2020–21 Scottish Cup

Football tournament season

The 2020–21 Scottish Cup was the 136th season of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. The tournament did not have a sponsor, after William Hill's nine-year partnership with the Scottish FA came to an end following the 2019–20 tournament.[1]

Quick Facts Tournament details, Country ...

This was the second season in which a match from every round of the tournament proper was broadcast live via TV partners Premier Sports and BBC Scotland, with one match in the first and second rounds being shown live on the BBC Scotland channel for the second time.

The defending champions were Celtic, who won the 2020 Scottish Cup Final on 20 December 2020.[2] Celtic lost to their Old Firm rivals Rangers in the fourth round, which was their first defeat in the competition since 2015–16.[3]

St Johnstone were the winners of the Scottish Cup, beating Hibernian 1–0 in the final on 22 May to complete a historic cup Double, becoming only the 2nd ever team outside of the Old Firm to do so since Aberdeen in the 1989–90 season.[4][5]

Calendar

The calendar for the 2020–21 Scottish Cup, as announced by Scottish Football Association on 27 October 2020.[6] On 11 January 2021, the competition was suspended by the Scottish FA due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland.[7] On 3 March 2021, new dates for the competition were announced.[8]

The format featured several changes from the previous season because of the increased number of eligible clubs and the tournament's compressed schedule. Due to the potential for fixture congestion during the COVID-19 pandemic, replays were not played during the 2020–21 competition.[9]
