My second visit to Linlithgow and again it was for Scottish Cup action.  This time it was against ten time winners of the cup, Queens Park.  

The underdogs from the Scottish Lowlands league got off to a great start by taking the lead however Championship side, Queens didn't panic and scored 3 close range goals to take the tie away from the "Rosy Poseys".

Fine grandstand

MATCH 1906 - Tuesday 24 January 2023

SEASON 2022/23

SCOTTISH CUP 4th Round

Venue: PRESTONFIELD

LINLITHGOW ROSE  0  RAITH ROVERS  2

Scorers:  Gullan(2)

A day after the biggest Scottish Cup upset (Darvel beating Aberdeen) I went through to Linlithgow to visit a new ground however Raith Rovers show no signs of panic and comfortably advance to the next round of the cup.

Prestonfield is a tidy little ground and there are 2,000 fans in attendance.  The match will be best remembered for the worse collective officiating since the 2015 Scottish Cup semi final.  The ref and his standside linesman missed two penalties and wrongly called a goal from Raith at the start of the second half as offside when the home sides centre half clearly played the ball straight into the path of the Raith striker.
