Juniors in the Scottish CupTaken from Wikipedia. I had no idea Juniors were able to participate in this now.
No idea why Pollok aren't in the 4th round, the bbc website has them having drawn with Montrose, I suppose they must have gone out on penalties.

Introduction of New Entry Criteria
For the full entry criteria see, Scottish Cup Format
Previously clubs in the Scottish League Third Division and Second Division qualified automatically for the first round, along with four non-league teams each from the Scottish Qualifying Cup (North) and (South) competitions. Clubs in the Scottish League First Division and the Scottish Premier League had automatic byes to the third round. However, from the 2007/2008 season a new criteria was introduced for entry into the Scottish Cup[3]. The Scottish Qualifying Cup competitions were scrapped and the 36 SFA member clubs outwith the SPL and SFL were given direct entry to the 1st Round of the cup. Additionally, the league winners of the East of Scotland and South of Scotland Leagues, both of which contain some clubs that are not full members of the SFA and hence could not previously enter the Scottish Cup, were given a place in the draw.
Most controversially, clubs from Scottish Junior football (all but one of whom are not members of the Scottish FA as they belong to the Scottish Junior FA) have been admitted for the first time. Up to four Junior clubs are allowed to enter, these being the winners of the previous season's North Premier League, West Premier League and East Superleague, and the winner of the Scottish Junior Cup if they have not also won one of the three regional league titles.[4] The first three Junior clubs to qualify for the tournament are Culter, Pollok and Linlithgow Rose.
