HIGHLIGHTS: THREAVE ROVERS 1-3 UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING

Ten-times Scottish Cup winners Queen’s Park were knocked out of last year’s competition by Albion Rovers, the same club that eliminated the University of Stirling in Round Two. The University can take encouragement from the performance of Lowland League rivals Spartans in last year’s tournament. The Edinburgh side reached the Last 16 stage and Shelley says that run has given her team hope: “Spartans was such a fairytale story. They do everything right in terms of the infrastructure and it certainly gives everyone else hope that you can do it. “There are always shocks in the cup and they had some tough teams and done brilliantly. No matter who they got I think everyone was rooting for Spartans last season. Anything can happen in the cup and that’s what makes it a special competition.” “The carrot of playing tougher opposition and the big guns is fantastic. Last season we drew Albion Rovers and they subsequently went on to win promotion. On one side of the coin you’re hoping for an easier tie so you can progress but people want to come to the bigger ties.” Former Arsenal and Scotland WU19s manager Kerr has been Head Coach at Stirling since 2014 and remains the only female manager in UK men’s senior football. She is looking forward to testing herself against Queen’s Park manager Gus MacPherson, a man who knows what it’s like to lift the Scottish Cup having done so with Kilmarnock back in 1997. Shelley added: “Gus is a quality manager with a proven track record. They won’t want any shocks and I know they’ve been out to watch us, so there’s obviously a mutual respect from both teams. It is a historic club but our guys always look forward to playing in the Scottish Cup.” For all the highlights from this year's competition and the story behind #Unrivalled, visit scottishcup.co William Hill Scottish Cup - Second Round fixtures
