The Warriors’ unprecedented position in the title race has been dented slightly on the back of two consecutive league draws ending a run of seven matches unbeaten in all competitions. However, to only be behind League One leaders Inverness on goal difference is testament to Gary Naysmith and his men who are more than capable of causing a cup upset to progress to the quarter-finals for the first time since 1994/95.
