Farcical Scottish Cup draw changes Dundee and Dundee United’s destiny

Rangers and Kilmarnock’s fifth round tie had also gone to a replay after the 0-0 draw and the team that progresses will be at home to the victor of Dumbarton and Dundee’s replay.

A ball accidentally opened during the initial draw, which had seen Dundee United pitted against Celtic before the cock-up, report the Daily Record.

After finally getting going again the re-run saw holders Inverness handed a tough tie with a trip to either Hibernian or Hearts.

Finally, Ross County host Dundee United with the ties to be played over weekend of March 5 and 6. I was happy with a home tie, although we have to knock out Kilmarnock first and any team at this stage you would be looking for a home tie.

“I was at the East Kilbride game and I know it’s hard for Celtic because it’s a no-win for them because people are expecting double figures – but I just felt they were lacking something”. We still need to go and take care of them and hopefully get to the semi-final. “Defeat was unthinkable. Regardless of the scoreline we wanted to get through the tie, we have done that, we’ll have a good week’s training this week and be ready for Ross County on Saturday”.
