There was 3 at this stage last year (Celtic v Aberdeen, Utd v St Mirren and Sevco v Dunfermline)

Dundee v Celtic and Raith's trip to the Donnay Dome are certainly stick-ons for the telly but no idea for the 3rd game.

The thing is, Sevco aren't the "stick-on" many believe. Sure, it has a high probability of being picked but with two lower v Premier ties (Stranraer/Dunfermline v Utd and Queen of the South v St Johnstone) there's some doubt.

No arguing that Celtic are a stick-on simply because it's an away game for them.

But sky can't see beyond sevco, stupid idiots

You don't think Sky give a toss about Scottish football do you? They're there to make a profit for the Murdoch's and shareholders so they use the bigot brothers pound to boost their income. That they have to pay lip service to the rest of the Scottish game to do this is a necessary evil for them.

I predict:

Queen of the South, Rangers, Celtic, Hibs, Falkirk, Dundee Utd, Partick Thistle and Spartans.

In terms of TV, I think it should probably be Dundee-Celtic, Partick v St Mirren/ICT and Queen of the South v St Johnstone.

Tv should be Dundee v Celtic, QOS-Fermers and Pars (if they get through) v DU. Arbroath v Hibs would have been great tie at Gayfield too. But sky can't see beyond sevco, stupid idiots

Since the majority of OF fans prefer to watch their team from their local pub, their livingroom or jail cell the tv companies would feel obliged to cater for their largest club football viewers. Especially for the Rangers fans who walked away.

Folk honestly think Rangers-Wee Team isn't going to be on TV? They were drawn at home to Elgin and they televised it FFS!

Third game is a bit harder. Think if we get through then us vs United will have a decent chance. A decent draw for us, would be a big crowd and a good atmosphere. We'd get pumped silly of course but hey, we'll probably lose the replay now anyway :(

From an incredibly poor draw. Sky's second pick (after Celtic v Aberdeen) was Dundee Utd v St Mirren...

The reason I said there would be doubt is because of the two ties with Premiership teams away to lower league sides, one of which includes the holders in a potential banana skin.

Meh, should we beat stranraer we have little chance of progressing any further , as said theres a few pars connections up there and it be nice seeing back at EEP.

Financially , its ok and with a bit of luck we could get 5000 at the game but its not huge sums once everything its taken into account, that of course changes massively should it be a tv game which some have mentioned but personally i can't see it being picked.

The Sevco Killi game played in an near empty stadium must have put the knockers on a Raith Rovers game as a major tie.

Always a chance in any cup tie but beating the Dons and then Celtic on the way to a final is certainly going the hard way about it.

Sorry but Rangers v Raith Rovers is scandalous if that is getting tv coverage. Absolutely ridiculous.
