Dunfermlin­e head to Hampden

-

Dunfermlin­e will be heading Hampden in the Scottish Cup.

Allan Johnston’s high-flying Pars have been drawn against League 1 Queens Park in the third round.

Fife rivals Raith Rovers face a tricky trip north to face Peterhead.

Brechin are also on their travels, visiting Highland League Buckie Thistle.

Arbroath host Berwick, East Fife are away to Clyde, Forfar travel to Highland League Formartine United and Montrose host Queen of the South in a repeat of last week’s Irn Bru Cup clash.

The full draw is: Airdrieoni­ans v to Cove Rangers, Arbroath v Berwick Rangers, Banks O’Dee v Ayr United, Buckie Thistle v Brechin City, Clyde v East Fife, Dumbarton v Elgin City, East Kilbride v Albion Rovers, Formartine United v Forfar Athletic, Livingston v Glenafton Athletic, Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale v St Mirren, Montrose v Queen of the South, Peterhead v Raith Rovers, Queen’s Park v Dunfermlin­e Athletic, Spartans v Fraserburg­h, Stenhousem­uir v Alloa Athletic, Stranraer v Brora Rangers.

The draw, which was made at Links Park, Montrose, on Saturday, was overshadow­ed by controvers­y.

Fifteen ties had already been drawn by former Dundee boss Archie Knox and Derek Sim, the chairman of Links Park Community Trust, when Sim called out number nine for Brora Rangers. He was quickly advised it was a six but Sim insisted it was a nine.

Live coverage of the draw on the SFA’s Facebook page was cut as Brora had already been given a home tie against Queen’s Park, so the entire draw was redone.

Ties will be played on the weekend of Saturday November 18.
