Saints Draw East Stirling

Last updated : 11 July 2002 By Stuart Gillespie
Fortunately this time season ticket holders get in without having to pay a fair amount when all you're seeing is a weakened Saints team being hammered by Ayr like last year (Me, Bitter? NOO!).

Anyway, the game takes place a few days after our first game of the season, against the Perth Scum at Love Street. Should be a good game and it will be interesting to see if we can overcome a team from a lower league, unlike we did with Stirling last season in the league cup. Personally I'm gutted we didn't get Airdrie United as I'd have loved to give them a boo, however Clydebank might still get in so that's good news.

The full draw is:

St Johnstone v Hamilton

Montrose v Albion

Arbroath v Forfar

Berwick v Inverness

Airdrie United v Raith

Morton v Stirling

Queen's Park v Gretna

St Mirren v East Stirling

Cowdenbeath v Ross

Dumbarton v East Fife

Elgin v Brechin

Stranraer v Ayr

Peterhead v Queen of the South

Stenhousemuir v Falkirk

First division sides Alloa Athletic and Clyde are the jammy gits who get byes to the next round.
