Scottish Cup Third Round Draw on Saturday

Will we get a tie away from home to another SPL club? Will we be paired with a 'rabbit'? Will we get a home draw and be able to use a season ticket freebie? Will the game be a TV pick and be moved to the Sunday causing annoyance for all?

Since our famous cup win in 1991 we have had only four home starts in this round. Two of them were unsuccessful, against Rangers and Aberdeen, but we did have a cracking win against Celtic after a Coyne header and a brilliant triumph over Hearts. Our replay form has been good in case we draw this time, with three wins out of three in recent years.

3rd Round Cup Ties

1992 'Well 4 1 Ayr 1 (after 1 1 draw)

1993 'Well 0 2 Rangers

1994 'Well 1 0 Celtic

1995 Falkirk 0 2 'Well

1996 'Well 0 2 Aberdeen

1997 Partick 0 2 'Well

1998 'Well 1 0 Dumbarton (after 1 1 draw)

1999 'Well 3 1 Hearts

2000 'Well 2 0 Arbroath (after 1 1 draw)

2001 St Mirren 1 2 'Well

2002 Dunfermline 3 1 'Well

2003 Kilmarnock 0 1 'Well

2004 St Johnstone 0 3 ‘Well

2005 Kilmarnock 2 0 'Well

2006 St Mirren 3 0 'Well

We have a decent record since 1991 in the third round but our recent form has been poor. The loss at Killie a couple of years ago was bad enough and the dismal non-event of last year still causes nightmares for those unfortunate enough to be there.

There are twenty teams playing on Saturday in the second round and one or two could provide an interesting awayday!

Annan Athletic v Morton

Berwick v Arbroath

Brechin v Preston Ath

Cowdenbeath v Edinburgh University

Deveronvale v Fraserburgh

Edinburgh City v Stirling

Elgin v Buckie Thistle

Peterhead v Ayr

Raith v Dumbarton

Stranraer v Forfar
