THE fourth round of the Scottish Cup has already been drawn, with Celtic and Rangers entering the fray next month.
But despite that draw taking place on November 30, there is still one third-round tie to be played.
Rangers will host Annan Athletic at Ibrox next month, while Celtic will take on sixth-tier side Auckinleck Talbot away from home but the venue is still to be decided.
The historic junior club might won’t be the only non-SPFL side in the next round, though.
Also still competing for Scotland‘s oldest trophy is Camelon Juniors, and there may be another.
Lowland League side Tranent FC are still hopeful of progressing through to the fourth round but have had no joy in getting their third-round tie underway.

They were due to face Inverness Caley Thistle on November 29 until the game was called off due to a waterlogged pitch at Tranent’s home ground, Foresters Park.
The game was then rescheduled to take place today, December 6, but things didn’t go to plan again.
The game was called off at around 8am this morning after the playing surface once again failed to pass its inspection.
A statement from Tranent read: “Despite the tireless efforts of everyone at the club throughout the week, this morning’s pitch inspection has deemed the playing surface unplayable following overnight torrential rainfall.
As a result, our @ScottishCup Third Round tie against @ICTFC has unfortunately been postponed.
“This will come as a huge disappointment to our sold-out crowd – both home and away – and we sincerely thank you for your understanding and continued support.
“Details regarding the rearranged fixture will be confirmed and shared shortly.”
Both clubs have since confirmed that the third rearranged fixture will take place on Monday, December 8, if all goes to plan.
The game will kick off at 7.45pm and all previously purchased tickets will remain valid.
The latest update has forced Caley Thistle into another fixture change, though, as their KDM Evolution Trophy match against Dumbarton – scheduled for Tuesday, December 9 – will now take place on December 16.
