Hibs boss, Colin Calderwood told the clubs online Television channel, "They are the one club in Scotland i was associated with a Boys Club. It's a nice tie for myself and I'm looking forward to it. There's a bit of excitement even just sitting watching the Draw and because of the association i had playing with them for two or three years at boys club level, I'm pleased we've got them".
When asked when Scott Taggart will help inform him on the current situation of Ayr United he said, "Probably not too much, but obviously we'll ask Taggs about the situation, we've got time to watch them and the normal procedure, we'll do our homework".
Hibs gaffer, Calderwood is the second person to take charge of the Leith club this season. The other, another former Honest-man John 'Yogi' Hughes who played for Ayr at Hampden in the famous Cup semi-final win. Hughes was a guest of the SFA for the draw, pulling the balls from the hat along with former Dundee and Dundee United defender, Lee Wilkie.
Here is the full draw-
Aberdeen v East Fife
Dundee United v Ross County
Queen of the South v Brechin City or Annan Athletic
Montrose v Dunfermline Athletic
Greenock Morton v Airdrie United or Beith
Falkirk v Partick Thistle
Berwick Rangers v Celtic

Rangers v Kilmarnock
Hibernian v Ayr United
Stenhousemuir or Threave Rovers v Stranraer
Hamilton Academical v Alloa Athletic
