Brechin City 1-1 East Fife

Brechin and East Fife face a Scottish Cup third round replay after battling their way to a keenly-contested draw.

Both sides had chances in the first half and Brechin went close when a drive from Adam Nelson was turned over.

But the home side kept battling and equalised in the 74th minute through a Darren Gribben penalty before East Fife had Kevin Fotheringham sent-off.
