Jack Ross’ team will meet Stranraer at Stair Park in two weeks’ time – assuming they can win at the Dumfries home of the Doonhamers in the final third round match of the competition.

Singer Nathan Evans made the fourth AND fifth round draws this afternoon, first lining up the 2016 winners with the Blues and – if Hibs can win both their away ties in south-west Scotland – they’ll have a home quarter-final against either Motherwell or Morton.
