MEADOW TO FACE SPL GIANTS IN CUP

Hibs away for Chris Strain's men

IRVINE Meadow are ready to hit new heights after being drawn against SPL giants Hibernian in a mouthwatering Scottish Cup draw.

Despite failing to land either of the Old Firm, Meadow will be more than delighted to face the big guns in Edinburgh - with Hibs lying in third place in the SPL with the same points as Rangers.

A huge financial jackpot will await the Irvine side, with the potential for a television windfall should the game be shown live.
