Police have confirmed they are investigating a complaint of match-fixing.
It follows the Scottish Cup tie between Hawick Royal Albert and Huntly on Saturday.
Hawick, who play in the East of Scotland League, lost the match 7-0 to their Highland League opponents.
It is claimed several bets were placed at high odds, predicting the exact score, and also backing Hawick to concede a penalty.
A spokesman for the club said they had no knowledge about the claims while the Scottish Football Association said it could not comment on the inquiry.
"We will co-operate fully with any investigation," confirmed an SFA spokesman.
Lothian and Borders Police are investigating.
The match was one of 17 first round ties played in the competition at the weekend.
Hawick Royal Albert currently sit at the bottom of the East of Scotland League first division.
They have lost six of their seven league matches so far this season.
