeen v Rangers (13:30)

    Aberdeen manage Derek McInnes: "It's important for us to concentrate on the cup tie. Whether we go into this game in great form, or struggling at home, as we have done of late - it's not been an issue.

    "The evidence is there that we haven't been as free-flowing, we've conceded too many goals at home; our general performance hasn't been at the level we expect.

    "But that's for another day - this is a cup tie, a quarter-final against Rangers. The game itself will lend itself to an atmosphere and our fans will be charged and ready to get behind the team."

    Gail Sangster: Listening to the discussion about the atmosphere in football grounds. Recently been to ice hockey - fabulous family atmosphere, no segregation of fans and alcohol sold, yet no issues. Something has to change in football to make it safer and enjoyable for families.
