Our Premier Sports Cup group stage fixtures have now been confirmed for the 2021/22 campaign.

We’ll start with a trip to Glebe Park to take on Highland League side Brechin City on Saturday 10^th July before hitting the road again the following weekend on Saturday 17^th July to play Barry Ferguson’s Alloa Athletic.

Our only midweek tie will follow as we host Raith Rovers on Wednesday 21^st July before rounding off the group with our second home fixture against Cowdenbeath where we’ll welcome former manager Gary Bollan back to The Tony Macaroni Arena.

To recap –

• Saturday 10^th July – Brechin City (A) – 3pm
  
• Saturday 17^th July – Alloa Athletic (A) – 3pm
  
• Wednesday 21^st July – Raith Rovers (H) – 7.45pm
  
• Saturday 24^th July – Cowdenbeath (H) – 3pm

This means that we sit out of the second round of group fixtures on Tuesday 13^th July.

A reminder of the format – three points for a win and one point for a draw. Drawn matches in the group stage go straight to a penalty shoot-out, with the winners awarded a bonus point.

The eight group winners and three best runners-up qualify for the last 16, where they are joined by European entrants Rangers, Celtic, Hibernian, Aberdeen & St Johnstone

Should we progress, the knockout stage dates are as follows :

• Second round – Weekend of August 14/15
• Quarter-finals – Midweek of September 21-23
• Semi-finals – Weekend of November 20/21
• Final – Sunday December 19
