Dancing on the streets of Buckie

Christmas came early to Buckie as the Thistle players tuned in to the draw for the Scottish Cup.

On Saturday afternoon a penalty shoot-out victory away to Broxburn Athletic after a 2-2 draw put them in the big time as the Premiership clubs joined the draw.

With more than two thirds of the draw completed the Highland League side remained in the bowl alongside two big clubs from Glasgow.

Celtic were drawn at home in the fourth last tie, next out was Buckie and the celebrations kicked off as their dream draw fell into place.

It is going to be a long wait now until the weekend of January 20 with Viaplay Sports almost certain to televise the match live.

By the looks of things a Saturday tea-time slot would be perfect, afterwards the players can enjoy a night out in Glasgow with memories to last a lifetime.

Currently sitting in fifth place in the table, on Saturday Buckie are away to Deveronvale in the Highland League.
