The draw for the Third Round was made this morning throwing up a potential first meeting between the Bairns and Hoops since 2012.

However, to get there they will need to get past Dick Campbell's Arbroath who they were due to face yesterday but a frozen pitch at Gayfield meant they would have to try again on Tuesday night.

Meanwhile, Stenhousemuir could have a home tie against Premiership opponents if they win their rearranged Second Round tie at Peterhead which is due to take place on Tuesday.

The winner of that match will be at home to Kilmarnock in the Third Round.

As for Camelon, who are still trying to play their FIRST ROUND match with Brora Rangers after multiple call offs, either they, Brora or Hearts have a home Third Round tie against League 2 Stranraer.

Matches are currently scheduled for Saturday, January 30 but are subject to change should they be chosen for live TV broadcast.
