Scottish Junior Cup Final Programme 2024

WELCOME
1929 after financial difficulties forced them to resign
their membership of the Scottish Football League.
Whilst a senior club, they reached the Scottish Cup
quarter-finals on three successive seasons. Losing out
to Kilmarnock & Celtic twice.
The high point of their 150 year history arrived in
1937 when they lifted their first Scottish Junior Cup,
defeating Kirkintilloch Rob Roy 5-1 in front of a
crowd of 23,000 at Celtic Park. They repeated their
success in 1998 with a comprehensive 4-0 win over
derby rivals Pollok at Fir Park, thanks to goals from
Mark McLaughlin, Johnny Millar, Steve Convery and
Steven Nugent.
A very warm welcome to Arthurlie!
A BRIEF HISTORY
Arthurlie Football Club, also known as “The ‘Lie”,
was formed in 1874, which makes it amongst the 5
oldest clubs in Scotland. Their club colours are blue
and white stripes and their change colours are red
and yellow stripes, which are the colours of Barrhead
Youth Football Club to reflect their close working
relationship.
The Barrhead boys had been one of the pace-setters
in the early 2000s, having won the inaugural Super
League First Division and spending a record run of 15
unbroken seasons in the top flight before relegation
in 2018.
Joining the new West of Scotland Football League era
in 2020, Andy McFadyen & Craig Palmer led the club
to a remarkable “Invincible” season where they won
promotion back to the Premier Division in an
undefeated campaign.
The adventure that began in 1874 continues…
The ‘Lie play at Dunterlie Park in the heart of
Barrhead and have done since 1919, having moved
from the original Dunterlie Park which had been their
home since 1906. Their record attendance at
Dunterlie is 10,500, which came in a Scottish Junior
Cup tie in March 1939 against Cambuslang Rangers.
