South of Scotland League 17-18

The South of Scotland League is a league competition which sits in the second tier of the SFA’s “pyramid”, below the Lowland League and parallel with the East of Scotland League.

There is no automatic promotion or relegation from this league – the winners take part in a play off with the East of Scotland League if licensed.  The winners are entitled to enter into the Scottish Cup if they are not already a licensed SFA member club.

There are currently fifteen member clubs who play each other home and away to give a programme of thirty games.  Edusport Academy won the league last season and became the first club to win promotion into the Lowland League.

Their loss and the withdrawal of Wigtown & Bladnoch has been counteracted with three new clubs for 2017-18 – Bonnyton Thistle, from Kilmarnock and the Under 20 sides of Annan Athletic and Stranraer.
