Eurydice was constructed at Robert Steele and Co. in Greenock in 1874, and sailed the world, as attested by the quantity of photos of her housed in Australian archives. A Norwegian company bought the ship in 1896 and changed her name to Maren. She was broken up in 1914. Source. Also.
Morton visit Methil for their Scottish Cup third round tie against East Fife. The last time these two clubs met was in round four of the 2018-19 Scottish Cup, and East Fife won. Winner today advances to the final 16.
Eight League One clubs have made it to this round, but only six Championship sides. The missing four have league matches today, so no one has nothing to do.
East Fife have had a busy week. They played league matches on Saturday (a draw), Tuesday (a loss) and Thursday (a win).
If East Fife finish fourth in League One and Morton finish ninth in the Championship they'll meet again in the playoffs.
[East Fife 1 - 2 Morton. Morton goals by McGinty and Muirhead.]
Developments:
The Lowland League admits that their season is over and have declared Kelty Hearts champion based on points per game. The Highland League won't restart either, and have designated Brora Rangers as their pyramid playoff representative. Brora only played three league matches, but did knock Heart of Midlothian out of the Scottish Cup.
Kelty Hearts in the Lowland League:
2020-21 13 12 0 1 40 4 +36 36 2.77 1st
2019-20 25 22 2 1 95 17 +78 68 2.72 1st
2018-19 28 16 6 6 61 32 +29 54 3rd
The South of Scotland League has declared its 2020-21 season null and void. The East of Scotland League will decide what to do next week. If they choose a league champion based on points per game then the title ought to go to second-place Jeanfield Swifts who have 23 points in 9 games (2.56 ppg) rather than first-place Tranent Juniors who have 28 in 12 (2.33 ppg).
The East Region clubs of the SJFA have endorsed the formation of a Midlands League to occupy tier six of the Scottish pyramid below the Highland League.
Queen's Park will play the rest of this season's home fixtures at Falkirk Stadium.
Edinburgh City will move into the newly refurbished Meadowbank Stadium next season. They have been sharing Ainslie Park with the Spartans.
