Saints will batter you (I thought it was all going swimmingly when Stokes scored after less than a minute on Tuesday!)

Aye but when we play them they will be up against a decent team with a decent manager.

Celtic and Rangers have been drawn against each other on a multitude of occasions in both cup competitions, before the final, over the last decade.

The league table says otherwise, but I suppose the only thing you've got as an Arab is positivity

Well, over the last five or six years, I can think of two meetings at the last eight stage of the CIS Cup and two early stage Scottish Cup meetings, one in the last eight and one in the last sixteen.

That is quite a high rate for early meetings and I dare say fans of the two clubs thought it was a fix to get the traditional small club in the final.

How many times have Dundee United and Dundee been drawn together in that same period, in those early stages of the competitions?

Whilst that was a bit of a low blow, the point you make is a good one. Rangers and Celtic traditionally go the furthest in the Cup competitions and therefroe have far more chance of being drawn against each other than Dundee United and the wee team from across the street.

Sadly we have not been drawn against the Dees nearly enough as it represents our only chance of a decent derby game at the moment.

Judging by what they did to the sheep in midweek, it's probably for the best
