What? No Spartans! Good luck to all the Highland League sides in this years SFA Cup. Nice local derby in the 2nd round I see.

First Round (ties to be played 18th November):

Brechin City v Queen's Park

Arbroath v Albion Rovers

Edinburgh University v Keith

Devoronvale v Montrose

East Stirlingshire v Stirling Albion

Preston Athletic v Stenhousemuir

East Fife v Berwick Rangers

Stranraer v Alloa Athletic

Second Round (ties to be played 9th December)

Elgin City v Buckie Thistle

Annan Athletic v Greenock Morton

Peterhead v Ayr United

Edinburgh City v East Stirlingshire/Stirling Albion

Raith Rovers v Dumbarton

Deveronvale/Montrose v Fraserburgh

Stranraer/Alloa v Forfar Athletic

Cowdenbeath v Edinburgh University/Keith

East Fife/Berwick Rangers v Arbroath/Albion Rovers

Brechin City/Oueen's Park v Preston Athletic/Stenhousemuir

Elgin v Buckie could be a good one.

I'd settle for playing the winners in the third round.

Sadly Spartans were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Annan in the final of the South Qualifying cup

Surely if they were in the final then they've qualified for the Scottish Cup. I thought the south qualifier worked in the same way as the north i.e if you make the semi's, then you're in the Cup.

:024: Strange post Alex - where do you get your info from? Spartans didn't get anywhere near qualifying for the Cup this year. Annan beat Edinburgh University 2:0 in the semis and they play Preston Athletic in the final at Fir Park on 11/11.

Saw Spartans recently and tbh I don't think they would live with the top HFL teams this year.

Oops, sorry!!!! There was supposed to be a 'q' before the word final. Must have missed the key or summit
