the slots are not set in stone but you are right with how it will turn out.

Only thing that is not certain to guess is what two BBC will pick from Dundee derby, Hearts and Dons. I wouldn't be surprised by any 2/3 there.

Then when it comes back to Premier they wouldnt be certain to pick the third as they might look at St Johnstone Motherwell

Dundee Derby a stick on, Tord.

I think we’ll be selected.

I'd pick it first (not third) what a great fourth round tie! 

I'm just saying it wouldnt surprise me if it bizarrely ended up as the fifth pick.

The St Johnstone Motherwell comment was more about if Premier were left with Brechin Hearts / Elgin Dons of the what I would consider obvious 5 choices that they may throw that final curveball and not be arsed to set up tv at a ground not equipped.

Drawing Elgin City takes me back 

I was a young loon ( Aberdeen fan of course ) living in Elgin back in 1971 when we drew them at Pittodrie 

Great excitement in Elgin before the match. 

Went through on a Saturday morning to see the match it was a hell of a trek in those days on the old A96 

Unfortunately it was rained off. 

For some reason my dad didn't take me through for the replay 

Happy days

You’re basically saying that the BBC won’t select the Dundee Derby as one of their two picks though if you think about it.

Cant see it, Tord.

I suppose its hard to think about as bbc have not often been handed a tie like that. The year there was an Edinburgh derby Premier surprised everyone by picking it.

Ex- Dons Mark Gallagher & Michael Dangana in Elgin’s squad, along with that perennial hatchet man Ross Draper. 

Didn’t know Gallagher was ex-Don.  Tidy player and usually at the heart of anything they do. One paced though.

Was he not the lad we signed as a 19 year old from Ross County?

McInnes signed him?

Was always seen as odd because he’d barely played first team for them.

I suppose Premier could pick the Dundee Derby is slot 2, denying the BBC the chance, also knowing the BBC wouldn’t pick Huns v Broch, leaving Premier to select huns as 5th pick.

Elgin a well organised side these days, a definite threat from set pieces, hopefully not a repeat of last years fiasco

What a player 

Ally Shewan was Elgin captain that night

[Tord31]

Given we play the Wednesday before and the Saturday after and given the amount of money will be almost identical whichever day and ko time we have......

I don't think the club would push back against a proposed Monday night game.

Hope for Saturday though.

As a young loon , I went through to that game with my Father and Grandfather. Was gutted when we heard it was rained off eating lunch at the Dairy in Inverurie. I think Elgin had a big support travelling through that day but few made it back for the rearranged game. My Father and Grandfather reckoned Elgin would have won it on the day with the big travelling support but had little chance in the rearranged game midweek. Elgin City had a good team in those days.

Hearing it's likely to be Monday night.

Very surprised that Elgin V dons hasn’t been selected for tv coverage.

Agreed. Saturday 3PM.

if anything though, a kick in the teeth for Elgin. They would have thought it was nailed on for TV

The 5th tv pick surprised me.

1 Celtic Killie - not surprised

2 Dundee Dundee Utd - tiny bit surprised

3 - Brechin Hearts - not surprised

4 - Rangers Broch - slightly surprising

5 - Falkirk Raith - very surprising considering it was Premier 

[Pedge]

That’ll be an ace day out. Nice and easy right on the train route to Inverness. Hopefully easy enough to get a ticket.
