Andre Villas-Boas and Marcello Lippi will be drawing the next round of the Scottish Cup at 2.30pm today.

What draw do you want for your team? Nice easy home draw against lower opposition? Or a big derby clash?

Personally, at this stage, I'd just like a draw to give us the best chance of progressing to the next round, and whilst many will joke that a tie against Hibs would be that draw, I don't really agree.

One of the lower league sides at Tynecastle would do me nicely, although I'd also quite fancy an away trip somewhere different.

The teams in the draw are:

Rangers

Celtic

Aberdeen

Hearts

Hibernian

St Johnstone

Motherwell

Dundee Utd

Inverness CT/Dunfermline

Kilmarnock/Dundee

St Mirren/Hamilton

Morton

Ayr United

Ross County

Queen of the South

Falkirk

In fact, looking at the teams, and with our away record, I definitely want a home tie!

[craig]

That is a strange choice for making the draw.

I would prefer a home tie against anyone apart from hearts or Celtic at this stage of the competition.

They are both in the country speaking to the SFA's UEFA Pro License course candidates.

anyone at home.

I'd also love another Edinburgh derby, at Tynecastle. I know I stated in the initial post that I don't think such a game would be easy, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love it. Just to get that straight...

There aren't really any easy draws in the hat, although after the close match we had with Talbot, I don't know if there is such a thing as an easy tie...

[sheeptastic]

not Rangers or Celtic, in fact could we have an old firm tie PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?

Home tie against Morton or Queen of the South is what you want, but as Laurie says there isn't really an easy one in there.

they would certainly be the easier ties, but they could also be the banana skin, although you weigh that up with the home tie.

The draw is about to start!

[hoopz]

[Laurie]

[Laurie]

Ayr Utd v Falkirk

A bit of a dull draw to be honest.

Glad to have avoided the Old Firm, and to have a home tie, but Saints are a decent team, and tend to do well on their travels.

[douglasta]

Hearts
Rangers
Aberdeen
Motherwell
Celtic and
Hibs

to go through?

Would like to see that headline again but I doubt it..."Super Caley go ballistic, Celtic are atrocious"

[douglasta]

Last 2 games difficult to predict...could go either way.

its not the fear of losing to them, its the fear of butchers hatchet men , even more so with the samaras saga.

that headline wouldnt appear anyway if caley won, only did because they were in a lower division.
