Participation in the final-16 plus a likely TV facility fee and a 40-odd per cent gate receipt split will pocket Raith a significant six-figure sum with the January transfer window still open.
Fifth-round ties are set to take place on the weekend of Saturday, February 8 subject to broadcast selections.
