It is almost time for Premiership sides to enter the 2024/25 Scottish Cup.
The third round of the famous old competition has been played over the weekend just past and there was just one fixture to be concluded tonight with Mick Kennedy’s East Kilbride from the Lowland League taking on Championship leaders Falkirk this evening.
There was no cup shock to be had with John McGlynn’s team winning 3-1 at K Park, Callumn Morrison putting the seal on it with a late clincher.
It is now time for the Premiership sides coming in and all of the other teams to discover who they will play next.
Some of the smaller sides looking to land a plum tie will be East of Scotland League outfit Musselburgh Athletic after their win over Bo’ness United while Lowland League Broxburn are in the hat after beating League Two Stranraer.
Last season’s semi finalists Aberdeen and Hearts will be looking to go one better this time around while Hibs will also be hoping a cup run can shine light on their campaign after showing signs of revival with results against the Dons and Motherwell.
