Radio Clyde spoke to Dons boss Craig Brown who was representing the club at the League Cup draw which took place at New Douglas Park yesterday.
Brown said: "Every team wants a home draw but we've been handed a difficult away one. Dunfermline are well managed.
"Lower league sides also give it that bit extra against the top sides and we saw that happen in the last round.
All third round matches will be played on Tuesday 25th or Wednesday 26th September, 2012.
