Strapp should be ok for tonight. The rules allow three bookings before a suspension if a team has entered at round 3.
Unless there’s a rule that you have to have been signed by round three.
Fingers crossed

Blues had one of his anonymous games yesterday, which was disappointing.
Alan Power was everywhere and constantly on the ball

A benefit compared to what alternative schedule exactly?
All this seems to be you slithering further and further away from the description of Inverness being a 'huge' league game among all the other huge league games we'll have this season i.e. every, single one.
God knows how you get to sleep at night with this non-stop excitement.
A benefit compared with playing on the Saturday as playing on the Saturday means less recovery time.

We're not playing two games in three days.
Inverness at home is clearly not a 'huge' game unless every single one of our next 13 league games is also 'huge'. Which renders the term completely meaningless.
Do you think it could be a benefit to be playing on the Monday after matches on the Saturday and Tuesday?

Tuesday-Monday is the only relevant factor, we would be playing a league game on the Saturday before regardless.
An extra day or rest after two games in three days is the relevant factor

By that definition, every league game is 'huge' between now and the end of the season. Which makes the description completely meaningless then.
Back in the real world, there's a clear difference between the level of focus, preparation and mental drain that taking down the current league leaders at home would demand, as opposed to a completely run of the mill league match where we have a chance to stick a fork in things in the second half - though only if we perform well of course.
The point though is that i’m sure you’d concede that it’s a benefit having extra recovery time by playing Saturday- Tuesday- Monday.

In what bizarre, alternative universe is Inverness a 'huge league match'?
The scheduled time is not the end of the world for me personally but it will clearly impact many others, as well as the club through hospitality and external businesses. The bigger issue that should be getting raised is the BBC/SFA ripping the pish with their scheduling on grounds of principle.
Scottish Cup ties are drawn to be played on the weekend of X/Y Z month. A Monday night at 7:45 is quite simply not the weekend of anything. It's not Sky throwing their weight around to make it happen either here - the BBC's contribution to Scottish football is relatively small change which should not award them the right to set a gubbins timeslot that is patently not suitable for any other party involved in the event.
The BBC have of course routinely forced seaside league diddy outfits like 'Clyde' to traipse out at their beck and call in previous rounds. The much more prestigious and high profile Quarter Final stage is an ideal moment for both The Famous and Hearts to openly criticise this nonsense.
It’s hugely important we get the three points as we push for top four.
The point stands that the match being played on Monday gives us more of a chance due to the extra recovery time.

Given we have two huge league matches with ICT on the Saturday then Dundee Utd three day later it’s great the team have that extra recovery time with the cup game on the Monday

Now that the dust has settled on a brilliant night last night, depending on the draw, it would be a nonsense if the capacity was 6700.
A couple of things could help.
Firstly the main stand could be for home fans only.
Secondly, if fans moving to the cowshed in rain is really a concern ( which seems mad as we have had much bigger crowds over the years without this being an issue) how about asking fanbase to have a Sinclair St option ?
They could enter via the reopened turnstiles , with maybe a metal barrier/stewards as soon as you go through to stop moving over.
Or if fanbase can’t do this, paper tickets for Sinclair St.
Say we drew Killie at Cappielow , we’d be shooting ourselves in the foot to limit the crowd to less than seven thousand.
So, home fans only in the stand and seperate tickets for Cowshed or Sinclair St.
Thoughts?

I really like Robbie Crawford and good luck to him if he gets a move where he can improve his income. It’s a short career, he won’t be on a fortune at Morton and he has done really well for us.
From a fan’s perspective it feels disappointing as it looks increasingly difficult trying to build a really good squad . One step forward and two back.

I see that fans without season tickets can now buy e-tickets .
Has anyone tried it ? Did it work ok ?
if it works then it saves fans queuing at the ticket office , which is a good thing .
