Ties to be played on or before Sunday 20th August.

SWPL leaders Hibs host third-placed Celtic, whom they beat 4-1 last month in the League Cup Final.

Hearts, third in SWPL 2, will be up against regular league champions Glasgow City.

There’s a third all top-flight tie as Rangers entertain Stirling University, with the students having won both league meetings this term, 5-3 and 3-2.

Hamilton have lost ten of their eleven SWPL 1 fixtures but would hope to progress against Granite City, who sit fourth two levels below in SWFL Division 1 North.

Forfar will be favourites to beat Buchan, the SWPL 2 table-toppers put four goals past them earlier this month.

Jeanfield Swifts, mid-table in SWPL 2, have the advantage over Queens Park, who are down in tenth spot in SWFL Division 1 South.

In the same division, Renfrew are faring somewhat better and have an intriguing home tie with more senior opposition in Glasgow Girls.

SWFL 1 Cup winners Cumbernauld are six places ahead of Boroughmuir, whom they defeated 2-0 early in the campaign and meet again a week before the 3rd round tie.
