Wikipedia - Scottish Cup
The Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the Scottish Cup (Scots: Scots Cup; Scottish Gaelic: Cupa na h-Alba), is an annual association football knock-out cup competition for men's football clubs in Scotland. The competition was first held in 1873–74. Entry is open to all 122 clubs with full membership of the Scottish Football Association (SFA), along with up to eight other clubs who are associate members. The competition is called Scottish Gas Men's Scottish Cup for sponsorship reasons.
Although it is the second oldest competition in association football history, after the English FA Cup, the Scottish Cup trophy is the oldest in association football and is also the oldest national trophy in the world. It was first presented to Queen's Park, who won the final match of the inaugural tournament in March 1874. The current holders are Celtic, who won the tournament for the 42nd time by defeating Rangers 1-0 in the 2024 final.
History
The Scottish Football Association was founded in 1873 and the Scottish Cup was created as an annual competition for its members. The first Scottish Cup match took place on 18 October 1873 when Renton defeated Kilmarnock 2–0 in the first round. In its early years the competition was dominated by Queen's Park who won the final 10 times in the first twenty years. Vale of Leven, Dumbarton and Renton were also successful during this period. In 1885, the record margin of victory in the tournament was recorded when Arbroath defeated Bon Accord 36–0 in a first round match. It was also the highest scoring professional football game recorded in history.
Trophy
The Scottish Cup trophy is the oldest national trophy and also the oldest association football trophy in the world. It was made by silversmith Martin Hall & Co in London in 1873 and has been presented to the winners of the tournament since 1874. The solid silver trophy is 50 cm (1 ft 8 in) in height and weighs 2.25 kg (72 ozt). The original trophy is displayed at the Scottish Football Museum at Hampden Park. It is removed once each year to be cleaned and presented to the tournament winners. After the presentation ceremony, the trophy is returned to the museum. A replica of the original trophy is given to the tournament winners after the ceremony and is also used for promotional purposes.
The Scotland FA Cup, one of the oldest and most prestigious knockout football tournaments in the world, showcases the rich heritage and passion for the beautiful game in Scotland. Established in 1873, this iconic competition brings together clubs from across the nation, ranging from professional teams in the Scottish Premiership to amateur sides from the lower leagues, creating a unique blend of talent and determination.
Each year, the tournament captivates fans with its thrilling matches, dramatic upsets, and unforgettable moments. The early rounds see lower-tier teams face off against established clubs, often leading to fairy-tale stories of underdogs triumphing against the odds. As the tournament progresses, the intensity builds, culminating in a grand final held at the historic Hampden Park in Glasgow, where the nation's footballing pride is on the line.
The Scotland FA Cup is not just about the competition; it embodies the spirit of community and camaraderie, drawing supporters from all walks of life. Fans don their team colors, filling stadiums with an electric atmosphere, as they cheer on their clubs in pursuit of glory. The tournament also serves as a platform for emerging talent, providing young players the opportunity to shine on a national stage.
With its storied history, the Scotland FA Cup remains a cherished tradition in Scottish football, celebrating the sport's roots while inspiring future generations. Whether you're a lifelong supporter or a newcomer to the game, the excitement and unpredictability of the Scotland FA Cup make it a must-watch event in the football calendar.
