DUNFERMLINE have been handed a tough trip to the Highlands in the first round of the Irn-Bru Cup.
The Pars will make the journey to play cup holders Inverness after the draw was made earlier this afternoon.
Allan Johnston's men crashed out of the tournament last season in a 2-0 defeat to Falkirk in the third round.
Inverness went on to lift the trophy for the second time in their history after defeating Dumbarton 1-0 courtesy of an injury-time winner.
The tie between the Championship rivals will take place on either Tuesday 14 or Wednesday 15, August.
