PREVIOUS SCOTTISH CUPS MEETINGS

Despite both clubs having long histories this is only the fourth time that we have been drawn together in the Scottish Cup.

The first meeting came in 1937/38 when we won 4-1 at Central Park. We then had to wait until 1982/83 for the next meeting when City won 2-0 at Glebe Park.

The last meeting in 2006/07 saw a 1-1 draw at Central Park before we won the replay at the Glebe 1-0 thanks to a Dougie Hill goal.
