Coming up at half two, with 12 teams in the draw. Celtic, Motherwell, Dundee United and Hibernian are all through, Ayr and Falkirk still have their first attempt to play while St Mirren and Ross County, Hearts and St Johnstone, and Aberdeen and Queen of the South have replays to negotiate.

Billy Davies doing the draw if I remember correctly

[Psychoheart]

Yeah, along with SFA President Campbell Olgivie.

almost guaranteed if Billy Davies doing the drae

[jaybee1978]

I'm just hoping Aberdeen win the replay and are in the draw proper.

[jimmy gomis]

Celtic. Lol. Ach well, we'll just have to do it the hard way this year.

[jimmy gomis]

Should be a cracking game between two great attacking teams.

[Elchappy]

hard game away to Utd but no fears. Pissed off we don't get the cahnce to make any money out of the cup so far as half share of gate will cover the cleaning ladies's wages for the month but not much else

[hoopz]

If you are on your game, we will be well beaten. We have to play something near to yesterday's level, and hope you have an off day. Stil, really looking forward to it.

[black dog]

Utd v Celtic will be a good game. When are the ties to be played?

[Laurie]

If we make it into the Quarter Finals then it's a decent draw for Hearts, considering it's at home and we avoided Celtic. Still wouldn't be easy, and to be honest I'd probably prefer St Mirren than County.

But I'm far from confident heading to Perth for the replay. We're generally pretty poor on the road, and severely lack firepower at the moment. St Johnstone are probably stronger away from home though, so I won't write off our chances completely, but based on our last performance at McDiarmid I won't be holding my breath for place in the next round...

That's Celtic's TENTH consecutive away Scottish Cup match (not including the neutral venue of Hampden), stretching back to a home tie against Queen's Park three years ago tomorrow. It's also their ninth consecutive cup draw away from home if you throw in the League Cup, with the last home tie being the 6-0 win over Inverness.

Annoying, slightly odd, but not improbable.

Had a feeling we were going to face Dundee United at some point, but I'd hoped it would be the final. Still, at least it's a venue I can get a ticket for off my own back and not have to call in favours like I did for Inverness!

[Charlie Bhoy]

Now there is a fuckin surprise...

[jaybee1978]

Motherwell away is tough if we get through. We still need to beat Queen of the South though and I'm hoping we get job done second time round.

[johnarob]

another tough draw ...but so far we've came up trumps and if we can maintain the form of late and IF united are not as good as they were yesterday then i'm fairly confident....but as has been said recently, united on their game can beat anyone and have match-winners aplenty

going to stick my neck out and go for the semi final teams as

Hibs
Motherwell
Celtic
St Johnstone

[Laurie]

The Quarter Final line-up is almost complete, just tomorrow's tie between Ayr and Falkirk to come.

Ayr or Falkirk vs Hibs
Dundee United vs Celtic
Hearts vs St Mirren
Motherwell vs Aberdeen

How does everyone feel now - who do you reckon will make it to the semi finals?

I have to say, I'd love to see an Edinburgh derby in one semi final, and Dundee United against Aberdeen in the other.

Sadly, I think Celtic will go through - and the semi finals will probably be contested between the holders, Hearts, Motherwell and....hmmmm....Hibs...?
