Dougie Imrie's side were the second name out of the hat in Tuesday afternoon's live draw at Hampden, where they were paired against his former side, who won the trophy in 2023.

Ton secured their place in the draw with a 1-0 win over Cowdenbeath, thanks to Michael Garrity's second half strike.

It's the fourth time in a row that Ton have made it this far in the competition, and they're now aiming to reach the quarter-finals for the third season running.

Looking ahead to next month's tie, Imrie said: "The most important thing about any cup competition is to make sure that you're in the hat for the next round, which we are.

"Last season every cup tie was at home; this season is the polar opposite.

"We'll prepare for that game when it comes along and we look forward too it."
