 2018–19 Scottish Cup | |
The Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup,[1] commonly known as the Scottish Cup[2][3] (Scots: Scots Cup; Scottish Gaelic: Cupa na h-Alba), is an annual association football knock-out cup competition for men's football clubs in Scotland.[1] The competition was first held in 1873–74. Entry is open to all 90 clubs with full membership of the Scottish Football Association (SFA), along with up to eight other clubs who are associate members.[4] The competition is called the William Hill Scottish Cup for sponsorship reasons.[5][6]
Although it is the second oldest competition in association football history, after the FA Cup, the Scottish Cup trophy is the oldest in association football and is also the oldest national trophy in the world. It was first presented to Queen's Park, who won the final match of the inaugural tournament in March 1874.[4] The current holders are Celtic, who won the tournament for a 38th time by defeating Motherwell 2–0 in the 2018 final.

The tournament starts at the beginning of the Scottish football season, in the middle of August.[7] The Scottish Cup Final is usually the last game of the season, taking place at the end of May.[7] Participating teams enter the tournament at different stages depending on their league ranking.[8] The lowest ranked clubs enter the tournament at the preliminary round whilst the highest ranked, those that compete in the Scottish Premiership, enter at the fourth round stage.
The 2006 final between Heart of Midlothian and Gretna was decided by a penalty shoot-out.
The competition is a knock-out tournament.[1] In each round of games the teams are paired at random, with the first team drawn listed as the home team. Every game lasts 90 minutes plus any additional stoppage time.[1] The winner of each game advances to the next round, whilst the loser is eliminated from the tournament. If a game ends in a draw, the fixture is replayed at the home ground of the other team at a later date.[1] If the replay also ends in a draw, 30 minutes of extra time is played followed by a penalty shoot-out if there is still no clear winner. In the semi-final and final rounds, if the game ends in a draw there is no replay; the winner is decided either in extra time or by a penalty shoot-out.[1]
The competition has a staggered entry system. For the 2018–19 edition, two preliminary rounds are contested by 19 clubs, featuring those qualifying from Junior and Amateur competitions plus clubs with full membership of the Scottish Football Association. Sixteen Highland League and fourteen Lowland League clubs begin in the first round. Scottish League Two clubs enter the second round along with the top two clubs from the previous season's Highland League and Lowland League. Scottish League One and six Scottish Championship clubs start in the third round, while the remaining four Championship clubs and all 12 Scottish Premiership clubs enter in the fourth round. [9]
Eligible clubs and players
Any club that is a full or associate member of the Scottish Football Association (SFA) is entitled to compete in the tournament.[1] Full members qualify automatically, which includes every team that plays in the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL), Highland League or Lowland League. Between 1895 and 2007, clubs that were SFA members but not competitors in the country's professional football leagues could only qualify for the tournament through the Scottish Qualifying Cup.[10]
Junior club Bonnyrigg Rose (in red) qualified to compete by winning the SJFA East Superleague in 2012.
Clubs which are not full members of the SFA may still qualify for the tournament by winning the East or South of Scotland football leagues, or the South & East of Scotland Cup-Winners Shield. Clubs that are members of the Scottish Junior Football Association (SJFA) have been able to qualify since 2007 by winning one of the three regional Super League divisions or by winning the Scottish Junior Cup.[10] Two junior clubs, Banks O' Dee and Girvan, are also full SFA members and therefore qualify automatically. Since 2015, the winners of the Scottish Amateur Cup are also eligible to qualify.[11]
Players that are registered with a competing club are eligible to play. However, players are not entitled to play for more than one club during the same tournament.[1] Each club names eleven players and up to five substitutes before every match.[1] In order to play in the final match, a player must have also been registered to compete in the semi-final round for the same club.[1] If a club fields a player that is not registered to play, the club may be expelled from the tournament.[1][12]
Venues
Before the semi-final and final rounds, the venue of each match is determined when the fixtures are drawn; the first club drawn in a fixture is named the home team and chooses the venue for the match, usually its own home ground.[1] In the event of a game ending in a draw, the venue for the replay is the home ground of the second club drawn.[1] The semi-final ties are played at a neutral venue;[1] usually Hampden Park in Glasgow.[13] On occasions when Hampden has been unavailable, such as when it was being renovated in the late 1990s and when it was being transformed into an athletics stadium for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the semi-finals have been hosted at Celtic Park and Ibrox Stadium, also in Glasgow.[13][14]
The semi-final and final games are hosted at Hampden Park.
Hampden Park also usually hosts the final match of the tournament.[1] The venue has hosted the majority of finals including the first in 1874. Other venues that have hosted the final in the tournament's early years are Hamilton Crescent, Kinning Park and Cathkin Park; all in Glasgow. The last game of the 1896 tournament is the only final that has been hosted outside Glasgow when rivals Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian played at New Logie Green in Edinburgh.[15] Hampden Park has held world and European records for the highest attendance, some of which were recorded at Scottish Cup games. The 1937 final played between Aberdeen and Celtic attracted a crowd of 147,365 spectators[4][16] which was a world record for a national cup final and remains a European record.[4]
European qualification
As Scotland is a member of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), the winner of the Scottish Cup qualifies to compete in European-wide competitions organised by UEFA. Between 1960 and 1998, the Scottish Cup winners qualified for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup along with winners of other domestic cup competitions across Europe before it was abolished.[17] The Scottish Cup winners now qualify to compete in the following season's UEFA Europa League (formerly known as the UEFA Cup).[18] It is possible for the Scottish Cup winners to have already qualified for a UEFA competition through their league ranking in the Scottish Premiership. In this scenario, the qualification spot passes to the highest ranked team in that competition not yet qualified, rather than to the Scottish Cup runners-up.[19][20] Until 2014, the Scottish Cup runners-up qualified for European competition if the cup winners had also qualified for the Champions League.[20]
History
Celtic F.C. are the side with the most Scottish Cup victories. The trophy is pictured second from left, alongside the 1907–08 team
The Scottish Football Association was founded in 1873 and the Scottish Cup was created as an annual competition for its members.[21] The first Scottish Cup match took place on 18 October 1873 when Renton defeated Kilmarnock FC 2–0 in the first round.[22] In its early years the competition was dominated by Queen's Park who won the final 10 times in the first twenty years.[23]Vale of Leven, Dumbarton and Renton were also successful during this period.[4] In 1885, the record margin of victory in the tournament was recorded when Arbroath defeated Bon Accord 36–0 in a first round match.[4][23]
Trophy
The Scottish Cup trophy is the oldest national trophy and also the oldest association football trophy in the world.[24][25] It was made by silversmith George Edward & Sons in Glasgow and has been presented to the winners of the tournament since 1874.[25] The solid silver trophy is 50 cm in height and weighs 2.25 kg.[23] The original trophy is displayed at the Scottish Football Museum at Hampden Park.[26] It is removed once each year to be cleaned and presented to the tournament winners.[27] After the presentation ceremony, the trophy is returned to the museum.[28] A replica of the original trophy is given to the tournament winners after the ceremony and is also used for promotional purposes.[26]
Performances
By club
A total of 34 clubs have appeared in the final, of whom 25 have won the competition.[29] The most successful club in terms of wins and appearances in the final is Celtic, with 38 wins from 57.[30] Celtic and Rangers have finished runners-up on more occasions than any other club with 18 defeats each in the final.[30] The most recent winner is Celtic, who defeated Motherwell 2–0 in the 2018 final.[30]

Domestic double and treble
Clubs that win the Scottish Cup can complete a domestic "double" by becoming Scottish league champions in the same season. Only three clubs have won both competitions in the same season.[32]Rangers have completed the double on 18 occasions, followed by Celtic on 16.[32] Aberdeen achieved the feat once in 1984.[32] Since the creation of the Scottish League Cup in 1947, clubs can complete a domestic treble by also winning this tournament in the same season. Rangers have achieved this on seven occasions, followed by Celtic on five.[32] In 2018 Celtic became the first Scottish team to win consecutive domestic trebles ("double treble"), having won the treble in both 2016–17 and 2017–18.
Cup "shocks"
Second-tier club Airdrieonians played in the 1995 final against top-tier Celtic.
Some clubs have become renowned for eliminating higher ranked clubs from the tournament despite being underdogs. Division Two club East Fife won the tournament in 1938 by defeating Division One club Kilmarnock, the first team from outside the top-tier of league football to win the trophy. East Fife had previously reached the final in 1927 after eliminating three higher ranked clubs in the preceding rounds.[33]Hibernian became the second second-tier side to win the cup as they defeated Rangers, another second-tier side, in the 2016 final. Only one other club from outside the top-tier of league football has won the competition; non-league Queen's Park defeated Celtic in the 1893 final.[note 2] Several other clubs have reached the final whilst competing outside the top-tier of league football, but were defeated in the final. These include Dumbarton, Kilmarnock, Airdrieonians, Falkirk (twice), Gretna, Queen of the South and Ross County.
In the rounds before the final some notable shocks have occurred. In 1959, Dundee were eliminated by Highland League club Fraserburgh despite having Scotland internationals in their squad.[34][35] A season later, Eyemouth United reached the quarter final stage of the tournament after defeating two higher league clubs.[36] In 1967, Berwick Rangers eliminated defending champions Rangers in the first round.[37] Other results regarded as shocks include Stenhousemuir's win against Aberdeen in 1995[34] and Albion Rovers' defeat of Motherwell in 2013.[38] Celtic's shock defeat by Inverness Caledonian Thistle in 2000 led to the famous[39] newspaper headline "Super Caley go ballistic, Celtic are atrocious".[39]
Sponsorship
The Scottish Cup has been sponsored several times since the first organisation backed the tournament in 1983. The sponsor has been able to determine the name of the competition.[40] There have been four sponsors since 1983 as well as several name changes within the duration of each sponsorship. The competition relies on revenue earned from these agreements although it ran without a title sponsor for over 100 years until the late 1980s.[41]

| Period | Sponsor | Name |
|---|---|---|
| 1873–1982 | No sponsor | Scottish Cup |
| 1983–88 | Scottish Health Education Group | Scottish Cup[40][41] |
| 1988–89 | No sponsor | Scottish Cup |
| 1989–2007 | Tennent Caledonian Breweries | Tennent's Scottish Cup[42] |
| 2008–10 | Scottish Government | Homecoming Scottish Cup in 2008–09[43] and the Active Nation Scottish Cup in 2009–10[44] |
| 2010–12 | No sponsor | Scottish Cup |
| 2012–present | William Hill | William Hill Scottish Cup[45][46] |
The Scottish Health Education Group was the first organisation to sponsor the Scottish Cup in 1983 with the largest sponsorship package in Scottish football at the time, worth around £200,000.[47] The partnership was praised for the promotion of a healthy lifestyle linked with football.[41] The deal ended in 1989 when Tennent Caledonian Breweries won the sponsorship rights. Tennent's association with the tournament raised the debate about alcohol sponsorship within sports following the riots at the 1980 Scottish Cup Final which resulted in the sale of alcohol being banned at Scottish sporting events.[41] Despite this controversy, the partnership was largely successful and lasted 18 years until 2007. The SFA received around £25 million over the duration of the sponsorship deal.[40] The Scottish Government in association with businessman Willie Haughey sponsored the Scottish Cup between 2008 and 2010. The 2008–09 competition was known as the Homecoming Scottish Cup to promote Scotland's year of homecoming and tourism.[43] The 2009–10 competition was known the Active Nation Scottish Cup to promote a healthy living through football.[44]Carling was an additional sponsor between 2010 and 2014 as the competition's official beer.[48] The current title sponsor is bookmaker William Hill.[45]

Notes
^ Tallies includes the appearance of Celtic and Rangers in the 1909 final, although neither club was declared the winner or runner-up.
^ The Scottish Football League was founded in 1890, seventeen years after the Scottish Cup, so all competitors between 1873 and 1890 were technically non-league.
