Aberdeen will travel to Forthbank to face Stirling Albion in the second round of the Viaplay Cup.
The Dons were paired with the League One Binos, managed by former club captain Darren Young, who beat St Johnstone 4-0 at McDiarmid Park on Saturday to secure one of the three best runners-up places in the last 16 behind Ayr United in Group A.
It will be the second meeting in a year between the sides after the Dons beat Stirling Albion 5-0 in the group stage last summer in what was Duk’s debut for the club.
