William Hill Scottish Cup 2019/2020


Recommended Posts

According to the domestic cup thread today is the day the draw is made for the 1st preliminary round of the Scottish Cup to be played on Saturday 10th August with the 2nd preliminary round due on Saturday 31st August. 

If yer lucky enough to survive both rounds then the 1st round proper is on Saturday 21st September. 

A lot of new teams entering this season.

Best of luck to you all.

Seems a false alarm from the domestic cup thread,nothing happening today then. 

Canny be far away now though if you go with other years.  

This is the SFA we are talking about, for all we know they might realise the day before the matches are due to be played that they have to do a draw. And then they'll probably be shocked if Newton Stewart complain they don't have enough time to arrange a trip to Golspie Sutherland...

As per the screenshot posted by NB there are 16 EOSL clubs in the draw - of whom any but Camelon can receive a single random bye in R1. (For some reason in PR1 the bye is drawn randomly, not assigned by league position, meaning it doesn't automatically go to Whitehill).

There are also 4 SOSL clubs - Newton Stewart, St Cuthbert, Threave and Wigtown - plus NCL side Golspie. Finally some 6 Junior / Amateur clubs in quality terms ranging from Auchinleck, Lochee, Banks o'Dee and Colville Park down to Girvan and Glasgow Uni. Auchinleck, Lochee and Colville also cannot receive the bye.

With some 7 progressing from PR2 to R1 there must be hope of strong EOSL representation... Auchinleck the side specially to avoid, but also Lochee, BoD and perhaps Colville.

Don't want to write anyone off, but... 😋

Looks like Jeanfield v Linlithgow for a place in the first round.

I'd say Banks O'Dee, Broxburn, Hill of Beath, and Lochee favourites to join them.

Dundonald (and Camelon as well) will have their work cut out against Auchinleck.

Penicuik likely to have either two Midlothian derbies or a trip west against the amateur winners.
