The Scottish Cup gets back under way on Tuesday night as teams the length and breadth of the country battle for a place in the third round where the country's top teams join the competition.
Lesser known clubs such as Buckie Thistle, Nairn County, Huntly and Keith take the stage but it's little Brora Rangers who have landed the tie of the round after being paired with last season's runners-up Hearts.
The Highland league outfit could've been an SPFL side by now if last season wasn't brought to a premature halt. The Cattachs led their league and were denied a potential shot at glory so will feel they have a point to prove up against the big guns.
KevMac takes a closer look at how things might pan out for the Jambos in his match preview as they make the trip north.
Potential banana skins lie in wait for Inverness who travel along the A96 to play Buckie Thistle and Clyde who face a 350+mile round trip to Keith.
There's also a bunch of matches in English League 1, League 2 and National League. Tolu previews Peterborough United's match at Blackpool.
Our team have already started to look ahead to the World Cup qualifiers coming up this week so expect us to cover those in detail in the coming days.

So on a very quiet day of football, with the coming WC qualifiers, have decided to put together (based on stats), an 8-fold and Goliath for interest, this evening. I appreciate this type of bet is not for everyone, as intrinsically high risk, so please feel free to scroll past. For anyone who does have an interest, I would advise keeping stakes at a minimum…

Just noticed, when placing the bet, I had a WH boost…Odds for 8-fold now 95/1
5 games trapped, 3 didn’t, but close. Well done those with a winner
Think there’s a few good prices in the Scottish cup tonight considering there will be teams who have been playing weekly against teams who haven’t had a competitive fixture since December/January , or even been able to train since a few weeks ago.
Hearts have international call ups and injuries that look to effect their attacking line up more than anything , and although they have burned me a few times this season even a second string should be good enough against a team 3 divisions below who haven’t played since the start of January.
Ayr united look a good price also, I wouldn’t have touched them had Mark Kerr been in charge but with the change of manager to David Hopkin , who has proved himself already in the lower divisions, and an upturn in results and general play in games , I feel the bookies have priced this based on the previous form of the old management team. Only hearts have beat them in the last 5, securing two draws with second placed Raith , and putting 3 past 4th placed Dundee. They should be too good for an Elgin side who are just getting back to playing ways.
Inverness are also priced nicely against Buckie thistle. They have lost one in their last 5, drawn 2, and most recently beaten 2nd and 3rd placed Raith and Dunfermline away from home. New interim manager Neil McCann likes his teams to attack and has a fierce winning streak which should ensure he doesn’t let up or play a weakened team against a side 3 divisions below who haven’t played since Boxing Day.
Over 1.5tgs treble @ 1.3/1 (WHill Acca boost , 1.2 without)
Hearts
Inverness
Ayr
Good luck all 🤞🤞
I’d have thought Inverness and Ayr games would have been priced similarly to the hearts game but odds on offer are attractive for higher scores so will be having a dabble mixing higher team goals doubles and singles too for added interest with small stakes.
Ayr 2+
Inverness 3+ double @ 1.7/1 (WHill)
Ayr 3+ @ 11/8
Inverness 3+ @ 4/5
Double @ 3.3/1 (WHill)

Double @ 12/1 (Bet365)
totally agree with your thots on my home town team of Ayr, think they will do well under David Hopkin, Skybets overnight price of 4/7 to beat Elgin has gone to 4/9…as much as Elgin may been training, think they may struggle with lack of event competitiveness..

Morton v Dunfermline
Should be a tight game
Morton win h/t draw f/t 14/1
Dunfermline win h/t draw f/t
14/1 as well for Dunfermline win h/t draw f/t
I reckon there will be a fair few draws tonight in the Scottish Cup..Perm any 5 from 11..Good returns.
Should read 12
Double: Stranraer and Stockport to score first.
God this forum is quiet now. People sick of unpredictable football results thanks to lack of fans. Utter sh*te
It’s as busy as it’s ever been but the daily traffic reflects the daily card – yesterday and today are flat as a pancake so a lot less for folk to post about!
Good luck if you get on anything 👍

Brazilian Campeonato Carioca
Boavista to score 4-5 NAP
BTTS 6-5 NB
Both at Paddy power.
LONGSHOT BTTS and over 2.5 goals 2-1 (Betway bet builder)
Big danger of this ending 0-1 especially if their serie A keeper Marcos starts, but hoping the home team continue their habit of notching at home.
If it was fluminense full 1st team they would surely win comfortably but it probably won’t be and their CAM team only played 2 days ago.
Boavista scored in their last 9 home CAM games over the last year with 7 of them ending in BTTS.
Prediction 1-2
