Brora Rangers are licking their lips at the prospect of taking on Premiership powerhouses Aberdeen in the group stage of the Scottish League Cup on Tuesday night.
Rangers fans at a packed Dungeon Park are hoping to celebrate a major upset to offset last week's 3-1 loss at Queen's Park in their Group A opener.
Premiership outfit Aberdeen will have to take it seriously against the Highland League champions but there were 34 places between these clubs in the Scottish pyramid and relatively new Dons' chief Stephen Robinson will hope that counts for something.
Brora Rangers vs Aberdeen Tips Summary
Best Bet - Aberdeen & Under 4.5 Goals @ 4/5

Brora Rangers vs Aberdeen Prediction
Best Bet: Aberdeen & Under 4.5 Goals @ 4/5
There should be a real gulf in class between Brora Rangers and Aberdeen, who can win this Group A tie easily enough.
The Dons, 1/28 shots, could do with starting their season well and this looks the ideal build-up for tougher group-stage tests against Queens Park and Queen of the South.
At this stage of the season, however, with rust still in place and Brora determined to put up a fight, it may not pay to foresee a battering. Indeed, think the other way perhaps and consider the visitors to win and under 4.5 goals.
Alternative Bet: No Goal After 82.59 @ 5/6
The match prices suggest a barrel load of goals but a late goal time set at 82.59 looks too late.
Hopefully Aberdeen will have the tie wrapped up long before the 83rd minute and with substitutions to disrupt the game don't go presuming there will be late goals.
The last goal in Brora's 3-1 loss at Queen's Park was the 73rd minute.
Brora Rangers vs Aberdeen Bet Builder Tip
Both Teams to Score - No
Aberdeen to Score in Both Halves
Goals Range - 2-4
Pays 11/5
Aberdeen ought to have far too much for Highland League champs Brora at Dungeon Park.
And that should manifest itself in the Dons, buoyed by an encouraging 2-0 win at Linfield at the weekend, scoring in both halves.
Their Premiership defence ought also to be able to keep out the part-timers.
A one-sided affair should not automatically mean a thumping and Brora can keep the match goals total down to between two and four.
