Scottish Cup weekend is upon us as the big hitters all take their first steps in the competition this season. The top flight have just come out of cold storage as they bid to advance past the last 32 stage and book a spot in the draw for the fifth round.
Celtic and Rangers both come up against lower league opposition with Highland League outfit Buckie Thistle getting a dream day out at Parkhead against Brendan Rodgers and his troops while Philippe Clement takes his men to Dumbarton.
The likes of Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen also feature at this stage with Barry Robson's men getting an exciting weekend of action underway on Friday night under the lights against Clyde.
The Dons suffered humiliation in the competition against Darvel last season under Jim Goodwin and the supporters will be desperate to avoid any repeat as they target another successful cup run after narrowly losing out to Rangers in the League Cup Final.
