“It's obviously disappointing not to get a home draw and it is always tough going up to Dingwall. That said, any tie is going to be difficult when there's a quarter final place at stake, and we'll look forward to the game when it comes around but we've three very important league games to play before we turn our attention to the Cup again.”
