Scottish club to play two matches on the same day

Scottish fifth-tier side Johnstone Burgh will play two different cup matches at the same time on Saturday, 21 November. According to the club's statement, the team will face Tayport in the Scottish Communities Cup at 17.30. On the same day at 18.00, they will take the field against Dunipace in the Lowland League Cup.

Club management said it had held talks with officials to have the schedule changed. Management also said it had proposed a different date. It further announced that it had offered to waive its share of the gate receipts to offset any drawbacks caused by the change in the fixture schedule.

Despite these proposals, no positive development was reached. Johnstone Burgh noted that it will field separate squads for both matches on 21 November. As a result, the club will have to play two games with two different teams on the same day.
