Derek McInnes understands Celtic frustrations with Betfred Cup issues

Derek McInnes has spoken about how he understands Celtic frustrations with the stadium situation for their Betfred Cup semi-final.

Celtic’s tie with Hearts has been moved to Murrayfield in Edinburgh over concerns about hosting two games on the same day at Hampden Park.

Police protests have forced the tie to be moved to Edinburgh, kicking off at 1:30 pm.

McInnes admitted he agrees that Celtic should be annoyed by the move.

He said, via the Daily Record:

I can kind of understand that to be honest.

I don’t know how they come to the conclusions. We were all struggling to know why they came to the conclusion last week. We just got told where our game would be and that’s all my concern is.

I would be happy playing in Glasgow or Edinburgh or wherever. Our concern is from a fans’ point of view and getting as many supporters there as we can.

These things are always difficult to please everyone but I can maybe understand if they’re not happy.

Celtic will now kick off at 1:30 against Hearts at Murrayfield, whilst Aberdeen take on Rangers at 4:30 at Hampden Park.
