That rearranged tie takes place on Tuesday night at Prestonfield Stadium, with kick-off at 7.45pm after the cold weather saw the match postponed on Saturday.

The winner of the match will host Stevie Hammell’s Motherwell on the weekend of February 11/12, with a handful of matches being picked for live television coverage by the BBC/Viaplay.

The Fir Park side beat Arbroath 2-0 over the weekend to reach this stage of the competition, with new signing Mikael Mandron grabbing a double at Gayfield.
