Hearts in Bot's way yet again; SCOTTISH CUP.

AUCHINLECK'S history makers will head to Barry Ferguson's Kelty Hearts in a mouth-watering firstround Scottish Cup clash. Thirteen-time Scottish Junior Cup champions Talbot reached the last 16 of the senior competition for the first time last term.

A 4-0 defeat at Hearts ended their adventure but Tommy Sloan's side were back in the pot after negotiating two preliminary rounds against Dundonald Bluebell and Camelon.

Kelty signalled their ambition to get out of the Lowland League by signing up SPFL players such as Nathan Austin and Thomas Reilly in the summer.

And the club, bossed by ex-Rangers and Scotland midfielder Ferguson, did not do their cause any harm with Saturday's 10-0 trouncing of Gretna 2008.
