    Good question. You would expect it to be on Monday but was on the Thursday after the last round. Nothing on SFA site, superb promotion of our national tournament!

    Considering that the actual fourth round takes place on January 9th, I'm going to make a bold prediction of January 9th at 5am. Actually, sorry - Sky need to tell us when Celtic's game is. January 7th then.

    In all seriousness I don't know but you can bet it won't be at a time of peak interest (i.e. immediately after the 3rd round games have completed) or on a time that's outside the blazers' working hours (probably 10-3, Monday to Wednesday). The previous season's fourth round draw took place the Monday after the third round ties so I would expect it within the next week.

    Thanks, had a look on the website and saw nothing, you're probably right though about them, although you'd have thought Ladbrokes would be wanting maximum publicity

    It won't be on the Saturday that's for sure. The Blazers wouldn't be able to organise a lavish lunch that day, it will be on the Monday around 14:00 after they've finished scoffing their food and drinking their free champagne.

    United we stand here....

    Remember going to watch the Rose in my younger days. Colin Sinclair was a favourite then.

    Hearts complained they got knocked out in the same year they won it and haven't won a game or scored a goal since.

    Just had a wee look online.

    They've won no games, scored no goals and conceded 12 since "that day"

    I'm sure they'll all say they'd rather have their 5-1 though

    LTHV away to Huntly. Anyone know much about the Highland league side? Are they one of the clubs in that league that are throwing money at the team?

    Huntly have been struggling recently and their manager has just quit after being on leave for personal problems for a while. Not sure exactly how strong the Highland League is but it'll be stronger than the East of Scotland League i'd think.

    Lothian will be in with a chance but the bookies seem to have made Huntly slight favourites.

    Lothian are 5/4 favourites with William Hill.

    Thanks.

    I know there is a **** load of cash being thrown around in the Highland League and I think Callum Antell signed for Nairn County for silly money. Wasn't sure if Huntly were doing this as well. Lothian have a cracking side and having disposed of Montrose in the previous round after a replay I think the bookies would be silly to write them off! I fancy Lothian for another win and hopefully draw a big club in round 4...

    Those who purport to rum our game could not promote two teams from a two team league where the top two go up

    Just phoned the SFA, got through to the right department at the 3rd time of asking and the draw will be made on -


    "well they don't know yet, it hasn't been decided, it will be soon and they will post it on the website as soon as they know"

    Unbelievable

    You're wrong. It is believable.

    The blazers probably haven't found a date where none of them are on holiday/"fact finding" overseas.

    I think they officially killed the cup.

    Even by SFA standards that is shocking. Never was the acronym for Stupid F****** A**holes more appropriate!

    They're more incompetent than the hierarchy of the Pub Leagues in England.

    Is it just me that thinks all teams participating should enter in the first round? Would be great for the game IMO even if it did provide some scheduling niggles.

    So would I. In fact I would take a 1-0 win against them in the final and then us never to score another goal in the cup for the rest of my days

    They haven't even kicked a ball in the competition in 2015! They were knocked out in Dec 2014 and won't play until Jan 2016.

    The games are on Saturday but they don't know when the draw is going to be. They couldn't run a bath.
