Well, the Third Round shocks did come along, but needless to say, not at the games I predicted. St Johnstone were dumped out at home by Cove Rangers, while Camelon Juniors at home to Edinburgh City and Auchinleck Talbot away at Dumbarton led the way for the non-League teams.

Tranent v Inverness CT now to be played on Saturday 6 December

"Dugless" Tranent won't Winalot of Chums after the call-off on Saturday because of a waterlogged pitch. ICT have Cup Pedigree and a quick Butchers at their Scottish Cup record reminds us of their headline-grabbing win over Celtic in 2003 (as long ago as that?) plus their famous Cup victory in 2015 and also as beaten Finalists in 2023.

Maybe more musings after the game on Saturday, leaving us with the complete Fourth Round Draw.
