Home to Celtic B, haud me back!

A top-notch spin doctor would find a wee trophy somewhere and market this as the Captain Jock Stein Memorial Match.

 

Edit: * A pity the winners aren't playing Llanelli.

I don't know what's more upsetting. Being reminded that this sham of a tournament exists or having to read "FC Edinburgh" on that wee draw graphic.

I shall be attending f**k all Challenge Cup games.

You’re waiting until the B team players are in the Scotland National team at the 2026 World Cup to see the talent on display. 
 

Get these B teams to f**k and get more REAL teams from Tier 5 clubs in. Hopefully they’re humped in every fixture by actual clubs in front of empty stands.

Where do Hibs B play their matches? 

The Hibs training centre is not the greatest of places to watch football. Maybe they'd hire Ainslie Park for the Brechin game? 

I think they played at Civil Service Strollers' ground, Christie Gillies Park last season.

Would be surprised if they even bothered announcing crowds for these games.

Competition should be scrapped due to lack of interest.

No, they should just put it back to being a competition for teams in the Championship and below, but with the addition of a team from each of the Highland and Lowland leagues (highest ranked from the previous season - so either the winners, or the side relegated from League 2).

32 teams, straight knockout over 5 rounds. Done.

I was wondering what interest the Welsh and Irish have in this competition.

Can't really see why they want involved.

It's a bit like Celtic and Rangers being invited to the English League 1&2 cup comp.

Round 1 Draw5f6a0bff14c82cafc02f36a23b627065.jpg

Brutal for Buckie, Brechin and Cowdenbeath. Midweek away games in empty, nondescript parks playing against a kids’ team… romance of the cup 🙄

At least the rest got home games, or have already expressed their desire to playing against the reserve/youth teams of their premier league heroes.

Throw in the headcases from NI, the Welsh rugby team from England and a couple of bewildered English National  League into the next round, then tell me they haven’t completely f**ked this competition.

Either do what @The Master says with an open, random draw… or something like the league cup if they insist on seeding the Championship, League 1 and 2 teams
