Challenge Cup holders Dundee United will play Alloa Athletic in the second round after avoiding a tie against Irish, Northern Irish or Welsh opponents.

Two sides from each of the countries were included in the second round draw, which paired Ray McKinnon's side with the Wasps at home.

Ireland's Sligo Rovers will face Falkirk while Bray Wanderers meet Elgin.

The New Saints and Connah's Quay Nomads from Wales were drawn against Livingston and Dumbarton respectively.

Northern Ireland's Linfield will play Albion Rovers or Spartans, depending on the outcome of the Coatbridge side's ineligible player that was fielded on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Crusaders have been drawn against Motherwell Colts, one of only six Premiership youth sides remaining in the competition.

The second round ties will be played across the weekend of September 2/3.
