Scottish Cup 3rd Round
======================

Aberdeen 4		Hamilton  1
(Booth 3, Irvine)	(Reid)

Airdrie  0		Clydebank  0

Arbroath 3		Morton 0
(Sorbie 3)

Clyde  0		Celtic  0
(2nd Division team)	(Premier Division team)

	Celtic at last put a run of 3 successive 1-0 defeats behind them to
scrape by and get a replay at Parkhead next week.  They've now gone  *360*
minutes without scoring and even the return of Tommy Coyne couldn't help. 
Even Hearts and Hibs scored 11 goals between them against lesser opposition.
Should be fun in the 1st Division for them next season !!

Cove Rangers 2		East Stirling  2
(Megginson, Lavelle)	(Thomson, Barclay)

Dundee 2		Dumbarton  0
(Dodds, Weighorst)

Dundee Utd  3		Meadowbank  1
(McKinlay, Welsh	(Rutherford)
Ferguson)

Dunfermline  1		Ayr Utd 2
(Chalmers)		(Mair, Walker)

Hearts 6		Huntly 0
(Boothroyd 2, Baird
Ferguson, Snodin, Robertson)

Hibs 5			St Mirren  2
(Weir 2, Jackson,	(Lavety, Gallagher)
McGinlay, Wright)

Kilmarnock  5		Raith Rovers 0
(Williamson 3, McLuskey
McPherson)

Bit of a surprise at first sight but not when you consider Raith lost their
goalkeeper early on through injury and then had a player sent off.


Motherwell 0		Rangers 2
			(McCoist)


Partick 0		Cowdenbeath 1
			(Henderson pen)

	The shock of the day with Partick missing a penalty and Cowdenbeath
winning with a penalty.  Cowdenbeath are bottom of the 1st Division, have
conceded 66 goals and have only 5 points.

St Johnstone 6		Forfar  0
(Wright 2, Arkins 2
Cherry, Maskrey)

Stirling Albion 1	East Fife 2
(McInnes)		(Skelligan 2)

Berwick/Falkirk ---- Postponed.

4th Round Draw

News
====
	It looks increasingly likely that Rangers will sign Gordon Durie 
from Spurs before this Friday's European signing deadline. However Spurs
valuation of the player is 3M which is way over the top for someone who is
injury prone.  Rangers valuation is about 1.5M.

	In an interview with Radio Clyde on Saturday, the Celtic chairman,
Kevin "Steptoe" Kelly declared why his club is supporting the proposals
for a restructuring of the existing Scottish League to a 14-12-12 set up.
The Premier League would break into 2 sections mid way through and the top 6
teams would play off for the Championship with all teams starting on 
0 points. This is a non-starter since why should the team who accumulates
most points be deprived of them in the 2nd stage.  As Kelly said "Last 
season we would have the league if this system had been in operation". It's
the only way they'll win the league and the proposals should be modified
or rejected.  There is also a rumour circulating that Celtic will be 
rewarded by the SFA with a bit of groundsharing.  Amatuer Productions indeed !!
