First Premier Sports Cup fixtures confirmed
EARLIER this week Michael Stewart conducted the Premier Sports Cup group stage draw – live on SPFL Youtube and Premier Sports.
The competition forms the opening competitive fixtures of the Scottish football season and like 39 other clubs around the country, Queen’s Park FC discovered our early opponents for season 2025-26.
Sean Crighton’s Spiders were drawn in Group A alongside Falkirk, Cove Rangers, Brechin City and The Spartans.
The fixture dates for each group stage game has now been confirmed, and the early season schedule is listed below.
Head-coach Sean Crighton said: “Seeing your opponents in black and white and having the dates confirmed really brings the new season into focus.
“Falkirk are a team we’ll be familiar with but they’re obviously a Premiership club now and looking forward to that.
“We’ve also got Brechin City – a club I’ve worked with in the past and it’ll be nice to see them.
“Spartans will be a tough game away from home. It was one of the last games I played, in the play-off with Dumbarton a couple of years ago.
“And Cove Rangers with Paul Hartley are a team who like to play football.
“They will be testing games for us and we will look to be well prepared through our pre-season programme by the time the kick-off comes around.
“I can’t wait to get started.”
