Scottish Cup draw: St Johnstone face holders Rangers as Dundee, Angus and Fife clubs discover their fate

St Johnstone will host current holders Rangers in a plumb Scottish Cup draw as Dundee and Dundee United discovered their Hampden fate.

Saints, who beat Gers 2-1 the last time the sides met in November, will have a chance to replicate their previous cup success over the Ibrox side.

St Johnstone are no strangers to Hampden having tasted double cup success during a memorable 2020-21 season.

And they dumped Gers out 4-2 on penalties en-route to that trophy win.

Callum Davidson’s fell at the first hurdle in the Scottish Cup the following year, crashing to a shock 1-0 defeat at Kelty Hearts.

Dundee United and Dundee Scottish Cup draw

Dundee United have lifted the Scottish Cup twice, in 1994 and 2010, and have been runners-up EIGHT times.

They will begin their road to Hampden at home to Lowland League side University of Stirling.

Dundee have won the famous trophy once, in 1910, but reached the final on four occasions with their last Hampden visit in 2003.

Gary Bowyer’s men were forced into extra-time by League One side Airdrieonians on Saturday.

But they ran out eventual 6-2 winners to clinch a fourth round trip to St Mirren.

Fife clubs Dunfermline and Raith Rovers will both be on their travels in the Cup.

Dunfermline have won the Scottish Cup twice, in 1961 and 1968, while Rovers were runners-up in 1913.

Pars will visit Partick Thistle while Rovers will travel to Linlithgow Rose.

Arbroath to host Motherwell

Arbroath have never reached the final of the Scottish Cup but the tournament is still engraved in their history.

Their 36-0 Cup win over Aberdeen Bon Accord in 1885 remains a world record victory to this day.

Lichties faced Hibernian last term in the Scottish Cup fifth round, taking the lead through Craig Wighton before falling to a 3-1 defeat.

Dick Cambell’s men, who saw off the challenge of Highland League side Fraserburgh on Saturday, will host Motherwell.

All ties will take place on the weekend of the 21st of January, with final dates to be confirmed in the coming days.

The final is later than usual this year, due to the World Cup break, on Saturday 3rd June 2023.
