The double-chasing Steelmen are still in for a chance of a trophy this season now we are through to the fifth round of the Scottish Cup. In the League Cup groups, we played Clyde for the second summer in a row and Greenock Morton, a side we have faced five times in the past seven years across all competitions. Then we had St Johnstone, who we used to play minimum three times a season, followed by Aberdeen, who again we play three times a year.

The enjoyment from cup games comes from having the chance to play teams you normally wouldn't. That said, our draws so far this season in both competitions have been disappointing.

So far in the Scottish Cup we have had Ross County (please see above as to why this is disappointing) and Aberdeen again.
When playing in these competitions you want the most unusual team possible, and preferably away from home so you can experience a game and trip you haven't before.
However, I'm pleased we avoided the big Glasgow two, so I can't complain too much, but the lack of variety does make it feel very bland, especially since we'll be playing Aberdeen twice within a week for the second time this season.
Given we're unbeaten - two wins and a draw - against the Dons this campaign, I fancy our chances and don't fear them.
And maybe with a bit of luck, by the time we get to the final it will be against more favourable opposition.
