Scottish Cup Format

This competition is the primary knockout tournament in Scottish football, often considered Scotland's equivalent of the FA Cup.

The First Round comprises of 60 clubs from the lower leagues of the Scottish football pyramid, with Championship sides only entering at the Third Round. Premiership teams join in at the Fourth Round, usually in January, at which point 32 competitors remain in the Scottish Cup.

All ties are contested over a single leg, with replays only used in the preliminary rounds as of the 2022/23 season. Member clubs of the Scottish FA voted in favour of scrapping replays from the First Round onwards, with matches to be decided by extra-time and penalties if necessary.

Scottish Cup History

This competition first ran in the 1873/74 season, with Queen's Park capturing the trophy in each of the first three editions of the tournament. 2,500 people attended the inaugural Scottish Cup final at the old Hampden Park. Queen's Park ran out 2-0 winners over Clydesdale.

Celtic FC won the Scottish Cup for the first time in 1892, and Rangers matched this feat two years later. These clubs have gone on to become the two most decorated in the history of this famous tournament.

The Scottish Cup final is typically held at Hampden Park, the venue used for home games of the Scotland national team. However, a handful of finals have previously been staged at Celtic Park or Ibrox Stadium.

No matter the venue, or the opponents, you can be sure that supporters of both teams involved in the Scottish Cup final will be buzzing come match day.
