East of Scotland League side Leith Athletic will be at home to Lowland League high-fliers Cumbernauld Colts, while Junior heavyweights Linlithgow Rose are away to Selkirk.

Lowland League strugglers Preston Athletic face the long trek to Highland League side Nairn Athletic and Civil Service Strollers will host Lowland League rivals Hawick Royal Albert.

The ties will be played on 
Saturday, 24 September.
