Irvine Meadow handed tricky Scottish Cup preliminary round one tie
Irvine Meadow have been handed a challenging Scottish Cup preliminary round one clash as they host Johnstone Burgh.
The fixture sees Medda boss Jamie McKim take on his former club - something he did last season when they were edged out on penalties in the Scottish Junior Cup quarter-finals.
The tie is scheduled for the weekend of August 9 and should the Medda progress, they would face an away day at either East of Scotland Premier Division side Whitburn or amateur outfit Steins Thistle on August 30 with the winner then reaching the first round proper.
The Meadow Park side enjoyed a prolonged run in the Scottish Cup last term, making it to the third round before being knocked out by SPFL League One side Stenhousemuir.
McKim's side get their West of Scotland Football League Division One campaign up and running on Saturday when they play host to Muirkirk Juniors.

SPFL side slam their own fans for 'embarrassing the club' after pyro halts FIRST competitive match of league season
ARBROATH have urged their fans to help them find two individuals who they say "embarrassed the club" by throwing pyro onto the pitch during the very first competitive match of the SPFL season The Gayfield side unfurled the League One title flag on Friday night against Ayr Utd as they put in an accomplished display in a 1-1 draw against Scott Brown's Championship promotion hopefuls. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Arbroath fans pyro forced a stoppage Credit: Kenny Ramsay 2 Arbroath fans pyro forced a stoppage Credit: Kenny Ramsay But the indcident was marred by a stoppage in play just after Jamie Murphy had opened the scoring for the visitors - caused by two players being thrown into the visitors goalmouth. It was captured live on BBC - with SPFL chief executive in attendance. League bosses are cracking down more closely than in recent seasons on pyrotechnics offences - particularly when stoppages are caused to live broadcasts. Celtic, Aberdeen and Partick Thistle were all served with notices of complaint for their fans' use of pyro in games at the end of last season - and it could cost the clubs ticket allocations at Hampden in future matches. Arbroath released a stinging response online, asking fans to shop their fellow supporters, and saying they're not the kind of fans they want at their matches going forward. They wrote: "We would like to thank over 1000 Lichties who attended Gayfield Park to support the team tonight - and we continue to value your support week in, week out as the league progresses. "However, we had two individuals throw burning pyrotechnic devices above our fans' heads in a confined space, which then landed on the pitch, damaging our playing surface while putting our fans, stewards and the players at severe safety risk. "Therefore it is within Arbroath FC's best interests to hold those accountable for their actions, as we strive for our stadium to be a safe place to attend. "To the two individuals - you have not only embarrassed yourselves, you have embarrassed the club within the community, on national television and in front of SPFL delegates. "This is not a fair representation of our club, and absolutely not the impression we wish to give on our return to the championship. Shocking moment Celtic fan's hair set on FIRE after wild pyro display at Hibs game "The current law on pyrotechnics is clear, they are forbidden within stadiums. The club has to follow the SPFL's unacceptable conduct rules, which highlights the possession and discharge of pyrotechnics - in which we as a club must demonstrate an appropriate response. "At this time we ask anyone that can identify the two individuals that have harmed our club and potential supporters to come forward to we can remove these types of individuals from our ground. "These are not the type of individuals we seek support from as they have demonstrated a clear lack of respect for our club, fans, players and safety of all."

Celtic host a St Mirren side who were shaky at the beginning of the Premier Sports Cup group stages before finishing with a flourish. Saints don't have European qualifiers to contend with at the start of this season and are tipped once again to be in and around the top six battle come the end of the season. They very nearly spoilt the trophy party at the end of the last season on the final day, when James Forrest scored in injury time to earn Celtic a final point of the season. Now they're looking to do the same again on Flag Day. Celtic's only competitive game since then came a week later when they lost the Scottish Cup final to Aberdeen. There has been discontentment amongst the Hoops support at an apparent lack of transfer business with another Champions League campaign on the horizon. Shin Yamada, Benjamin Nygren, Hayato Inamura, Ross Doohan and the return of Kieran Tierney on a free transfer has so far underwhelmed the supporters. And it remains to be seen if that lack of money spent could come back and bite them, should Rangers mount a challenge under their new ownership and management. Pre-season has been mixed, with an impressive 4-0 win over Newcastle here being backed up by a 5-1 thumping by Ajax less than a week later.
