Kilmarnock, Hamilton and Partick Thistle discover their Scottish Cup fate as Charlie Mulgrew makes third round draw
KILMARNOCK and Hamilton Accies have both been handed tricky away days in the draw for the third round of the Scottish Cup.
Tommy Wright’s men head to Firhill to take on League One leaders Queen’s Park after all 20 clubs from the Championship and League One entered the competition.
And Accies – the other team relegated from the Premiership in the summer – travel to take on Ayrshire aces Auchinleck Talbot.
Elsewhere, Arbroath tackle Forfar in an Angus derby, Partick Thistle face fellow Championship cracks Dunfermline, Queen of the South make the long trip to play Cove Rangers, while Falkirk host Raith Rovers in what likely be a bit of a grudge match following last year’s SPFL vote debacle.
