Juniors Meadow drawn away to Hibs

Active Nation Scottish Cup

Irvine Meadow have been rewarded for their third-round Active Nation Scottish Cup elimination of Arbroath with an away tie at Hibernian.

The Ayrshire junior side became the first junior side to defeat a senior club in the Cup when a Richie Barr goal sent the Red Lichties packing.

Hearts have been drawn away to Aberdeen, Morton or Dumbarton host Celtic and Rangers travel to Hamilton.

In another eye-catching fourth-round tie, St Johnstone are away to Forfar.

Prior to the draw at Hampden, Irvine Meadow general manager Ian McQueen described Saturday's win over Arbroath to BBC Scotland, a game played in front of 1,150 supporters.

"It was tremendous, there was a feeling of great achievement, great pride in the amount of work that has been put in by everyone connected to the club," he said.

"It was a tremendous response by the fans. I hope they continue to stick with us in big numbers."

In the third-round games still to be decided, Clyde's rearranged match with Livingston and Peterhead's home tie against Raith Rovers will take place on Tuesday evening.

And in Saturday's replays, Brechin take on Wick Academy and Dumbarton face Morton after draws last weekend, while Stenhousemuir will play Cove Rangers after their match was abandoned due to heavy fog.

Cowdenbeath will travel to Alloa on Tuesday 8 December after their third-round tie ended goalless at Central Park.
