This round sees the ten League Two sides enter the competition, joining the 30 sides who advanced from the First Round.

Scottish Junior Cup champions Johnstone Burgh are one of only two sides who have had to play three matches to reach this stage, having entered in Preliminary Round One. After seeing off Irvine Meadow XI, Whitburn Juniors and Threave Rovers, they now face an away tie against Camelon Juniors.

Dundee North End, who reached Round Three last year before losing to Airdrieonians, have also enjoyed three wins over Culter, Whitehill Welfare and Strathspey Thistle, and they also now have a tricky away match against Lowland League Tranent.

Intriguingly, the two highest ranked sides in the competition at this stage, East Kilbride and The Spartans have both been drawn against each other.

Lowland League leaders Clydebank host East Stirlingshire from the same division, while Highland League leaders Formartine United get the action under way on Friday night when they host Buckie Thistle on BBC Scotland.

Bo'ness Athletic are also in action on Friday evening as they host Lowland League high-fliers Linlithgow Rose.

The full list of fixtures and potential postponement dates is listed at the bottom of the page.

The First Round in the women's competition will take place next weekend.

Scottish Cup Road Trip

The Scottish Cup trophy was in Clydebank this week, as the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup Road Trip continued.

After starting in Aberdeen last month, the cup visited the Bankies on Thursday ahead of their home match against The Shire.

The oldest trophy in world club football stopped off at a number of sites in Clydebank, including the Titan Clydebank, Clydebank Town Hall and Holm Park, home of Clydebank FC.

Bankies supporters also got to enjoy an ‘Evening with the Scottish Cup’ event at Clydebank Bowling Club, with supporters getting their photos taken with the trophy before enjoying a Q&A with former Clydebank players Tommy Coyne, Scott Murdoch and Mike Larnach.

Scottish Gas Men's Scottish Cup Third Round Draw

The draw for the Scottish Gas Men's Scottish Cup Third Round will take place on Sunday evening, live on the Scottish Cup Youtube Channel from 6pm.

Former Hibernian and Rangers midfielder Kevin Thomson - Scottish Cup winner in 2008 with the Ibrox side - will join host Gordon Duncan to conduct the draw.
