The Greenock side, currently occupying the relegation play-off spot in the Championship, were crushed 6-0 on their last Scottish Cup visit to Fir Park and League Cup meetings in 2017 and 2019 both ended in 4-0 defeats. Forfar Athletic and Dundee United, who kick off at 19:45 BST on Friday, have not met since a Scottish Cup tie in 1987. Kilmarnock have not been to a Scottish Cup final since their third success in 1997, although manager Tommy Wright was a winner with St Johnstone in 2014. Sunday starts at Stair ParkBefore the Old Firm derby, Sunday's cup action starts at Stair Park, where Stranraer host Hibernian in a 12:15 BST kick off. A dramatic, extra-time semi-final defeat by Hearts in last season's delayed tournament must have hurt, as will January's sorry defeat by St Johnstone in the last four of the League Cup.
