The draw for the First Round of the Scottish Gas Men's Scottish Cup took place on Sunday evening, with 2016 victor Dylan McGeouch making the draw alongside host Gordon Duncan.
The former Scotland international lifted the cup with Hibernian in 2016 as they defeated Rangers 3-2 in a memorable final.
He completed the mammoth Round One Draw, which involved 60 balls, producing 30 ties.
The First Round sees the sides advancing from the Second Preliminary Round joined by the Highland League and Lowland League teams.
The ties will be played on the weekend of Saturday, 27 September.
The two highest ranking sides in the competition at this stage are Lowland League leaders Linlithgow Rose and Highland League pacesetters Brora Rangers and both sides were awarded home ties, against Gala Fairydean Rovers and Fraserburgh respectively.
Fraserburgh will be hoping to repeat their run to the Fourth Round from last season, with the Broch eventually losing to Rangers at Ibrox.
Another side who reached Round Four last season were Broxburn Athletic and they have been handed a tricky away tie to fellow Lowland League side Bonnyrigg Rose.
The three other sides who got as far as the Fourth Round last season, Brechin City, Clydebank and Musselburgh Athletic, will take on Lochee United, Jeanfield Swifts and Bonnyton Thistle respectively.
Scottish Cup debutants Invergordon travel to Glenafton Athletic, while Johnstone Burgh - also making their first ventures in the competition - are rewarded for their two away victories in the Preliminary Rounds, with a home tie against Threave Rovers.

Speaking after the draw, midfielder McGeouch reflected on his favourite memories in the Scottish Cup, particularly on the 2015/2016 season which saw Hibs lift the Scottish Cup for the first time since 1902.
He said: "There were a few bumps in the road during that season. I remember we went to Tynecastle and we were 2-0 down and pulled it back to 2-2 with Paul Hanlon scoring late on which got us a return leg at Easter Road which we went on to win.
"Looking back, it was a really good Hibs team. It had a bit of everything. It had a good mix of youth and experience. We all got on off the pitch - we didn't take ourselves too seriously and we were really good mates who played well for each other.
"Ourselves and Rangers were both in the Championship and we'd played in a lot of big games. The rivalry was there and you knew it was a big club you were playing against so to go and beat them in the way we did was huge for the club.
"I'd struggled with my groin in the lead up to the game and I was touch and go, so I was buzzing to get through the 90 minutes but I knew I might struggle with extra-time, so when David Gray popped up with the goal it was unbelievable because it won us the cup, but also saved me an extra 30 minutes.
"It's nearly 10 years but I still remember the celebrations very clearly. Obviously the dressing room after the game was amazing, and then getting on the bus back through. We got a police escort through to Edinburgh and everyone was hanging out of the cars celebrating.
"Our midfield then, especially was a joy to play in with the likes of Kevin Thomson, John McGinn, Fraser Fyvie, Marvin Bartley and Liam Henderson. We had strength in depth and everyone still talks to me about that midfield."
Captain Gray, who scored the winner that day in 2016, is now the Hibernian manager and McGeouch is delighted to see his old teammate achieve success in his management role, with Hibs recovering from a slow start to finish 3rd last season.
He added: "I didn't necessarily assume he would be a manager, but looking back you could see his qualities. He had leadership qualities and when he spoke, people listened. He would fight for his players for bonuses and anything we needed.
"Obviously Hibs had a tough time last season at the start and probably if it wasn't him, they would've looked somewhere else, but they gave him that time and within a few weeks it suddenly turned 180 degrees.
"They're flying now. Although they unfortunately went out, they did really well in Europe in some big games and look a strong team in the league too. I'm glad they gave him time and it's paying off for them now.
"It's interesting this season to see a strong Hibs and Hearts. When the two of them are going at it and are strong, it's good for Scottish football. The Hibs fans want the team to keep pushing, in terms of investment, and to be finishing, hopefully 2nd or 3rd."
After leaving Hibs, McGeouch had spells at Sunderland, Aberdeen, Forest Green Rovers and Carlisle, but he now finds himself without a club as he looked to continue his football career.
"I had an injury at the end of last season which took me to the end of my contract at Carlisle so I knew I was going to be moving on," he said.
"For the last couple of years, the PFA have run a pre-season camp down south for players who are out of contract and I've spent time there over the past few months. I've now played in three games and had lots of training and it basically replicates pre-season at a club.
"It's a good standard and it means, hopefully, when I get the call I'll be up to speed and won't have been left behind.
"I'm open to anything really. I'm fit and looking to speak to anyone who is interested. I still feel like I've got a lot in the legs and a lot to give over the next few years so I'm just waiting to see what happens.
"I'm not going to moan, because there's a lot of positives as well but it's tough. One of the negatives, especially when you've got a family, is that you can be on the move and things can change overnight.
"In a situation like just now, it can be a bit stressful, when you've got a family but I just need to believe on the process, keep myself right and hopefully I can get in somewhere and kick on again".
