Hearts will face a home tie against third division Elgin City following today's Co-operative Insurance Cup second round draw.

The names were pulled from the hat at the Queen's Park FC Social Club at the National Stadium, Hampden Park.

Full ticket information will be released in due course with club officials in discussions today, although the tie will go ahead on either Tuesday, August 24 or Wednesday, August 25.

Hearts boss Jim Jefferies was delighted with the home draw, saying: "In any cup competition you want to have home advantage so in that respect it's a good draw for us.

"However, it will be Elgin's cup final so we certainly cannot afford to underestimate them."
