Ibrox return for Clyde boss

Former Rangers defender Graham Roberts has been handed a return to Ibrox in the CIS Insurance Cup third round draw.

The ex-Chelsea and Tottenham man is now manager of Bell’s Second Division Clyde, whose reward for the midweek win over Peterhead is a trip to Glasgow.

But Falkirk will not be relishing their trip to face the other half of the Old Firm when they go to Celtic Park.

The Bairns were beaten 8-1 by the Hoops at the same stage of the competition last season.

Bank of Scotland Premier League leaders Hearts have been handed the short trip to Livingston, who are still without a win in the top flight this season.

Kilmarnock will play host to Dunfermline, while Dundee United will travel to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the other all-SPL ties.

Aberdeen must make the long journey from the north-east to the south-west after being paired with Stranraer at Stair Park.

Second Division Ayr United will entertain Hibernian in a repeat of the 2003 CIS Cup semi-final.

Motherwell must defeat St Mirren at Love Street to progress to the quarter-finals of the competition.

The draw for the CIS Insurance Cup third round is:

Kilmarnock v Dunfermline

Livingston v Hearts

Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Dundee United

Stranraer v Aberdeen

Celtic v Falkirk

Ayr United v Hibernian

Rangers v Clyde

St Mirren v Motherwell

Ties to be played on September 20 and 21
