Brilliant. :greengrin
The jambos will be spitting teeth and blood.
I think we need to be careful here. Alloa were clearly capable of dealing with the Famous and they are no mugs :agree:
So at the start (in normal times) they’re all on £80K for losing at this stage but the team with their tie on the TV loses out in gate receipts while the non TV game clubs score the £ for having a bigger attendance than they would if they were on the TV?
If that’s right, our clubs are run by bigger fuds than I thought.
Good draw for us
Excellent draw - Alloa being the least in form team available. Also nice to see two in-form teams below us in Dunfermline and St Johnstone getting drawn against each other.
No limit to how many games at a certain stadium can be shown. Yes, that’s a breakdown of prize money, every home game televised the club receive a one off payment also.

Last seasons press release but there is a reason it is called ‘betfred cup prize and TV money’.
Don't like it. It's a no win situation - if we win it's just Alloa, if we lose then we've lost to Alloa. Their atrocious pitch is a shambles and levels the playing field to some degree as they're used to playing on their random bounce arena. We may be fearful of playing someone like Boyle on it as well.
Would have loved Alloa at home but it just goes to show what an unfair advantage a plastic pitch is.
Chickens counted here.
A 2 in 3 chance of avoiding Rangers in the Semi Final
Can’t argue with that draw. It will probably be a tough game due to the pitch but one we should win.
