SECOND Division promotion contenders Armadale Thistle are the visitors to New Countess Park this evening (Tuesday).

The West Lothian side will be looking to spring a surprise in the third round of the East of Scotland Qualifying Cup.

They come in good form having lost just three of their opening 13 league encounters and sitting second in the third tier of the East of Scotland Football League.

 

 

Dunbar have also enjoyed a fruitful season since returning to the Premier Division.

A 1-0 defeat to Musselburgh Athletic at the weekend saw them slip to fifth in the standings but they have enjoyed impressive form both in the league and the Scottish Cup.

Victory for Kevin Haynes and his team would mean a trip to either Dundonald Bluebell or Haddington Athletic.

Tonight’s game kicks off at 7.30pm.

Meanwhile, Tranent look to continue their unbeaten run when they travel to Caledonian Braves in the Scottish Lowland Football League.

The Belters picked up a point against Berwick Rangers on Saturday after coming from two goals down to draw 2-2.

It will also mark the second testing match in a row for Caledonian Braves.

They lost 2-1 to league leaders East Kilbride on Saturday and now sit 12th in the Lowland League table.

The contest at Alliance Park kicks off at 7.45pm.
