Match Preview

It's Scottish Cup Second Round day and the Jags make the short trip to Mosset Park to take on Forres Mechanics.

Buckie made it through to this round with a comprehensive 4-0 win at Tayport in Round One, thanks to a double from Joe McCabe and further strikes from Andrew MacAskill and Jack Murray.

Forres edged out North Caledonian League side Golspie Sutherland on penalties in the last round after a 1-1 draw, with former Jags keeper Lee Herbert saving two penalties in the shoot-out.

Thistle will be aiming for a deeper run in the competition, they've lost at the Second Round stage for the last three seasons to Broomhill, Kelty Hearts and Inverness Caley Thistle respectively. Forres will hope to avoid a third consecutive home defeat in the cup, they have lost out to Glasgow University and Bonnyrigg Rose respectively in the last two seasons at Mosset Park.

Mechanics will be without the suspended Jack Grant and the injured Lee Herbert, while Marcus Goodall, Shaun Wood and Kevin Fraser all miss out through injury for the Jags.
