Saints to face Brechin

Last updated : 08 December 2008 By Stuart Gillespie
A first half hat-trick from Iain Diack proved to be more than enough to send Michael O'Neill's men through and set up the tie against Saints at Glebe Park on January 10. Can they follow in the footsteps of St. Johnstone, East Fife and Gretna and send us out of the cup amid much embarrassment? Probably. The worst thing that could happen is a draw at Glebe Park as the replay would be at Love Street after the "final" game against Motherwell!

It's a pity Edinburgh City didn't get through as it would have been fun going to Meadowbank, but it's still a reasonable tie (if it was any other SPL team). It's also been nice reading about other teams seeing a home game against us as an attractive reward for getting through!
