Sons reward for beating Sauchie on Saturday is another home tie, this time potentially less winnable.
We will play top division side Dundee on Saturday, January 22nd.
That’s almost two months away.

Well.
A win.
Very welcome.
We needed it; especially as the two teams directly below us both won today as well.
And at last a better result in the second quarter than we had against that team in the first.
How much the win depended on them having a man sent off just after their equaliser I don’t know but we had taken the lead (a Stuart Carswell penalty no less) which suggests we were doing okay.
Then Eoghan Stokes pops up with the winner. He’s making a habit of making vital contributions off the bench.
A bit of a break from the league next week since we play Sauchie at home in the Third Round of the Scottish Cup. (When, I wonder, was the last time we played two Clackmannanshire based teams in a row?)
I’m not expecting an easy game. They beat Highland League leaders Fraserburgh – away – in round one.

Or it will be on November 27th.
Sons have been drawn at home against Sauchie in the Third Round of this season’s Scottish Cup.
Sauchie is a former Junior club (their full name still incorporates the Junior tag) who joined the migration to Senior football on the recent establishment of the extended Scottish football pyramid and now ply their trade in East of Scotland League Premier Division (Tier 6.) This is their first season in the Scottish Cup.
In the First Round they beat Highland League leaders Fraserburgh 2-1 away so must not be taken lightly. On Saturday they beat Dunipace of East of Scotland League First Division Conference A (Tier 7) 2-1 at home in the second round.
They will therefore go into the game with Sons with no pressure on them, so the tie could be tricky.
