The flip side of that is that Dundee will visit Celtic for a third time, as the side finishing in sixth place it is deemed fairer that their fixtures are unbalanced rather than a higher placed club.
Unlike the corner given to away fans at Celtic Park the section for visiting fans at Ibrox has home supporters on all sides and also above within missile throwing range from the upper sections of the Broomloan Road and Govan Stands.
Losing the argument Spiers grabbed at the suggestion that Kenny Macintyre would never suggest a bias in favour of Celtic. Absolutely desperate stuff.
So, either Celtic are very, very unlucky to be drawn away or someone is making tricks behind the scenes. Seven years on the spin this club has been drawn away at that time of the season.
