First round
The draw for the First Round was made at Hamilton Crescent, popularly known as the West of Scotland Cricket Ground, at 15:00 on 3 September 2009. Hamilton Crescent is now the oldest surviving ground to have hosted Scottish Cup Finals, and also hosted the first ever international football match.
This round is populated entirely by non-league clubs:
- 13 clubs from the Highland Football League holding membership of the SFA (Inverurie Loco Works, Keith, Wick Academy, Buckie Thistle, Fraserburgh, Huntly, Forres Mechanics, Nairn County, Clachnacuddin, Lossiemouth, Rothes, Brora Rangers, Fort William)
- 10 clubs from the East of Scotland League holding membership of the SFA (Edinburgh University, Whitehill Welfare, Preston Athletic, Edinburgh City, Coldstream, Selkirk, Civil Service Strollers, Gala Fairydean, Vale of Leithen, Hawick Royal Albert)
- 4 clubs from the South of Scotland League holding membership of the SFA (Dalbeattie Star, Wigtown & Bladnoch, St Cuthbert Wanderers, Newton Stewart)
- 4 other clubs holding membership of the SFA (Burntisland Shipyard, Girvan, Glasgow University, Golspie Sutherland)
- 4 qualifiers from the Scottish Junior Football Association (Auchinleck Talbot, Banks O' Dee, Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic, Irvine Meadow)
Burntisland Shipyard was the last club drawn and received a bye to the Second Round.
Four of the five Junior clubs (Girvan and the four qualifiers) won their ties, while Bonnyrigg Rose lost after a replay.[3][4] Hawick Royal Albert's defeat by Huntly led to a police investigation of an allegation that the match had been fixed.[5]

Fourth round
The 16 winners from the Third Round entered here, along with the 12 SPL clubs and four SFL First Division clubs who were exempt from playing in the Third Round. The draw took place on Monday 30 November at 2:30pm at Hampden Park. The matches were scheduled for 9 January or 10 January 2010, but 10 games were postponed due to the severe weather conditions.
There was controversy as First Division side, Dunfermline Athletic, fielded an ineligible player in their match against Stenhousemuir. As well as this, the club's management failed to register the two mandatory under-21 players required by the rules and submitted an inaccurate team sheet. As a result of these breaches in the rules, Dunfermline Athletic were to be expelled from the competition and Stenhousemuir were to progress their stead.[8] However following an appeal by the club, a committee decided that expulsion from the competition was too harsh a punishment and wasn't merited by what the club's management described as "honest errors". The club were given a reprieve along with fines and forfeits of benefits totalling around £30,000. Furthermore, the result of the game was overturned was replayed at Ochilview Park to decide which team progressed in the competition.[9]
