Format edit

The competition is a single elimination knock-out competition. In each round, fixtures are determined by random draw, with the first to third rounds seeded according to last season's league positions (higher 50% of finishers drawn v lower 50% of finishers, alternating which is at home with each tie drawn).

Fixtures are played to a finish, with extra time and then penalties used in the event of draws. The competition is open to all clubs in the Scottish Professional Football League. Clubs involved in European competitions are given a bye to the third round in order to avoid congestion of fixtures.

  • First round: All 30 sides from the previous season's Scottish Football League enter including Partick Thistle.[1]
  • Second round: The 15 winners of the first round are joined by last season's seven lowest placed teams in the SPL not in European competition, including relegated Dundee.[1]
  • Third round: The 11 winners of the second round are joined by the four SPL sides participating in European competition (Celtic, Motherwell, St Johnstone & Hibernian) and the highest placed SPL finisher not in European competition (Inverness Caledonian Thistle).[1]
  • Quarter-finals: The 8 winners of the third round play.[1]
  • Semi-finals: The 4 winners of the quarter-finals play.[1]
  • Final: The 2 winners of the semi-finals play.[1]
