Lowland in the Scottish Cup 2019-20

Not the glories of last season but reasonable afternoon for LL.

Excellent wins for Bonnyrigg and Gretna (tbh did anyone see that coming - win over HoB and clean sheet?)... good win for Stirling Uni... Gala prevail at Dalbeattie who continue to struggle.

Civil Service, Cumbernauld and Edinburgh Uni outcomes not surprising but I didn't expect Penicuik to win by so many... Caledonian Braves the most disappointing result - Rothes are mid-table HL nowadays but still - and harder job for Spartans having surrendered 1-0 lead... Took in the Broxburn game expecting a close encounter but so it was: 'Shire the worst result of the day in my book having reclaimed a replay with minutes remaining.

Excellent result for Gretna

It was in ways yes.

Though I have believe it or not in recent games seen us coming together as a team, not a random group of players.

Ok rode our luck a bit in first half,  way it goes.

Good value for the win though tbf it could have went either way.

And!! Never thought I would say this, but what a great defensive display from Gretna.

^^^beat me to it:

having to focus on funding floodlights has damaged the quality of the team?

Vale management resigned last night, kind of inevitable after that result . This season has been one mess after another. Pre season signings announced when they hadn't signed and some hellish results including yesterdays. Three weeks ago we watched a player scream F off at a coach during a game and last weeks cup game v Kelty was attended by about a dozen locals. 

I feel for some of the young players on loan  as they're all working hard but the LL has changed beyond recognition over the past year and mistakes are punished heavily. With the floodlight ruling I genuinely fear for the Vales survival. At the moment they'd struggle to compete in the EOS. Dark days

Draw live during Sportscene on BBC Scotland from 7:15pm.

Most people will want a winnable home tie, but worth noting an away tie v Queen's Park is probably the last chance you'll have to play at Hampden: they get kicked-out next year.

Unless you get to the final 😅

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
Elgin v Berwick
Formartine v Gala
Penicuik v Stenhousemuir
Annan v Brechin
Lochee v BSCG
Auchinleck v Cove
Bonnyrigg v Buckie
Stirling Albion v Strathspey



Mixed bag there. EK will be happy and Bonnyrigg and Stirling Uni also have decent home draws. BSCG face a tough but doable tie. Very tough for Spartans, Berwick and Gala comparing with the strength of their opponents.

Terrible draw for us - familiar opponent, much stronger, long trip, probably not much of a gate.

Good draw for Spartans if they get past Deveronvale. Not easy, but winnable.
