Celtic v Inverness Caledonian Thistle
Ross County v Dundee Utd
St Johnstone v Queen of the South
Brechin City v Motherwell
All ties will be played on 21 or 22 September.
City chairman Ken Ferguson said,
" We are delighted to be in the 3rd Round of the Co-operative Insurance Cup and to be facing SPL opposition at Glebe Park . There may have been more lucrative ties come out of the bag today and that is a disappointment as the chances to make significant money from Cup ties for Clubs at our level come few and far between. Having played Motherwell earlier in the season in a pre-season friendly I am sure the players will be looking forward to the game. Any home tie is a winnable tie and we will be approaching this game with the same anticipation and enthusiasm as shown in the previous round with Dundee ."
