2012–13 Scottish Cup

The 2012–13 Scottish Cup was the 128th season of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. The tournament began on 4 August 2012 and ended on 26 May 2013. It was sponsored by bookmaker William Hill in the second season of a three-year partnership and is known as the William Hill Scottish Cup. The winner of the competition qualified for the third qualifying round of the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League. The holders Hearts were knocked out by their Edinburgh rivals Hibernian in the fourth round, in a repeat of the previous season's final.

Format and Calendar

edit

Due to an increase in the number of participating teams, there was a preliminary round involving four teams.[1] Thirty four other clubs from the Highland League, qualifying Junior clubs and other clubs affiliated with the Scottish Football Association were given a bye to the first round proper.[1] Third Division clubs enter in the second round, while Second Division and some First Division clubs start in the third round.[1] The remaining First Division and all Scottish Premier League (SPL) clubs enter in the fourth round (last 32).[1] The fourth round was played in early December 2012, to allow SPL clubs a brief winter shutdown in January.[2]

For the first time in its history, the Scottish Cup Final was due to be played on a Sunday.[2] This is to comply with UEFA regulations which prohibit televised matches being played on the same day as the UEFA Champions League Final.[2] The 2012 Scottish Cup Final was played on the same day as the 2012 UEFA Champions League Final, but this was done under a one-year waiver offered by UEFA.[2] Fixture congestion meant that the 2013 Scottish Cup Final could not be moved to an earlier weekend.[2]

The calendar for the 2012–13 competition is as follows:[3]
