Scottish Cup: Clubs vote to end most replays this season

12 August 2022

Scottish Cup replays have been scrapped for this season's competition beyond the preliminary round, which kicks off on Saturday, 27 August.

It follows a vote of the Scottish FA's member clubs.

Replays were already not required from the fourth round onwards but will now also no longer take place in rounds one, two and three.

Extra time and penalties will be used to decide matches in all those rounds, if required.
