The two Fourth Round ties played today had the expected results, but not without a bit of tension and relief at getting through. Aberdeen struggled to beat Raith Rovers 1-0 and Celtic had much the same difficulties against 6th-tier Auchinleck Talbot, only scoring the decisive goal in the last 5 minutes in a 2-0 win.
As well as Hibs losing to Dunfermline yesterday, ICT failed against Spartans and Motherwell made hard work of their win over Ross County. It's all part of the magic of the Cup for the smaller teams, I suppose.

Airdrie v St Mirren
Celtic v Dundee
Dundee United v The Spartans
