They've been promoting the fact it will happen on Sportscene and what time that show starts. Formatting of the show isn't something that will be in the control of the SFA, so it's not like they'd be able to give a definitive time.

They probably wouldn't put it at the front of the show in case the live element overruns, and throws off the highlight packages. So it'll probably be in the last 15 minutes.  And it's not like they're going to say only tune in for the last 15 minutes of an hour and 15 minute programme.

Ok cheers.

Unless I’m missing something, sportscene on just before midnight til 1am so the draw will be around 12.45 am! Wow that’s a new one.

As said above Sportscene is being first run on BBC Scotland from 19.15. If you tune in around 20.00 you'll probably be in advance of the draw.

Stirling University v Linlithgow
Albion Rovers v Fort William
East Kilbride v Gretna
Edinburgh City v Banks o'Dee
Cowdenbeath v Broxburn
Clachnacuddin/Nairn v Brora
Rothes v Inverurie
Deveronvale/Spartans v Queen's Park

Annan v Brechin
Lochee v BSCG
Auchinleck v Cove
Bonnyrigg v Buckie
Stirling Albion v Strathspey


Not really an obvious pick for their TV match. Deveronvale/Spartans v Queen's Park maybe the likely shout - certainly if Spartans given their rep - or perhaps Albion Rovers v Fort William?

Berwick's = "dire".

If they can't go to Auchinleck, you'd imagine the next best TV choice would be Penicuik Stenhousemuir.

It's the tie I'd pick but as I said before I doubt the BBC pickers have much knowledge of the non-league scene and their priority in these early ties may be 'story' encounters i.e. Auchinleck, Kelty, Caledonian Braves, Fort William, Cove and so on.

Spartans have the "giant killers" reputation/QP the history... Fort William were in a recent documentary for being the "worst team in Britain".
