Thornton off to Dunbar for Scottish Cup replay

Scottish Junior Cup

There are two first round replays involving Courier Country clubs tomorrow.

Thornton Hibs head to Dunbar United after sharing four goals with the South League side.

Neither were at their best last week and it has all the makings of another close encounter.

If Crossgates Primrose and Arbroath Vics’ replay at Humbug Park is half as good as last week’s eightgoal bonanza, then the fans are in for a treat.

Vics are without Kyle Findlater and Jonathan Bastow, while Craig Kear is still sidelined.

GA Engineering Cup 1st Round

Coupar Angus and Tayport clash at Foxhall Park. Included in the home ranks is full-back Murray Irvine, formerly of Forfar Athletic’s U20s.

North League

Leaders Blairgowrie are looking to extend their unbeaten record at Lochee Harp. Given the hosts have only won twice this season, it would be a surprise if Billy Mackay’s men don’t make it five wins out of five on their travels.

Harp boss Michael Gormley has personnel problems. Sam McDonald, Connor McLeod and James Cochrane are all unavailable while Joe Colquhoun is struggling with a hamstring injury.

Third-placed Kinnoull welcome Forfar Albion and Noull boss Alan Cameron hopes to add a new face to his squad in time for the game.

The Thistles of Kirrie and Scone clash at Westview. Kirrie boss Jim Finlayson names the same squad as last week, but the visitors are without Fraser Mills and Craig Mitchell while Gary Fergus will undergo a late fitness test.

North End will hope to continue the scoring spree that has seen them net 30 times in their last five games especially as opponents Newburgh boast the second worst defensive record in the league.

The Dokens will be without Ryan Winter, Martin Strachan and Ryan Shaw.

Winless Burgh have strengthened their squad with the acquisitions of defender Frank Lannen from Broughty Athletic and attacking midfielder Dillan Duddy

East Craigie play host to Lochore Welfare.

The Shipbuilders have banged in 15 goals in their last three games and have a full squad available.

Brechin Vics are understrength for Luncarty’s visit.

Six players – Sam Wood, Colin Lawson, Jordan Rausch, Douglas Crowe, Paul Tosh and Connor Mtchell – are all unavailable. Boss Charlie King intends pulling in a couple of trialists.

Luncarty are without Bally Whytock and Richard Doig, but defender Neil Ritchie returns and the Bleachers hope to include a new loan signing.

South League

Lochgelly Albert should get back on the winning trail at lowly Stoneyburn.

Berts boss Craig Ness has signed Tony Doubleday from Kirkcaldy YM.

Rosyth must be firm favourite to take three points away to Kirkcaldy YM. Mike McMillan and Dean Ogg are likely to return, but skipper Mark Morrison is still out.

With a handful of players carrying knocks from their cup exit at Dunbar, Denfield boss Lee Rough will make a late selection.

Oakley face a tough trip to high-flying Pumpherston. Boss Lee Richardson welcomes back Cammy Smith and Yanni Popodopilis.
