The Scottish Gas Men's Scottish Cup Third Round Draw took place at Hampden Park on Sunday evening, with 2008 winner Kevin Thomson conducting the draw. The former Hibernian and Rangers midfielder joined host Gordon Duncan at the National Stadium to draw the 20 ties that will take place on the weekend of Saturday, 29 November.

Former Hibernian and Rangers midfielder Kevin Thomson conducted the draw with 20 ties in the next round of the competition. Clubs in the Scottish Championship and League One joined the competition at this stage, alongside the 20 clubs that progressed from the second round.

W ith the possible exception of the very early weeks of the season, when Celtic and Rangers meet, it is usual for one of them to be hovering somewhere close to crisis. It is simply the nature of Scottish football, the overwhelming strength and remorseless antipathy of the Glasgow sides. When one is down, the other is presumably up.

The Scottish Gas Men's Scottish Cup continues this weekend with 20 Second Round ties taking place over the course of the weekend. This round sees the ten League Two sides enter the competition, joining the 30 sides who advanced from the First Round.
