MAGIC OF THE CUP
The Scottish Cup is the second oldest cup competition in world football, heralding from 1873, with the most recent champions being Celtic. As Scotland’s newest club, we’ll be looking to make a splash in the 1st Round, by replicating last season’s 6-1 victory over Newton Stewart. With big clubs awaiting in the later rounds, how far can the Braves go this year?!
