The previous year's winners were Celtic, who had beaten Dunfermline Athletic 3β0 in the 2006 final, but they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Falkirk, who beat them 5β4 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 backββto the final.
Rangers' shock 2β0 defeat by First Division club St Johnstone meant that neither Old Firm club featured in the semi-finals. Kilmarnock beat Falkirk 3β0 at Fir Park and Hibernian beat St Johnstone 3β1 after extra time at Tynecastle in the semi-finals.
