Livi
Cove
Stranraer
Brora

Easiest draw for us with a chance of progress. Its a bit of a joke that 1st seeds always get a home tie v 2nd seeds though, just another example of Premiership bias.

Fairly sure East Kilbride is more than that.
7-800 I’m sure or do you mean how many tickets we would get?

We`ve knocked out the holders of the Scottish Cup this year. Opportunity to do the double.

The way this competition is set up is it inevitable that the Championship team will always play the Premiership team away from home? That`s the way it`s always been with us I think. In fact we may have beaten SM in Paisley a few seasons ago.

Remember losing to them through there in same comp a few seasons ago. Can’t remember a win….might be wrong…memory not what it was…

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

We did beat them in that cup I’m sure too, we were wearing a yellow away strip and we were 3-0 up at HT. Finished 3-2 and Andy Ryan and beadling were on the scoresheet. Would need to look it up to confirm.
