  2. Expectation on Aberdeen, says Goodwinpublished at 17:13 British Summer Time 24 July 2022

    FT: Aberdeen 3-0 Raith Rovers

    Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin on BBC Radio Scotland: "Of course, we're first and foremost delighted to still be in the cup. We did it in a professional manner, I felt, both here today and in the previous fixtures.

    "The level of expectation will obviously be on us, being the Premiership team. We have to show the same level of professionalism and application that the boys have shown up to now against lower league opposition

    "We'll go there (to Annan Athletic) and hopefully give a good account of ourselves."

  3. Tasty tiespublished at 17:07 British Summer Time 24 July 2022

    Some interesting ties there. An all-Premiership match-up between Livingston and Dundee United, another in Dingwall for holders Celtic's trip to face Ross County and a third between Heart of Midlothian and Kilmarnock in Edinburgh.

    Championship sides Partick Thistle and Arbroath meet in Glasgow while League 1 Falkirk, so impressive in the group stage, travel to face Dundee.

    Annan Athletic have a difficult task in hosting Aberdeen and Queen of the South have a tough trip to Ibrox to face Rangers.

    And at Fir Park, Motherwell host of the second tier's top sides, Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
