The Highland League season will not get underway till later this month meaning Derek Ure’s side should enter the match the sharper of the two sides but will still no doubt be in for a trick afternoon against the team who won 19 of their 28 league matches last season.

Bo’ness United, who have also enjoyed an excellent start in their maiden Lowland League season, have been drawn away to East of Scotland First Division Conference A side Coldstream.

Dunipace face a difficult task as they are at home to Lowland League side Berwick Rangers.

Camelon will also face a side from the Highland League as they travel to Banff to take on Deveronvale.
