The Scottish Cup fourth round draw took place this morning and set up a repeat of last season’s final

Dundee United and Ross County, who contested last year's Scottish Cup final, will meet at the fourth-round stage of this season's tournament.

There is a tie which could be called the Brian Jackson Derby, with First Division Dundee under his control at the moment while they are in administration against the side Jackson helped through a similar spell, Motherwell at Dens Park.

The Old Firm were given mixed ties, Celtic were drawn away to Berwick Rangers, with the Borderers looking to repeat their feat of 1967 when they overcame the other half of the Old Firm.

Rangers have been drawn at home to Kilmarnock in one of two all premier ties, with Hearts taking on St. Johnstone in the other.

Three no-league sides were in the fourth round draw with Buckie Thistle being drawn awau to East Stirling. The other two have replays to negotiate first, If Threave Rovers can progress past Stenhousemuir, they will play host to Third Division leaders Stranraer. While Beith from the Ayrshire Juniors will face a trip to Morton if the get past Airdrie.

 All in all it is an interesting draw with plenty of opportunities for giant killing, with East Fife probably not fearful of a trip to Pittodrie at the moment!
