This should make for an interestin matchup. Is there any internet radio links to listen to ANY of the Scottish Cup matches? Thanks.

Apparently Sky want to show live Scottish Cup ties on a Friday night! Can't see an Old Firm game being played on a Friday though!

With one of the OF getting knocked out it gives another team the chance to reach the final. :)

Celtic v Rangers

Oh yes bring it on!

I'll be there!

East Stand Loyal.

Huntly/East Fife - Dumfermline

I know, a possible Fife derby!:D

Still, a 0-0 draw up at Huntly was decent, considering waht they did to Peterhead. And a good incentive to play our Fife neighbours if we beat them.

Our proud 101 year record of never being beaten by a non-league side still stands aswell, quite outstanding I think everyone will agree.:)

Gretna - Dundee Utd

Jotters for McCall once his team get dumped out the cup then.

If not sooner :)

I seriously wouldn't be surprised if Gretna get a result there. I hope they do.

[Scottish_Morton]

Gretna weren't very impressive when they played us, they've improved a bit since then but I still can't see them being a problem for Dundee Utd.

They've hit a great run of form since then and Kenny Deuchar's gone goal crazy. If there's a chance of a 3rd division team putting out an SPL team, it dosen't get much better.

I see it as simialr to Morton vs Livvy.

[CW1980]

Yeah, Gretna are doing very well at the moment, and although the Arabs won yesterday, if they have a bit of a bad run between now and early next month, a few nerves could set in.

As for the Old Firm game, I believe Lennon is suspended (I think he was booked once too often by sectarian/racist referees during last season's Cup run...). Would be nice to get a win at Breezeblock Boulevard and if we do, it'll be the quadruple for the Bears and the dole queue for O'Neill.

Gretna away, not a bad draw for us, should be a good day out, anyone know the capacity of their ground?...i see us winning this quite comfortably, aye theyre top of division 3 with a wee bit of money but we should be looking to win 3-4 nil...should be a class day out like huntly away in 95 :D...

Good that the old firm are paired also...gives every other team a real chance!

[Gordon EF]

Raydale Park holds 2200. The number of home fans depends a lot on wheather Carlisle Utd are home or away I beleive but I'd imagine it will be a se;;-out.

I'm not too sure about you lot winning comfortabley. They are 3rd division but their record, especially at home, is impressive.

p.s. Huntly is a good away trip.:D

[Scottish_Morton]

The view at Raydale Park is probably the worst i've experienced! It's a nice wee place though. Was a good day out in their first game in Scottish football, I think the temperature being in the high 80s helped though :D

I wonder if a second division team has ever outnumbered the fans of an SPL team at their ground before? Sure to be a possibility for Morton against Livi. I can't imagine them having more than about 2000 against a second division team when season tickets aren't valid and I imagine Morton will bring about that number. Pity we will lose though:(

Aye the view is shite because you're at ground level.

And I think there's a good chance that some 2nd division teams have out-numbered Premier teams in the cup, probably loads of times. These games are never attractive to SPL sides and quite a few of them take less than impressive away crowds. When we were in the 3rd divsion, we got Motherwell in the cup and I'm sure we outnumbered them that night. Also, it's fairly probable that we'll outnumber the Pars if we get through to the 3rd round. With both sides being equal, the directors box is on the away side so if we fill our end, we'll always outnumber the away crowd.

I wouldn't be too certain about losing to Livi, they're dreadfull.

What I meant was at their own ground. We outnumbered Partick at Cappielow last season, and we outnumbered Motherwell this season (wasn't hard, they brought about 200 fans!). I actually wouldn't be surprised if only about 1000-1500 livi fans turned up. Also they will soon find their place below the SPL, without the investment they had their crowd numbers can't sustain a premier league side for long.

And we could beat them but i'm not getting my hopes up after games against Dundee Utd, Partick and Motherwell went horribly wrong in the last year and a half. Although we weren't really outplayed in any of the games.

Oh right, my mistake, I thought the game was at Cappielow.

[Scottish_Morton]

East Fife scrapped through on penalties against Huntly and Berwick beat Dumbarton 3-1 to complete the draw.
