There isn’t much history between these two sides – just one previous meeting – but it went Rossvale’s way, and they’ll be looking to repeat that outcome here.

Their most recent encounter came at the end of August in the Hills Solicitors Colleges Premiership, when Rossvale Huntershill put on a clinical display to win 5–2.

Glencairn

however, have shown some strong form since then. They’ve chalked up wins against EKRR AFC, Nethercraigs AFC, Clydebank SMFC, and Darvel, with the only blemish being that loss to Rossvale. That run will give them confidence that they can cause exorcise the demons of the clubs last meeting.

Rossvale Huntershill

Huntershill have been just as sharp, though. Victories over Knightswood AFC, Lanarkshire Deaf AFC, and Kingspark United underline their attacking threat and ability to grind out results.

On paper, Rossvale carry the edge – both with their recent head-to-head win and their consistent performances. But cup football has a habit of tearing up the script, and Glencairn will be desperate to flip the narrative at their new home Budhill Park.
