Initial thoughts are, Hearts will win with something to spare but the other 3 ties are open. Hearts on the handicap might be worth a look as I reckon they'll rack up a few goals.

Hibs couldn't beat Falkirk just over a week ago and could well find it hard going again. Falkirk are sure to have a go and have already beaten Hibs this season. So it's one win each and one draw. That doesn't justify Hibs at odds on away from home. They should be at least evens and I think we've got a good chance of seeing that, on the exchanges at any rate.

Gretna will find St Mirren harder to breakdown than either St Johnstone or Clyde were and this tie looks a real teaser. No surprise the home team are favourites but I won't be in any rush to back them. This looks a contest that could go all the way through another game at Love Street, ending up in a spot kick shoot out.

Hamilton are the early price favourites on their plastic pitch but come kick off I don't think there will be much between them oddswise. Played each other 3 times in the league with each match drawn. Two of these at Hamilton. Dundee have drawn 8/12 away matches in Division 1. Hamilton have only lost twice at home all season. This has got another draw written all over it and I can't make out a case for either team. Could be another long running cup tie.
