The Jam Tarts will face the Highlanders for the first time when they run out at Dudgeon Park, 210 miles from Tynecastle Park for a place in the third round and a home tie with League Two side Stranraer.

Hearts come into the match having drawn 0-0 with Arbroath at the weekend, while the Highland League opponents have not played in ten weeks. They have played just one friendly and only been able to hold a handful of training sessions.

It took seven attempts for Brora to complete their first round tie with Camelon to set up the clash with Championship league leaders Hearts.

Robbie Neilson will make a few changes from the side which drew on Saturday with international call-ups and suspensions forcing his hand.

We will have live coverage with updates, reaction and analysis throughout the evening.
