Based on fourth-round evidence, top-flight Falkirk should be aware of banana skins when they go to Stenhousemuir - live on the BBC - in the weekend's final tie on Sunday (19:30 GMT). Among the 15:00 kick-offs on Saturday, Dundee United welcome Spartans. Despite being out of form, it seems unthinkable that the top-tier club would lose at home to the fourth-tier leaders. However, United boss Jim Goodwin reminded BBC Scotland of his rough record against lower-league sides following a late 3-2 defeat at Hibernian on Wednesday. Goodwin's United suffered defeat at Spartans in July 2023 in the League Cup groups, and it was his Aberdeen side that infamously lost at sixth-tier Darvel in the Scottish Cup six months prior.
