We also provided Fort William, Whitehill Welfare and Hurlford United with their only draws against league teams. Two of Deveronvale's three wins were against the Albion.

It was actually a Whitehill win in 1987, their sole victory. They’ve had, I think, 8 draws against league sides.

Thanks.

Yes, you guys have seriously underperformed in this competition.

Falkirk and maybe ICT biggest overachievers among league teams? We should definitely have at least one "9" in there though. 😥

If you went back to ICT's formation in 1994 they would rate more than a 'maybe'. Wins at Parkhead, Tynecastle and Motherwell as a lower-league side. Quarter-final in 1996 as a div 3 side. Semi-finals in 2003 and 2004 as a div 1 side. Knocked Celtic out twice, before doing it again in 2015.

Also, pre-1994, you could make a fair argument for Caledonian as the Talbot of their day.

Accepted.

I used to go along to the Caley Scottish Cup games despite being a Jaggy.

Ironically I was away on holiday when Thistle pumped Kilmarnock 3-0!!

Just been listening to Tam Cowan talking about supporting your rivals in Europe. No qualms back then in the HL.

Stirling Albion didn't play Whitehill in either 1986/7 or 1987/8, in 1989/90 we beat Whitehill 3-0 at Firs Park. It was Albion Rovers who lost 2-1 at Coatbridge to them in 1986/7.

Our draw with WW was 2-2 at Forthbank in 2013/14, we won the replay 2-1

Oops, sorry - the confusion is because I mistook you for a Rovers man. Everything is right otherwise. I was at both games in 2013-14 and I had the privilege of meeting old man McKenzie in the boardroom.

Updated table of non league results in the Scottish Cup before it starts again on Saturday. The table covers results since 2007 when the format changed.

Auchinleck Talbot still well ahead.  Buckie Thistle have moved into second place ahead of Linlithgow and Formartine still ahead in terms of wins against league clubs.

With replays being scrapped after Saturday's round Forres Mechanics will retain their dubious record of having the most draws.

Interesting that Talbot have had more wins in 7 seasons than HL/EoSFL/SoSfl teams that have been around for decades.

 

I make it 9 seasons.

A small consideration once the LL and HL were up and running properly. HL sides and any EoS/SoS sides you'd go on to class as a LL side would enter in the First Round. Then for a time the Top 2 sides in the HL/LL would enter the 2nd Round.  While Talbot would be in the Prelims providing an extra opportunity.

It's the calibre of wins Talbot have had that's most impressive.

Were Glasgow University and Girvan the only non league teams from the West to take part in the Scottish Cup pre it being opened to Juniors/Amateurs.

I've heard tell of Shawfield Amateurs taking part in the Scottish Cup in the 1950s.

Guessing they must have been full members of the SFA.

Several have made the Round of 16 aka for the last while the Fifth Round. Can't think of anyone that's made the Quarter finals stage.

Eyemouth United (59-60) & Elgin City (67-68) reached the quarter finals.


Queen's Park won in 1892-93, plus made 2 more Finals and 1 more SF. St Bernards and Broxburn Shamrock also made SF.

Since the last war Shawfield (last appeared 1956-57), and also Babock & Wilcox (hung in until 1972-73)...

There was also a single hurrah from Glasgow Corporation Transport: who made their debut in 1970-71, got R1 bye, lost 4-1 at Brechin in R2 but promptly never qualified again, never winning a tie or playing at home.

Many more who put in appearances between the wars:

Arthurlie, Beith, Dumbarton Harp, Dykehead, Galston, Helensburgh, Hurlford, Johnstone, Moorpark, Paisley Academical, Renton, Royal Albert, Stevenston United, Vale OCOBA, Vale of Leven

Moorpark actually kept trying qualify without success upto 1948-49. Clydebank were a non-league club in 1965-66 but failed to qualify.

We got to the quarter finals in 2011, admittedly we were a league club and if replays were not in operation I feel sure we would have gone onto win. 2-2 at Glebe v StJohnstone - replay was crap and we lost 1-0.
