Scottish Cup Second Round Draw

The much anticipated draw for the 2020/21 season’s Scottish Cup Second Round was played out at Hampden Park on Monday evening.

Host Luke Shanley was joined by former Heart of Midlothian defender Andy Webster to draw out the ties.

The former Scotland international lifted the Scottish Cup twice, once with Hearts and once with Dundee United.

Speaking of his memories of the competition, Webster said: “When you get the opportunity to play in a cup final and you know what it means to the club, the fans and everyone working behind the scenes too, it’s special to play your part in it for them to try and give something back.

“The pressure ahead of cup games is always something you enjoy as a player. It’s why you play football and particularly when you play in finals it’s something you put so much in to and makes it all the more special if you can get your hands on the trophy.”

He added: “It’s just great to have football back and the Scottish Cup is a massive showpiece. It’s the romance of the cup too when teams who perhaps think they’re a million miles away get a clash against a bigger team for the chance to progress and I can’t wait to see what the 2020/21 competition has in store.”

44 teams went into the mix and will compete in the 20 ties, with four games still to be completed following postponements.

The ties will be played on Saturday, 9 January.

Fans reacted as the Scottish Cup Second Round Draw was made…

@Thejamtarts51: Our game could be picked for the tv

@iainmcmenemy: Some really good ties in there, stinks if fans can’t get along to watch

@real_martinrich: Good draw! Stand outs for me are Buckie v ICT, Camelon/Brora v Hearts, D. Bluebell/QP v QoS, and of course Formartine v Annan

@DerekLawler3: Wonder what tie @BBCScotland pick for live coverage. Then from round 3 whoever #celtic and #rangers get they’ll be the live @PremierSportsTV games, #beeb will get the other 2 live ties

@AyrDelighted: The @ScottishFA need to revise the cup format after this season so that we get a draw like this every year. Too often, before, teams ended up playing the same old teams. This is a cracking draw

@stuart_wyllie: Decent draws for Tranent and Bonnyrigg #ScottishCup

@HighlandWeekly: Fraserburgh vs Banks of Dee should be a #ScottishCup classic. Nairn County, Keith and Formartine will fancy an upset on home soil against Montrose, Clyde and Annan. Huntly face Dumbarton away if they can beat Cumbernauld Colts.

@HighlandWeekly: Some belting ties in the #ScottishCup. Buckie Thistle at home to Inverness Caley Thistle is a cracker, just a shame no fans are allowed in. Brora (if they get past Camelon) will go up against last season’s runners up Hearts . And Ayr United won’t fancy Elgin City away

@krys1888: Hearts will be on the tv again.

@Stato_Grant: Plenty of juicy ties here including some barnstormers for the north clubs.

Great draw for winners of @Camelonjuniors v @brorarangers and @BonnyriggRose v @BonessUnited_FC, great reward for @TranentJRs_FC get a crack at League 1 @EastFifeFC, @LinlithgowRose will go to Angus again v @ForfarAthletic but tie of the round, @ICTFC trip to @BuckieThistle?
