This is certainly not an easy game, but then considering last season's farce anything other than East Stirlingshire would be a challenge. Forfar will give Saints a good game, and with guys like Paul Tosh playing I shudder to think how Kevin McGowne will cope.
The game will also mark former Saint David Lowing's first match at Love Street since leaving in summer 2003.
The full draw is:
Stenhousemuir v Arbroath
Airdrie Utd v East Fife
Dumbarton v Ross County
Queen of South v Albion Rovers
Stranraer v Raith
Peterhead v East Stirling
Brechin City v Cowdenbeath
Stirling Albion v Queen's Park
Morton v Gretna
Falkirk v Montrose
Berwick v Elgin City
St Johnstone v Alloa
Hamilton v Ayr Utd
St Mirren v Forfar
Partick Thistle and Clyde get byes into the next round.
