The action in the Scottish Gas Men’s Scottish Cup and the Scottish Gas Women’s Scottish Cup is one step closer to kicking off, after the draws for the Preliminary Rounds in both competitions were made yesterday.
Draw host Gordon Duncan was joined by former Aberdeen and Celtic winger Jonny Hayes – who announced his retirement last week following a 20-year career in which he won the 2019 Scottish Cup with Celtic – and Scottish singer Rianne Downey, who recently played on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury.
