The Scottish Challenge Cup is the cup of Scottish soccer that the two big clubs are absent from. Celtic and Rangers do not enter their first team: they appear only through their B sides and under-21s, like the rest of the top flight. In a country where those two have shared almost every title for decades, that changes everything at stake: it is the one national trophy they cannot win, and the one a second or third-tier club can aim at without having to knock them out. The bracket mixes the professional divisions, the regional leagues and reserve sides, which makes every draw hard to read. Matches are played in the evening, in midweek, British time.
