stanley Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Wikipedia (I know it isn't a reliable source) lists Albion Rovers 8-2 Vale of Atholl in the first round in 1956-57. John Byrne's Scottish Cup book lists Albion Rovers as having a bye and omits Vale of Atholl. Which one is correct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) It's listed as an 8-2 win for Albion Rovers in the Herald on Monday 3rd September 1956. Edited January 30, 2021 by craigkillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfha Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Deffo 8-2 to Albion. As they were in the 5 team section 9 of the League Cup they didn't have a fixture so they played their first round tie a week before the rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The best season of the Scottish Cup imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivo den Bieman Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I had never heard of Vale of Atholl! Club now plays in the second division of the Perthshire Amateur League so still going. A long way back if they are ever to feature in the senior Scottish again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 6 figure crowd at a final with no involvement from Rangers (1872) or Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free beer Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 John Byrne's book has a number of errors. The most comprehensive and accurate results set for the Scottish Cup is at: Scottish Cup Results 1873-date 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Sturrock scored 100 goals for them in 1972-73 and had a spell coaching them during his Dundee United days.
