Scottish Cup Draw Has to Be Redone After 1st Attempt Goes Wrong Live on Air

There are few things in football less exciting than a cup draw.

So it came as an amusing surprise on Monday when the Scottish Cup quarter-final draw had to be restarted after the first attempt went wrong—live on Sky Sports News.

The problem appeared to stem from a ball that was already open when it was removed from the bowl, forcing organisers to scrap the draw and start again.

At the second attempt, Celtic were drawn to face minnows Greenock Morton, while last year's winners, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, will play either Hearts or Hibernian.

But the first draw was much more interesting.
