Holders given away clash in Scottish Cup fourth-round draw
Holders Hibs will begin their defence of the William Hill Scottish Cup with a fourth round away clash against either Dumbarton or Bonnyrigg Rose.
The draw at Rugby Park last night handed the Junior outfit a massive incentive when they take on the Sons in their replay at the Cheaper Insurance Direct Stadium next week following Saturday’s 0-0 draw.
Hearts will travel to Championship side Raith Rovers, managed by ex-Jambos boss Gary Locke.
Celtic were drawn away to either Albion Rovers or Queen of the South, while Rangers host Motherwell and Kilmarnock face Hamilton in the only all-Premiership ties.
Spartans, who meet St Mirren in Paisley tomorrow night, would be rewarded with a trip to top-flight Dundee should they shock the Buddies.
