Second chance after bungled draw

A politician who paired the wrong teams in last season's CIS Cup semi-final draw will be given a second chance on 12 November.

The Scottish Parliament's presiding officer Alex Fergusson and First Minister Alex Salmond will team up again to make this season's draw.

Fergusson announced the wrong ties by mistake last year.

In the original draw last season, Rangers were announced as playing against Aberdeen, while Hearts were due to face Dundee United, after Fergusson got the numbers mixed up when calling out the ties.

It took several hours for organisers the Scottish Football League to announce the mistake and the draw as it should have been - Rangers against Hearts and Aberdeen against United.
