Shotts to take on Edinburgh City in round one !

So, after a year following the Junior Cup to it's conclusion it is now time for me to follow the winners of the 2011-12 Junior Cup into the Scottish Cup for 2012-13.

Shotts Bon Accord have qualified for the Cup as Junior Cup winners and in the first round they have been drawn at home to East of Scotland (Senior) League outfit Edinburgh City. The City have been playing in the Scottish Cup for x years now - since they inherited Meadowbank Stadium from Meadowbank Thistle when Thistle move out to Livingston and changed their name to (surprise) Livingston. For Shotts, this is their first ever foray into the Scottish Cup. Hence their tie against City on the 25th August will be an historic occasion. I am looking forward to it already .... and with the D3 teams entering in round two then a vist to Ibrox might await the winners !
