| 15. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 27th May 2026. 15:19 The way this competition is set up is it inevitable that the Championship team will always play the Premiership team away from home? That`s the way it`s always been with us I think. In fact we may have beaten SM in Paisley a few seasons ago. Reply |

Can’t remember a win….might be wrong…memory not what it was… What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 18. Author: Lucho_8 Date: Wed 27th May 2026. 16:29 We did beat them in that cup I’m sure too, we were wearing a yellow away strip and we were 3-0 up at HT. Finished 3-2 and Andy Ryan and beadling were on the scoresheet. Would need to look it up to confirm. Reply |
| 19. Author: desparado Date: Wed 27th May 2026. 16:44 We did indeed beat them 3-2. Can’t remember it. We lost 1-0 in another game , same cup… What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
