Re-arrange these words.....pish, utter. That's three cup ties in a row we've had Brechin. Last season's Scottish, the Challenge cup on Saturday and now this.
oops, looks like the name has been changed from the cis cup to the co-operative insurance cup. and yet another job for yankhibee. edit thread title.
Tuesday 5th August - First Round Albion Rovers 0 Raith Rovers 0 Raith win 4-3 on pens. CB Ian Davidson was sent off in the 78th min but Raith put out 3rd div Albion on pens.

Dumbarton 1 (Logan 115) Annan Athletic 1 (Jack 103pen) Dumbarton win 5-4 on pens. after scoring twice at the weekend in their impressive SFL debut, Mike Jack gave Annan the lead from the spot but Ray Logan's first goal for Dumbarton sent the match to pens and they won through.

DUNFERMLINE ATHLETIC -v- ALLOA ATHLETIC 12. BRECHIN CITY -v- KILMARNOCK went for a couple of shocks. yes i do believe if Hibs win a game in August it'll be a shock...
i see Celtic, Motherwell and Queen of the South have been given bye's for obvious reasons but why have Rangers been excluded from the draw...
You're about one comment from a trolling red card, old man. It'll only be somewhat surprising if Hibs win.
haha sir minty already has about 5 headless chicken/target-men i don't think he needs another, especially a RoI international
Co-operative Insurance Cup third-round draw: Dundee United v Airdrie United Partick Thistle v Rangers Motherwell v Hamilton Academical Morton v Inverness CT Falkirk v Queen of the South Kilmarnock v Aberdeen Celtic v Livingston Dunfermline v St Mirren
Co-operative Insurance Cup third-round draw: Dundee United v Airdrie United Partick Thistle v Rangers Motherwell v Hamilton Academical Morton v Inverness CT Falkirk v Queen of the South Kilmarnock v Aberdeen Celtic v Livingston Dunfermline v St Mirren i'd imagine us v Livingston will be on the season ticket. hopefully we won't have a Velicka-esque performance from any Livi striker that would see us spiraling out of another cup competition from a home defeat ala last season.
