Scottish Cup draw redone after ball opens early

Celtic were preparing for a trip to Dundee United in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup, that was until a malfunction halted the draw at the SFA's Hampden HQ.

The draw, which was shown live on Sky Sports News HQ, had to be carried out again after a ball containing the name of one of the teams in the last eight opened early.

The debacle brought back memories of the 2007 League Cup semi-final draw, which had to be re-run after the then Scottish Parliament presiding officer Alex Fergusson mixed up his numbers and wrongly announced the ties.

This time around there were a few embarrassing moments for all involved, although the second running took place without a hitch.
