28 sept. 2018 - Playing both Scottish League Cup semi-finals at Hampden on the same day is the "craziest thing", "beyond belief" and "madness", says Hearts manager Craig Levein.

Description:

"We are actually discouraging fans to come to the game," Levein said.

"It's absolute madness. I just don't understand how they can think it's all right. It just doesn't compute with me.

"I have got players talking to me about how disappointed their families are that they can't come and watch their dad playing in a semi final."

In an impassioned news conference, Levein said:

-The blame falls "fair and square at the feet" of the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) and chief executive Neil Doncaster;
-It is "not true" to say it is the best solution as it does not suit fans of any of the four clubs;
-That having 100,000 fans in Glasgow on the same day "could go wrong";
-Hearts want 50% of the tickets, but might not sell them;
-It is not too late to change the schedule and that Hearts' Scottish Premiership meeting with Celtic the following weekend could be postponed.
