    The rest was even better

    We defeated Raith in the semi final who had knocked out the sheep at pittodrie and you lot at dens (in the round we beat Rangers)

    Then beat County who had knocked out Hibs and then Celtic in front of 28500 United fans in the Hampden sunshine
    So to answer the original question, premiership sides defeated during the run were:
    Rangers
    St Johnstone
    and the Fun if you had managed to beat the mighty Raith, but you couldn?t so we did.

    In other words, even in the single example you selected, Dundee got the luckier draw (we got Rangers, you got Raith) and you still couldn't progress so luck had nothing to do with it.

    FUNny though.

    - hat tip to shedka for the facts!
