Coldstream FC have been around since 1895. They were founding members of the East of Scotland League in 1923 and currently play in the EoSL Second Division. As full members of the SFA they have participated in every Scottish Cup since 2007. Their ground is the appropriately named Home Park. Coldstream won the East of Scotland Qualifying Cup in 1948 (see above).

Morton visit Stark’s Park. Raith Rovers are sixth in the division with 17 points, Morton eighth with 11. The season is one-third over, putting Morton on track to finish with 33 points, not safe from relegation.

Morton have lost their last two matches, and in fact have beaten only one team, last-place Airdrieonians. Raith beat second-place Partick last week.

Coming into this weekend, the Championship clubs have played twelve games each, League 1 eleven each, and the Premiership and League 2 ten each.

When Nick Razzaghi’s CS St-Laurent knocked HFX Wanderers out of the 2024 Canadian Championship I bravely predicted that he would be the next Wanderers manager, but no, he’s gone to FC Supra.
