I’ve wondered about them with their well publicised Old firm allocation for home games.

Strike me as a club that if they do fall through the SPL trapdoor you wouldn’t see them back up. 

I hope if they do fall through, they go straight to the lowland league, the only club out of the arse cheeks that I actually despise

Just to build on what a couple of others have alluded to above: Livingston away is a rather underwhelming tie, but it also has the potential to be a valuable training exercise for our squad. If we end up in the playoffs, this is *exactly* the standard of opposition we will have to beat if we want to go up.

If I could have picked the one tie I didn’t want it would have been Livi away.

The biggest Meh draw possible, fucking plastic team, can't wait until they actually go bust for the final time

On the other hand, the options we had when we were drawn were:

Airdrie, Alloa, Buckie Thistle, Celtic, Dumbarton, Forfar, Hibs, Livi, Motherwell, Partick, Rangers, Ross County, St. Johnstone.

Thats 7 Premiership teams, 2 Championship, 1 League One, 2 League Two and 1 non-League. So we had a 50% chance of a Premiership team where we were selected, and we got the weakest one. Airdrie and Partick would likely be more of a challenge than Livi, and the lower teams would all quite possibly be a ticket allocation below what we would likely bring if we were drawn away to them. Meh it may be, but all our fans will likely get tickets and we should be able to win it at the Spaghettihad, even if it is a soulless mausoleum.

Now all we need is M8/9 road works at the M90 announced for the weekend of Jan 20/21!

Feel like drawing Livingston in this cup is becoming a fairly common occurrence - must be the third time in the last four/five years?

I don't think we have much to fear and I'm sure we can take them if we play as well as we know we can. Glad Hamilton is signed permanently rather than on loan, I reckon he could be vital.

I’d have taken any of those at home, even Livi. Preferred away day out of that lot would have been St Johnstone. Livingston it is, though. What can you do? Hopefully we get the win this time.

I think this is the best episode of the podcast so far, if anyone hasn't listened yet but is considering jumping in. 

I concur. The Podcast has been fantastic with great pacing, discussions and humour. It's also very engaging, the hour or so just flies in.

In Benidorm having a romantic lunch with my wife. Lovely wine and fabulous food. Staring into her beautiful eyes I suddenly start singing the Dylan Easton song. Am I broken?
