Worth saying some ties will probably move to Sunday 27th or holiday Monday 28th (including 1 evening tie on TV).

Albion Rovers v Buckie Thistle
Berwick Rangers v Stirling Albion
Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic v Coldstream/Bo'ness United
Brechin City v Glasgow University/Linlithgow Rose
Camelon v Brora Rangers
Cowdenbeath v Wick Academy/Musselburgh Athletic
Dundonald Bluebell v Queen's Park
Edinburgh City v Caledonian Braves
Elgin City v Civil Service Strollers
Gala Fairydean Rovers v Annan Athletic
Haddington Athletic v Formartine United/Turriff United
Huntly v Cumbernauld Colts
Keith v Hill of Beath Hawthorn
Kelty Hearts v Jeanfield Swifts
Lothian Thistle HV v Banks o'Dee
Nairn County v Broxburn Athletic
Rothes v Fraserburgh
Stenhousemuir v Preston Athletic/Hawick RAU
Stranraer v Spartans
Tranent v East Stirlingshire


Not a great draw in LL terms. Berwick, Caledonian Braves, Civil Service and Spartans face tough ties against strong SPFL2 opposition. Gala maybe fared slightly better home to Annan who have not been doing so well. Kelty and 'Shire face the top 2 sides in EOS Premier right now though both will be considered favourites. Cumbernauld face weakest HL side left, but is away.

Bonnyrigg v Bo'ness an attractive contest.

Hard to see past Dundonald Bluebell vs Queen's Park for a nonleague vs SPFL angle that involves a quirky name, a famous club from where the final will be played and the SPFL2 league leaders that just turned full-time. Think you need to be familiar with junior football over the years to see Bonnyrigg Rose vs Bo'ness United as a big game like most people posting on here would and the people making the decisions probably won't be, unfortunately.

Agree Berwick vs Stirling might be a dark horse contender given the Scotland vs England angle and Berwick still being recently relegated. Albion Rovers vs Buckie Thistle could also maybe be promoted as the club from the Bucky triangle hosting a teuchter club called Buckie but doubt the TV people would be keen to talk that up and who wants to visit Coatbridge, if they can avoid it?

Hard to see Dundonald getting on the tv as they are not using their floodlights at the minute or would you want them on tv playing at Starks Park again ?

Thought you mightve been "familiar" wi that scenario. 😏

Your club are in the EoS now and are highly unlikely to ever feature in the LL again unlike Kelty Hearts, Bonnyrigg Rose and Bo'ness Unied and many more former east and west superleague clubs that will follow the trail they have blazed in the years ahead.
