Dougie Samuel’s men earned their place in the 2nd Round draw with a 2-0 win against Edinburgh University at Peffermill on Saturday, thanks to two goals from on form striker Donal Henretty.
Meanwhile Edinburgh City will host Fraserburgh at Meadowbank, Whitehill Welfare will travel to Forthbank to face Stirling Albion, and Preston Athletic will face Queens Park in Glasgow.
