Highland League – 20-21

The Breedon Highland League was instituted in 1893 and sits immediately below Scottish League Two in the SFA’s “pyramid”, parallel with the Lowland League.

There are currently seventeen member clubs who play each other home and away to given a programme of 32 games. The League champions play off against the Lowland champions for the right to challenge League Two’s bottom club for a place in the SPFL.

Cove Rangers won the title in 2018-19 and won promotion into League Two by defeating Berwick Rangers.  Last season, Brora Rangers were leading the championship when it was halted by the COVOD-19 pandemic and were denied a shot at the play offs after they were cancelled throughout the SPFL.

This season, a delayed start was agreed.  Forres Mechanics decided to sit out the season, leaving sixteen clubs scheduled to compete.
