Rod Stewart’s Scottish Cup special

Rod Stewart stole the headlines after taking centre stage at the fifth round draw for the Scottish Cup.

Following a cold January day at Airdrie the rocker livened up the draw for the fifth round as SFA President Alan McRae tried to keep a straight face.

Being the SFA there was a small concern when they got a 6 and a 9 mixed up with Morton announced as Celtic’s opponents before it was corrected to Inverness Caley Thistle.

Stewart then pulled out the final home tie with Morton given a trip to Ibrox to take on last season’s beaten finalist.

The lively behaviour of the 72-year-old rocker deflected attention away from a number of tasty looking ties including a potential Edinburgh derby and an all Premier League clash between Ross County and Aberdeen.

The ties are due to be played on February 11/12 with the announcement of the live televised games expected in the next couple of days.
