Like so many competitions across the world, the Scottish Cup has been forced to make a number of changes to the format due to the ongoing pandemic.
This season there will be no replays any matches, with the outcome of any drawn match being determined by extra time and penalties, should it be needed.
The number of substitutions permitted in a match has been reduced back to three, with an additional one permitted in any period of extra-time.
From this stage, clubs drawn to play against a Premiership team must test staff for Covid in line with SFA protocols.
