The Scottish Junior Cup is the most coveted prize for Scottish junior football clubs. It was first contested in 1886.
Almost all members of the Scottish Junior FA compete in the competition, and this season there is a total entry of 157 clubs. Islavale have not entered this season.
The Junior Cup is an open draw right from the start, although the junior clubs involved in the (senior) Scottish Cup have automatically been given byes to the second round in recent seasons.
Glenafton Athletic lifted the cup last season, beating Ayrshire rivals Auchinleck Talbot in the final.
