Will the draw be kind?

ALL Brechin City eyes will be glued to "Reporting Scotland" on Monday evening (6.45pm) when the eagerly anticipated draw for the fourth round of the Scottish Cup will take place.
Having got to the 4th round by virtue of a great result at Berwick and having previously overcome tricky ties against Stirling Albion and Glasgow University, City fans must be hoping for a wee slice of luck.
Midfield play-maker, Grant Johnson, who has won his place back in the team under Ian Campbell said the players were hoping for a home draw.
"I think we would fancy ourselves against any team from Divisions One, Two or Three if we are drawn at home," said Grant.
"Obviously, the plum draw would be against an SPL side, but the boys are hopeful of getting as far in the competition as possible. Now Celtic are through, every club in the country will want to play them.
"But being honest, we would love a home game and the opportunity to go further in the cup. First of all we have a huge game at Stair Park on Saturday to take care off though.
"We had a great support at Berwick and hopefully, the players will get the backing of just as many Brechin fans at Stranraer on Saturday, as we forget about the cup for a while."
