Holders held by County

08 January 2011 18:00
Ross County gave themselves another chance to avenge their Scottish Cup final defeat by Dundee United after holding the defending champions in the fourth round at Tannadice. The underdogs had the ball in the net as they pressed following a poor first half but Andrew Barrowman's goal was disallowed for a foul on the goalkeeper. United forced them back in the final half hour but they lacked a clinical edge in the absence of the suspended David Goodwillie and County earned a fifth opportunity to beat the Tayside club in cup competitions in two seasons. Only 4,041 fans turned out as United began the defence of their trophy against a County side who have won just three league games since their 3-0 Hampden defeat in May.
