Bit gutted with that. Much needed big pay day for the club but the draw was really opening up. One pick away from Darvel/Falkirk at home and then the potential for Killie/Inverness in the semi. Not that we ever have a chance of winning it but rarely do the opportunities arise for a club of our size to make the semi’s/final.

Yeah when the Hearts v Celtic tie was drawn it was wide open. 

Suppose we could've gotten Rangers at home which would've been worse.

Aye really disappointing. Football is all about memories and the draw was opening up - a real chance of a trip to Hampden and a potential semi against a non 'top 6' (or even top flight!) club. 

The fact its going to make us a fair whack is a silver lining. Hopefully use it to tie down players and recruit well. So maybe the 'memories' can be made next year... but aye, shite.

Yeah, definitely. A pay day for us, particularly given reports in the last few months, is never a bad thing but just felt there was a sniff of at least the semi’s for us which doesn’t come around often.

Like you say, could have been worse, it wasn’t Inverness away and there was always the chance we could have got beat at home to Darvel/Falkirk which wouldn’t bear thinking about!

This. Three balls left and we just needed to avoid being picked for a cracking, winnable tie. Gutting.

Sure it’s a crowd and TV payday but realistically we’d have to perform out of our skins to win. Just hope that we can take a decent away crowd like Partick. The team deserve it.
