Literally the worst draw ever made.

Ayr, Albion Rovers and Arbroath all out the hat consecutively. Then Montrose/Queens v Partick Thistle.  And Celtic Brechin. Do they actually mix them up?  I don’t mean get them mixed up, we already know that. Seem to be a good few teams with alphabetically similar starts to their names being drawn together.

Aye this seems to happen all too often. Hearts vs Hibs for the 3rd year in a row? What would the odds on that be?

Yup, complete garbage. Clubs from the same league playing each other in the cup happens far too much.

Absolutely abysmal draw. We'll probably get taken to a replay and then lose at Cappielow. Dire

Hearts vs Hibs, Fraserburgh vs Rangers and Celtic vs Brechin are probably your televised games. I'd rather they picked Aberdeen-St Mirren or Albion-St Johnstone than broadcast Celtic's reserves at home though. First two are absolute certainties.

TV picks will be interesting. 

Sevco are away, so Sky can't hold their game back and still get the Edinburgh derby. 

Celtic v Brechin would be an abomination of a pick.

Edinburgh derby and the two games featuring Rangers (BBC?) and Celtic (SS) NAP.  Mind the BBC picked our game against Celtic last season for some bizarre reason. If they don't take the Rangers game then they would almost certainly still go for Celtic I reckon.

Every year it's the same on here, shite draw, re-draw, same teams etc. Some seem pissed that they didn't get Real Madrid or PSG. Scottish teams in playing each other in cup shocker.

 

Motherwell-Accies should be on tv but it'll be, probably rightly given the romance aspect, Fraserburgh v Rangers.

If all three were the 4th round (I can't recall) then the odds three years ago of it happening three years in a row (if that makes sense) were 1 in 31 * 1 in 31 * 1in 31 = 1 in 29,791.

That is, before any draw was made Hearts (or Hibs) had a 1 in 31 chance of drawing Hibs (or Hearts) in that draw. So if we go back three years before all three draws were made, it's 1/31 throughout. Multiply in standard accumulator style.

BBC will pick Rangers since they are boycotting Ibrox they need to take whatever away tie they can get.

BBC can only pick Rangers if Sky don't pick them first.

But it would be a brave decision from Sky to pass the Edinburgh derby.
