Scottish Cup Draw

It’s that time of the year again. Well, this season we’re in the draw a little earlier due to being in Tier 4 rather than 3.
Anyway it seems we’ve got a home tie in Round Two against Tayport of the Premier Division of the Midlands League, which at the moment lies at Tier 6 of Scottish football; two levels below the Sons.
That league is relatively new, only being formed when the clubs of the former Scottish Junior Football Association joined the senior football pyramid.
Since Tayport FC are an SFA licenced club (if they weren’t they could not enter the Scottish Cup) they are likely next season to enter the new Lowland League East Divison when the present Lowland League expands to two divisions, though I’m not sure if the promotion criteria have yet been firmed up.
The tie is a potential banana skin, as they say. Home advantage ought to favour us but our home record has been very poor this calendar year. Only two wins I believe. We’ve certainly lost two out of four games at home in the league this season and only won one.
The game will be played on the weekend of October 25th, most likely on that day.
