So today live on Ssn @2pm the draw will be made with Gary Anderson in attendance.

Who do people think we will get drawn against and who do you want to meet

Personally I reckon we will get Dundee Utd at home but wouldnt mind a wee away trip to Falkirk/Raith

Whats everyone else thinking

GOOD DRAW  and  winnable as well home game common ict lets get back to hampden  twice in the same cup would be great  

Good in that it is at home but Raith will be a very difficult challenge. Looking forward to it.

Shows you take nothing for granted,I have a shipmate who is a Dundee Utd fan,got his wish by avoiding us but a wee bit miffed by drawing Celtic. I would say we have a lot to look forward to now

 

ICT v Raith

QotS v Falkirk

Hibs v Spartans/Berwick

United v Celtic

 

 

Blimey, what were the chances of that? 

 

1/1680 - the same as any other draw!

For those who were keen for a trip to Ainslie Park this season, I see we're playing Hibs there tomorrow in the U20s!

Couldn't of asked for a much better draw really, more than pleased with how it turned out, a game that we should and can win, and the other 2 top flight clubs playing against each other

We might not get on the TV, but if we get to the semis then I think that's where the big bucks are.  Doesn't all the cash from the two games get shared between the four semi finalists?

 

Make no mistake, this cup run is important for the bank balance.  After all, we were barely in the black last season despite reaching the League Cup final.

Will it be in the Saturday or Sunday?

Will it be in the Saturday or Sunday?

Almost certainly...

The only downside is that a shock in the Hibs game is unlikely, very unlikely, and there will still be another Prem team in the next round, could be a tough semi but roll on the Raith Game!

I'm happy with the draw.

Still a tough game but not bad at all.

United v Celtic is a big boost to the remaining teams.

Should be a winnable game but we need to watch as Raith are a decent side coming into form, even when they are not playing the dysfunctional Southsiders.

 

If I get north for the game it'll be the first time I've ever booed Raith winger Grant Anderson who had two excellent seasons at, ahem, Kirkie Rob Roy.

Genuinely don't think we could have asked for a better draw..  as long as we play like we did in the first half against Partick then we should be well on our way to a semi-final. 

We were all pretty confident when we got a home draw in the quarter finals this time last season, and look what happened to us! Let's use that as a lesson / motivation not to repeat the same mistakes this year.

Last year we had the distraction of a cup final 7 days later, united didn't, we also had a mid week game to squeeze in too.

Our draw was quite predictable - obviously we were destined for the Sevco ball, but they failed to follow the script and got beat and SFA didn't have time to re-jig it!

 

Only surprise was they made the mistake of picking our ball out first so we had a home tie . . . 

I doubt we could have hand-picked the draw any better!

We've played Raith in the Scottish Cup once before and won 2-0 at home - on the way to the (Dundee) semi-final.

The only other cup meeting between the teams was a Challenge Cup game were we beat them, before going on to win that cup itself - so good omens!

Without taking anything for Granted, Raith will be tricky opponents, getting this close to the semi final makes me reflect on how far we have come since our last semi finals when we were massive underdogs not only against Dundee but against the mighty Dunfermline.

Raith are unbeaten since 27th December 2014. Malpass joined them on the 26th!!!!   http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30604216

That's a very good point. This would be our first Scottish Cup semi as a 'top flight' side. I remember the chants to the Dunfermline fans of "SPL, you're having a laugh!!"

Missed the draw. Who did C*unty and Aberdeen get?

I believe County are hoping to draw a Highland League team in their next round.

That's a great draw for us. Raith are no mugs and will be well prepared for the game but notwithstanding that, we should win the game if we play to our strengths.  Hopefully we have learnt the lesson from going out to The Rangers in the other cup.  Getting to the semi-final would mean a real chance to lift the cup together with the financial benefits for the club.  There are incentives all round and there really should be no slip ups.  Bring it on!

Absolutely DD. We must not make the mistake of being complacent.

 

All out croim the start and build up a nice 3-0 lead by half time would be  good entertainment eh?

Raith Rovers fans on P & B saying that the game isn't on TV so I guess that's a 7th March 15:00 kick off then?
