City draw Premier opponents in Cup
Following the Scottish Cup 2nd Round Draw, by Anna Signeul, the National Team Coach, Glasgow City have been handed a tough home tie against city neighbours Celtic LFC, in one of only two all Premier League ties.
All 2nd round matches are scheduled for February 10th, with the City game confirmed at Glasgow Green Football Centre, with a 2pm kick off.
The sides previously met in the Quarter Finals of the League Cup at Celtic’s Barrowfield ground in September, with City running out 1-0 winners on the day, meaning the draw has ensured the sides will meet each other on four occasions this season.
City triumphed 4-1 in August in the first League meeting of the season and are due to renew rivalry in the League on 24th February, only 2 weeks after the Scottish Cup meeting.
With two high profile games against each other in such a short space of time this will ensure both teams will need to wake from the current winter break with a bang.
The full Scottish Cup 2nd Round Draw is as follows:
FC Kilmarnock v Queens Park
Hamilton Accies v East Kilbride or Monifieth
Raith Rovers v Royal High Thistle
Inverness v Dalkeith
Boroughmuir v Cowdenbeath
