The draw for the 2nd round is being made tomorrow morning at 11.30.
Good news is that Wick are still in although they face a replay after drawing today.

Where is it on as I'll be in church at 11.30am but might leave my phone on during the service 😊

The draw for the 2nd round of the Scottish Cup was made this morning. The game will be on Saturday 23rd October unless TV or a venue clash intervene!
Rovers have been drawn away to Brora Rangers who I believe are the 2nd most northerly in the draw!
Looked it up and it's 220 miles from Coatbridge by road and a 4 hour drive according to my phone!
Rovers have never played Brora in a competitive match or I believe even in a friendly!

Probably the toughest draw we could have got - this side dumped Hearts last year and have ambitions to potentially take our place in the league - when you look at the rest of the draw - we may get the television coverage for the romantic upset interest !

Brora are currently 6th in the HFL but having played a couple of games fewer that the top teams so are probably truly 2nd with top side Fraserburgh having lost just 1 game.

I have a feeling the manager’s ill guided comments about the costly journey to Brora in a league campaign will get well and truly stuffed right up us

At least the SFA pay for the club bus to the game!

Any chance of a supporters bus going up Prof?

....we may get the television coverage for the romantic upset interest ! Looking at the whole draw I'd say there's a chance we may do and if so they'd likely move the match, hopefully to the Sunday rather than Friday or Monday!

At least the SFA pay for the club bus to the game! I’m afraid this will be small consolation as their pre match talk has already been done by our manager.

No way that'll make any difference, we will have a very difficult game either way! It was just a few years ago their chairman was widely touted as not wanting to join the league due to the travelling.

Brora 'somehow' lost to a dire Montrose team to 'unfortunately miss out' on promotion to League Two...
