Football bosses were left red-faced after the draw for the Scottish Cup quarter final had to be halted following a malfunction.
The live event was stopped mid-way when it became apparent that one of the eight spheres holding the names of the teams in the draw had split open prematurely.
The SF tweeted: "Due to a fault, the draw will be void and will be restarted shortly."
Greenock Morton, Celtic, Dundee United, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Ross County were all in the draw.
The victors of games between Dumbarton and Dundee, Rangers and Kilmarnock and Hearts and Hibs will also join them in the quarter final.
The draw, which was being televised live, restarted shortly afterwards.
