SCOTTISH CUP 2nd Round
Venue: OLIVEBANK STADIUM
MUSSELBURGH ATHLETIC 2 CALEDONIAN BRAVES 1
Scorers: Barker, Court; Murray
A fine second round Scottish Cup tie between East of Scotland (6th tier) side Musselburgh and top of the Lowland League (tier 5) side Caledonian Braves. Braves took the lead in the first half and the decisive moment of the tie seemed to have come very early in the second half when the home side were reduced to ten men.
Incredibly the ten men picked themselves up and recorded an unlikely victory and cup shock!
