It’s the day for Scottish football draws
After the excitement of the Euro 2012 draw, attention returns to the Scottish Cup. Dunfermline take on Celtic at East End Park and the draw will follow on Wednesday at Hampden Park, with Sky Sports and all the usual media comedy acts probably shoe horning it in somewhere.
5 of the 7 cup matches played yesterday were concluded so the draw is certainly clearer than the last round. Only two replays are required so St Mirren, Aberdeen, Rangers and Raith Rovers all remain in the draw even though two of these clubs will progress no further than the replay.
The teams that will be involved in the draw for the Active Nation Scottish Cup 6th Round draw are:
Dundee
Dundee United
Kilmarnock
Ross County
Hibs
Raith Rovers / Aberdeen
St Mirren / Rangers
And either Dunfermline or Celtic (or both if its a draw) depending on the outcome to today’s lunchtime match
Dunfermline v St Mirren would be a draw that many would love to see, me I would prefer Rangers v Celtic!
Can anyone outside the top two win the Cup this year? Hibs must be a decent bet outside of the two of them.
