The 3rd Round of the Scottish Cup paired us with SPL team Livingston
Not a great draw for the Ton. Of all the SPL teams we could have gotten Livvy were probably the ones to avoid - little or no attraction in the tie - Their support has dwindled recently meaning that the usual cash boost from drawing an SPL side is unlikely to materialise.
The draw does pit a former hero of the cowshed Derek Lilley against us - Im sure Derek will be given a warm reception by the traveling fans.
Other major news in the draw is that Celtic & Rangers have been pitted against each other (cue scenes of mass hysteria from the press and MP's looking to get their name in the press.)
Full draw is
Montrose v Queen of the South
Kilmarnock v Motherwell
Raith Rovers v Alloa Athletic
St Mirren v Hamilton Accies
Celtic v Rangers
Clyde v Falkirk
Arbroath v Aberdeen
Dumbarton or Berwick Rangers v Brechin City
Gretna v Dundee United
Huntly or East Fife v Dunfermline Athletic
Ross County v Airdrie United
Hibernian v Dundee
Inverness CT v St Johnstone
Partick Thistle v Hearts
Livingston v Morton
Ayr United v Stranraer
Tie to be played on January 8th 2005
