Scottish Cup 4th Round live on BBC Scotland & Sky Sports
January 5, 2012 · 0 Comments
BBC One Scotland and Sky Sports will broadcast live coverage of three ties from the William Hill Scottish Cup 4th Round over the weekend of 7/8 January.
BBC One Scotland will broadcast live from Dens Park for the 4th Round tie between Dundee and Kilmarnock from Dens Park on Saturday 7 January at 12.15pm (kick off 12.30pm).
After a shaky start to the season, of late Dundee have looked much more like the team who would have won the First Division at a canter last campaign but for a 25-point deduction imposed for entering administration. Kilmarnock, then, will know that they will have to be on their toes to avoid a Cup upset.
Rob Maclean presents the live coverage with commentary from Liam McLeod and Craig Paterson.
Sky Sports will broadcast two further ties from the 4th Round in a Scottish Cup Double Bill live on Sunday 8 January at 12.30pm. The first tie sees Second Division Arbroath meet Premier League side Rangers at Gayfield Park in a 12.45pm kick off. The Glaswegians won 3-0 when the sides met in January 2003.
The second match sees Celtic travel to third division Peterhead in what promises to be a huge tie for the side struggling for form in Scottish football’s bottom tier. This match is a 3pm kick off and will also be broadcast live on Sky Sports HD1.
