Burgh will be forced to split their squad next month after being handed two fixtures in different competitions on the same day at almost exactly the same time.
Scottish club Johnstone Burgh will be forced to split their squad and coaching staff across two separate matches on Saturday, November 21, due to a severe fixture clash. The team is scheduled to play away against Tayport in the Scottish Communities Cup at 2:30pm, while another side must face Dunipace in the Lowland League Cup at 3:00pm.
Johnstone Burgh confirmed they explored multiple alternatives to avoid the conflict, including proposing Friday, Sunday, or midweek dates, and even offering to forfeit their share of gate receipts. After failing to find a workable solution, the club will rely on Under-20 players to help fulfill both simultaneous fixtures.
