Road to the final
edit
The previous year's winners were Celtic, who had beaten Dunfermline Athletic 3–0 in the 2006 final, but they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Falkirk, who beat them 5–4 on penalties. With Dunfermline also being eliminated in the early rounds, it was the fourth successive year in which both of the previous year's finalists did not make it back to the final.
Rangers' shock 2–0 defeat by First Division club St Johnstone meant that neither Old Firm club featured in the semi-finals. Kilmarnock beat Falkirk 3–0[2] at Fir Park and Hibernian beat St Johnstone 3–1 after extra time[3] at Tynecastle in the semi-finals.
