Player-manager Martin Scott’s side made it into the last eight by beating Vale of Leithen 3-0 in a play-off on Tuesday night, April 12, having drawn 0-0 against the Innerleithen side previously and been beaten 1-0 by Berwick in their three-team pool.

Honours are even between Rovers and Broomhill this Scottish Lowland Football League season, the Borderers having beaten the Glaswegians 3-0 at Alloa’s Indodrill Stadium back in October but lost 3-1 to them at home last weekend.

Gala, in 11th place in the league with 37 points from 30 games, are three places and three points better off than their opponents, having played three games fewer.

Prior to their cup tie, they’ve got a league match away to Rangers B tomorrow night, April 15, at Dumbarton’s C&G Systems Stadium, with kick-off at 7.45pm.
