    Beechwood is bursting at the seams. A typically tight ground and already the atmosphere is terrific. Both sets of fans in full voice. This should be a cracker of a cup tie.

  4. No Shankland for Honest Menpublished at 12:00 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January 2019

    Auchinleck Talbot v Ayr United (12:15)

    Ayr United are only three points behind Championship leaders Ross County but Ian McCall's side have been wobbling a bit of late and are without a win in five games, losing their last two league outings.

    Top scorer Lawrence Shankland missed those two defeats with a calf injury and the prolific striker is once again missing today.

    There is a Mark Shankland on the home bench, no relation...

    Auchinleck Talbot v Ayr United (12:15)

    Today's action starts with an Ayrshire derby, with Championship promotion contenders Ayr United visiting Auchinleck Talbot.

    The hosts play in the junior ranks but they are no strangers to the Scottish Cup and the club is steeped in silverware success at their own level.

    The TV cameras are at Beechwood Park, with Sportscene starting on BBC One Scotland at noon.

  7. No more call-offs expectedpublished at 11:49 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January 2019

    The winter break is over and, as luck would have it, the first scheduled match for a Premiership side was postponed due to the plummeting temperatures.

    Rangers' Friday night visit to Cowdenbeath was called off, with a section of the Central Park pitch frozen, much to the annoyance of the League Two club, who had enlisted the help of fans to lay down covers.

    "If it was Berwick Rangers, the game would have gone ahead in my opinion," said disappointed manager Gary Bollan.

    There's no suggestion of any call-offs today.
