has rejected suggestions that Morton’s Betfred Cup semi-final with Aberdeen should not be played at Hampden. The tie has been scheduled for 12.15pm on Saturday, October 22, a decision which has angered Aberdeen, and some have suggested it should have been moved to either Easter Road or Tynecastle. But Morton boss Duffy said: ‘A national cup semi-final comes around once every 35 years for this club. We deserve a day at Hampden.’
