Rangers or Celtic the dream draw for Hamilton Accies goalkeeper after Ross County Scottish Cup shock

Hamilton Accies keeper Ryan Fulton is dreaming of drawing Rangers or Celtic in this evening's Scottish Cup fifth round draw.

The New Douglas Park side are in the hat after springing a surprise on Premiership strugglers Ross County yesterday, with a 5-3 penalty shootout win.

In-form Fulton pulled off a string of saves over 120 minutes of football to keep County at bay and then produced a superb stop to deny Jordan White in the shootout to pave the way for victory.

With one Premiership side taken out, Accies now have their sights set on another in the draw for the last 16, which will be made at 6pm today.

It has been a couple of years since Accies and Fulton took on the Old Firm following their relegation from the top flight.

And asked what he'd like in the draw, the 26-year-old said: "Obviously you want the big two. Either one I would take.

"Hopefully we can get a big tie and a nice away day. We can go and express ourselves.

"We'd be coming up against the country's best. That's what you want, so one of the two would be great."

For Accies defender Dylan McGowan, who hit one of their five perfect penalties in the shootout, he is just keen to avoid his parent club Kilmarnock.

He said: "As long as we don't get Kilmarnock and I can play, keep getting minutes in my legs, I'll be happy.

"It's just great that Hamilton are in the next round and for the young boys to experience a bit of a cup run and get some bigger games.

"The Scottish Cup is special. These boys have grown up watching it and dreamt of playing in it, so we'll be happy to get as far as we can.

"But we say bring on the draw and let's see who we get."
