Johnstone Burgh to Field Two Teams for Two Matches on the Same Day

Scottish Fifth Division club Johnstone Burgh will play two different cup matches at the same times on Saturday, 21 November. According to the club's statement, the first match is against Tayport in the Scottish Communities Cup and will kick off at 17.30 TSİ. At 18.00 the same day, they will face Dunipace in the Lowland League Cup.

The club said it had spoken with officials to avoid playing two matches on the same day and at such closely spaced times. Johnstone Burgh stated that it proposed a different date. It also offered to give up its share of ticket revenue to reduce the negative effects of the change in the fixture schedule.

No positive development followed these offers. As a result, the club will field separate squads for both matches on 21 November. This creates a significant challenge for small clubs with limited squad depth.
