Scottish Cup 22-23

The second oldest national cup competition in the world, but with the oldest surviving trophy, the Scottish Cup has been contested since 1873-74.

All full licensed members of the Scottish Football Association are eligible to take part, together with a number of unlicensed qualifiers, for example the winners of the Scottish Junior Cup and Scottish Amateur Cup.

At one time, the Scottish Cup format was pretty straightforward – everyone went into the hat at the First Round.

In keeping with other national cup competitions, the SFA have complicated things by staging entry across preliminary rounds and the first four ‘proper’ rounds depending on what league clubs play in.

Rangers are defending the Cup this season after beating Hearts in the 2022 final.
