Motherwell away in Scottish Cup R5 to lower league opposition

11 January 2011 14:45
We were paired with Stenhousemuir or Threave or Stranraer in today's fifth round draw. It'll take some time to discover our opponents but we'll have another away day! Threave Rovers (Meadow Park, Castle Douglas) still have to play Stenhousemuir then the winner faces Stranraer for the right to play us.  The next attempt at the first fixture will be tomorrow night (Wednesday). Aberdeen v Montrose or DunfermlineInverness v Morton or AirdrieHamilton v Dundee Utd or Ross CountyStenhousemuir or Threave or Stranraer v MotherwellEast Stirling or Buckie Thistle v Queen of the South or BrechinRangers v CelticHibs or Ayr v St Mirren or PeterheadHearts or St Johnstone v Partick Thistle or Falkirk Motherwell first won the Scottish Cup in 1952 in front of 136,000 at Hampden Park.  On that occasion we beat Dundee 4-0 and those of a superstitious nature will have noted that our win on Sunday in the 4th round had the same score! We had to wait until 1991 for the next chance to parade the Cup at Fir Park some twenty years ago.  Are we due for another?   Remember the triumph 20 years ago?
