Not Jim Ballantyne Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 As the title really - what was the last team to win the Scottish Cup having entered in the first round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesM82 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Aberdeen in 1969/70. Although that involves a bit of cheating, because a couple of earlier rounds were called "preliminary rounds". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969–70_Scottish_Cup The last time that it was all in from the first round was 1963/64, which was won by Rangers. They beat Stenny in round 1, Duns (?!) in round 2, Partick R3, Celtic QF, Dunfermline SF and Dundee in the final. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1963–64_Scottish_Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Duns - county town of Berwickshire - were an East of Scotland League club until the mid-1970s, then again for a seasons until last year. No-one has ever won coming through qualifying, so the last time someone truly won starting at beginning was Hearts in 1890-91. Only time a qualifier reached the Final was Albion Rovers in 1919-20; also finished bottom of top division... epic run:Scottish Qualifying Cup R1 ... Albion Rovers 3-0 Paisley GSFP R2 ...

Hearts 7-2 Raith R2 ... walkover from Burntisland Thistle R3 ... Methlan Park 0-3 Hearts R4 ... Ayr 3-4 Hearts R5 ... Hearts 5-1 Morton R6 ... Hearts 3-1 East Stirlingshire SF ...

HibeeJibee Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (Unless I'm being whooshed)... Third Lanark and Dumbarton were top division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Dumbarton were going for the League and Cup double! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Indeed. Also won the SFL Charity Cup (only time contested) - beat Rangers in SF only 5 days before drawing with them in league title playoff; Dunbartonshire Cup; and Greenock Charity Cup.
