IT'S William Hill Scottish Cup weekend with big ties such as Dundee v Celtic and small ones like Spartans v Berwick.
Let's hope for some smashing matches and who knows what we'll get when Rangers blood their three fit on-loan Newcastle players against Raith Rovers.
As usual William Hill's Owen Scotts has dug up some interesting stats for the eight matches – and remember these are not tips.

their last six matches.
