Huntly's home match against Cumbernauld Colts and Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic v Bo'ness United didn't survive the weather while Dundonald's home tie against Queen's Park will be live on BBC Scotland on Monday night.

Camelon v Brora Rangers was unfortunately abandoned at half-time due to worsening weather conditions.

For this season only there are no replays which meant the games that ended in a draw after 90 minutes went to extra-time and penalties if required.

The Headlines

It is Tranent Juniors debut season in the Scottish Cup and they are into the second round draw after a convincing 4-1 win over East Stirlingshire.

Buckie Thistle and Linlithgow Rose both knocked out SPFL opposition in the first round. Buckie won 3-0 away at Albion Rovers and Linlithgow Rose came from 2-1 down to beat bottom of League 2 Brechin City 3-2. Scott Stevenson with the winner.

Stranraer were the biggest winners of the day beating Lowland League side, Spartans 5-0 at Stair Park. There were also comfortable wins for Stirling Albion away to Berwick Rangers, Stenhousemuir at home to Preston Athletic and Edinburgh City at home to Caledonian Braves.

Haddington Athletic and Jeanfield Swifts were both in the first round for the first time but 2-1 defeats for both sides meant it was the end of the road for them this season.
