There would need to be another major amendment to the SJFA's Constitution to allow Lowland League teams to take part in the Scottish Junior Cup, similar to what they did to accomodate the WoSFL teams who wished to take part.

...which is clearly something they are contemplating if they plan as publicly stated to invite tier 5 clubs next season. Hopefully common sense prevails and a way is found to merge the SCC and the SJC in the not too distant future.

Surely the SFA should take charge of an all in non league cup competition? 
Clubs in the LL won’t be interested in a competition that’s run by the now stunted SJFA?

You would like to think. The fact that it's being discussed at the Pyramid Working Group level suggests some involvement. The problem has been they have often then placed the administrative tasks onto non-league rather than take up responsbility themselves.

The SFA have asked the SJFA for their proposals for a competition.

Here's my prediction - the SJFA will come up with an idea and the LL won't make any dates available for the competition. However if whoever runs the SCC gets to run it, the dates will magically be available.

If the SJFA idea is that they run the competition, it would likely fail on that basis before any discussions over dates take place.

As for whoever runs the SCC (a committee represented by the LL, WoSFL, EoSFL, and SoSFL) would magically have dates available, not quite magic on how that would work. Since they'd be folding the SCC.

The main issue here is that the SFA should be seeking preferred formats on how the national non-league cup would work. Then administer it themselves.

Irvine Victoria Players sanctioned for the Pollok game are a Luke Running (2 Games) and John McWilliam (5 Games) . The Vics lined up: Taylor, Barrett, Dehan, MacDuff, Donnelly, Cryans, Miller, C.Walsh, Jackson, D.Walsh and Kipatrick. With Gray, Kellington, Callander, Farrel, Clark and Watters on the bench. Now that is fishy as f**k that not one member of the playing squad or coaching staff of the Vics has been punished. 

McWilliam is not a player, he's the Vics goalkeeping coach who ran out of their technical area onto the pitch and started the fighting.

Running was a non -playing Vics player there as a spectator who also came onto the field and joined in.

Vics have the goalkeeping coach down as Jim Catterson. Can’t think of many teams at this level having two!

McWilliams was a signed player at the time, not a member of backroom staff.  You are correct Jimbo is the goalkeeping coach. 😉
