Threave Rovers have been handed the perfect draw in the second round of the Scottish Cup. Their reward for hammering Vale of Leithen on Saturday is a home tie against struggling Stranraer later this month.

And Meadow Park gaffer, Danny Dunglinson, said: “In terms of a big draw, we couldn’t have asked much more. “We’re confident we can give them a draw and there’s always the possibility you can cause a shock.

It’s a local derby and in terms of getting fans through the door it’s the best draw we could have hoped for. “It would be good to get it on TV.

When you look at the other draws, our one is the real standout – they’re struggling in League Two, it’s a local derby and it’s also an opportunity to get a bit of awareness for Charlie Watson’s fundraising. “Queens are playing Annan that weekend, which is a bit of a blow as we’ll maybe lose a few fans to that - but if ours is Friday night you might get Queens and Annan boys coming.
