The Scottish Junior Cup

The Scottish Junior Cup is a knockout football (soccer) competition for clubs in Scotland classified as "junior," which refers to a level below the senior professional leagues. It has been held annually since 1886, featuring teams from local and regional leagues. The tournament culminates in a final held at a prominent venue, with the winner earning prestige and a historic trophy. While "junior" doesn't relate to age, it signifies the level and status within Scottish football. The competition fosters community spirit, developing local talent and maintaining a rich tradition within Scottish grassroots football.
