[1][2] Scottish Premier Division club Hibernian (Hibs) entered the competition in the second round.
They began their campaign with an away tie against Stirling Albion, but the match was in fact played at McDiarmid Park in Perth.
[1] This was because Annfield Stadium had an artificial turf, which gave visiting clubs the option of moving the match to a neutral venue.
Home victories against Alloa Athletic, St Mirren (after a penalty shootout) and Dundee United earned a place in a semi-final.
[1] Dunfermline were losing 1–0 late in the game, but were controversially awarded a penalty kick by referee David Syme.
