Derek McInnes gave us his reaction to the draw:

“Obviously, we'd have preferred to be at home but you have to win tough games if you're going to do well in a Cup. We found it difficult there last season and it's Premiership opposition which will be hard and it's not ideal playing the same side in such a short space of time.”
