Supporters around the country will be daring to dream once again as the Scottish Cup returns for a new season.

The 2022-23 edition of the Scottish Cup begins this weekend, with 23 Preliminary Round ties taking place.

Syngenta and Threave Rovers kick off this season's tournament when they face off at Ochilview on Friday night - 97 days on from Rangers' extra-time triumph over Hearts in the 2021-2022 Final. 

The victors of that tie will take their place in the hat for Monday's First Round draw, while the rest of the Preliminary Round matches will be contested across Saturday afternoon.

Syngenta are one of 10 sides who are set to make their debuts in the Scottish Cup this weekend, while Pollok return to the competition for the first time in 14 years as they host Girvan at Newlandsfield Park on Saturday.

Clydebank, who knocked out Elgin City and Clyde in a fairytale run to the Fourth Round last season, begin their campaign at Holm Park against cup debutants Bonnyton Thistle.

Auchinleck Talbot will be eyeing up more memorable moments in the competition after knocking out Ayr United and Hamilton Academical in recent seasons, and they get underway this year with a home tie against Coldstream at Beechwood Park. 

Cup Winners Shield victors Drumchapel United are rewarded with a home tie against Easthouses Lily MWFC as they make their Scottish Cup bow.

Meanwhile, Cumnock have received a bye to the next round after Tower Hearts AFC withdrew from the competition.
