Raith Rovers have been drawn away to Scottish Lowland Football League side Linlithgow Rose in the third round of this year’s Scottish Cup.

Neill Collins’ side currently sit eighth in the William Hill Championship following a tough start to the season that saw ex-boss Ian Murray depart after an opening day defeat at Airdrieonians.

They’ll now travel to West Lothian on the weekend of Saturday, November 30 with ties subject to BBC Scotland picking a match for live television coverage.

Linlithgow Rose progressed to the third round after a 3-0 win over Clachnacuddin at home on Saturday, and they will be hoping to avenge the last competitive meeting between the sides.

Under former gaffer Murray, Rovers met the Prestonfield outfit in the Scottish Cup two seasons ago, winning 2-1 at Prestonfield last January thanks to a double from Jamie Gullan.

Last season, the Kirkcaldy club lost out in the fourth round, exiting the competition after a 2-1 loss against then-Premiership outfit Livingston.
