The Road to Hampden continues this weekend with sixteen second round ties and the entry of the ten League Two clubs into the Scottish Cup.
A double-bill of action at the Forthbank Stadium in Stirling catches the eye with Stirling Albion hosting Highland League Strathspey Thistle at 3pm on Saturday afternoon.
Strathspey's first round victory was their first ever in the competition and they will travel down with hopes of an upset against the side currently sitting bottom of League Two.
Admission prices are £12 Adults, £8 Seniors & Students, £5 Under 16's and free for Under 12's.
An interesting development in the game over the past few years has been the emergence of university football teams such as Cardiff Met in the Welsh Premier League and both University of Stirling and Edinburgh University in the Scottish Lowland League (the Highland League equivalent and with a route into League Two via a play-off system).
With excellent facilities and the prospect of an academic education to run alongside a football one it is surely a route that more young players will take in the future.
University of Stirling take on Linlithgow Rose at Forthbank on Sunday at 3pm with tickets priced at £6/£3.
